One month in, zero sign-ups. But I'm still at it.
by•
I'm Dominic, a solo developer. Two months ago I launched Tally Assistant — an AI-native bookkeeping tool born out of pure frustration.
Here's the problem I was living: every month I'd download CSVs from PayPal, Stripe, Wise, and my bank — each in a completely different format. Different date orders. Different delimiters. Different decimal separators. I'd spend 2-3 hours manually reformatting everything into a single spreadsheet, categorizing transactions one by one, converting currencies by Googling exchange rates, and then chasing clients who hadn't paid.
I looked at existing tools. QuickBooks felt like it was built for accountants in 2005. Wave was free but multi-currency was effectively broken. FreshBooks was decent for invoicing but had zero AI capabilities. Everything was either too simple or too complex — nothing in between for how modern freelancers actually get paid.
So I built what I needed: a tool that auto-detects any bank CSV format, categorizes transactions by merchant, generates invoices from plain English descriptions, sends automated payment reminders that escalate from friendly to firm, and handles 30+ currencies natively. All free through September 2026.
I'd love honest feedback from the PH community. What sucks? What's confusing? What's missing? Roast it — I fix things faster than big companies do. 11 views
