Building an AI accountant for SMEs — would founders actually use this?

Hey everyone 👋

I’m working on an AI-powered bookkeeping/accounting assistant for small businesses.

The idea is simple:

Most SMEs still struggle with spreadsheets, manual bookkeeping, invoices, GST/tax tracking, and bank reconciliation.

So we’re building an AI finance copilot that can:

• auto-categorize transactions

• extract invoice & receipt data

• reconcile bank statements

• track GST/taxes

• generate P&L reports

• answer finance questions in plain English

Example:

“How much GST do I owe this month?”

“Which clients haven’t paid yet?”

“What are my biggest expenses?”

The long-term vision is to help SMEs run finance operations without needing complex accounting software.

Would love feedback from:

• founders

• accountants

• ecommerce sellers

• agencies

• small business owners

What’s the biggest pain point you face with bookkeeping/accounting today?
