The Friday Brief
Fri 24 Jul

Quiet week. Here's where you stand.

In
$4,210
Out
$1,880
Kept
$2,330

I handled 47 transactions this week and only need to ask you about two.

You spent $89 at Home Depot on Tuesday — shop supplies or personal?

Shop supplies Personal

Riley's invoice is 30 days late. Want me to send a polite nudge?

Send it Leave it

That's the product. Not a dashboard you have to remember to open.

If this is your business, it's for you.

Side hustle or full-time — both fine. One person, no employees, no payroll to run, and probably one bank account doing double duty.

  • Etsy & Shopify shops
  • Freelance designers & writers
  • Consultants & coaches
  • Independent contractors
  • Trades & side hustles
  • Newsletters & content
  • Market-stall makers

Not for you if you have employees, you need inventory valuation or multi-entity reporting, or you're a funded startup with a finance team. You'd find it frustratingly narrow — and we'd rather say that now than take your money and disappoint you later.

You don't want a general ledger. You want three questions answered.

Nobody running a one-person business lies awake thinking about bookkeeping software. They lie awake thinking about this.

"Am I actually making money?"

Cash sitting in the account isn't profit, and you know it.

"Will tax time destroy me?"

Organising receipts is the single most-cited tax headache. Only a quarter of owners feel confident about what they file.

"Have I forgotten to chase someone?"

Invoices you sent, then lost track of. Money that's yours, sitting somewhere else.

Every other tool is a dashboard you forget to open — so the real competition isn't QuickBooks. It's a spreadsheet, a shoebox, and avoidance. Accountabot comes to you instead.

Your entire job, in four items.

Most software tells you what it does. Here's the more useful list — everything you are on the hook for. If it ever grows to five, we've broken something.

  1. 1

    Forward or snap receipts when you get them.

    Photo from the market stall, a forwarded supplier email, a PDF dropped in. Or send it to your own you@in.accountabot.ai address.

  2. 2

    Answer a handful of questions once a week.

    Batched into the Friday Brief. Plain English, and usually answerable with a yes or a no.

  3. 3

    Say when you've been paid outside your connected accounts.

    Cash at a fair, a bank transfer from a friend. One line: "Dana paid me 400 cash."

  4. 4

    Ask for an invoice when you need one sent.

    "Invoice Dana for the two-day workshop, 1200, net 14." It writes it, sends it, and chases it.

That's the entire list. Everything else is ours.

It works like a good bookkeeper, because that's the whole idea.

It chases you — you never chase it. It batches its questions instead of interrupting you six times a week. It never asks the same thing twice. And it's already worrying about January in November, on your behalf.

Tuesday, 4:12pm

Got the photo — $47.30 at Blick Art Materials. Filed under materials. Nothing needed from you.

You texted a receipt from the till. That was the whole interaction.

Thursday, 9:02am

Heads up — your Adobe subscription renewed at $69.99 this month, up from $54.99. Worth a look?

Unscheduled messages need a real reason. A price that changed is a real reason.

Six months in

You've corrected me twice on Etsy fees, so I've stopped asking. This week that saved you four questions.

One correction sticks permanently. The questions get fewer every month — visibly.

It never guesses quietly

If it isn't sure, it asks. It will never invent a number or change something you recorded.

Everything is reversible

Every decision it made on its own is listed, attributed, and undone in one tap.

One message a week

The Friday Brief, and that's the rhythm. Set it to fortnightly or monthly and we'll honour it.

Three things, done properly.

Money out, money in, and telling you where you stand. It does these and refuses to do anything else — which is why it stays simple.

Money out

  • Connect your bank and card — everything imports itself.
  • Receipts by any route: photo, text, forwarded email, dropped PDF.
  • Receipts matched to the right payment automatically.
  • Business and personal, properly separated — because your accounts are mixed, and that's normal.
  • Type it how you'd say it: "paid 340 cash for the trade show table."

Money in

  • Make an invoice from a sentence, and it sends with a pay link.
  • Card and bank transfer, reconciled back without you doing anything.
  • Late invoices chased in your tone — shown to you before anything goes out.
  • Quotes that become invoices in one tap. Recurring invoices that just run.
  • No cap on clients or invoices. Ever.

Knowing where you stand

  • The Friday Brief — two hundred words on your week. Not a PDF.
  • The Monthly Close — what you made, what it cost, what to set aside for tax.
  • A tax-ready pack at year end, receipts attached, ready to hand over.
  • Ask it anything: "what did I spend on shipping last year?"
  • Tap any number to see exactly where it came from, in plain English.

One price. No tiers.
Nothing is ever taken away.

You've probably been on the receiving end of this: a tool you relied on quietly moves receipt scanning, or bank feeds, or automation behind a new Pro tier. We're writing the rules down now, while there's no revenue pressure to break them.

Every core feature, in the one plan. No client limits, no invoice limits, no transaction limits, no per-user fees.

Nothing in the core ever becomes an add-on. Extras like inventory are optional, off by default, and only ever add.

The exit is a feature. One click, full export, any time, free — and we'd rather advertise that than hide it.

Your accountant gets something real. The books underneath are kept properly. You'll never have to look at them.

One plan, priced to be boring. We'll publish the number before we open the doors.

What we will never build

Not a roadmap we haven't got to — a list of declines. Every one of these is how simple tools turn into the thing you left.

  • A chart of accounts, or anything that makes you learn accounting
  • A custom report builder
  • An app store with four hundred integrations
  • User roles, permissions and approval chains
  • Purchase orders and bill approval workflows
  • Loans, credit cards, or any banking product
  • Filing your taxes for you — we hand off, cleanly

If you outgrow us, the honest answer is "you've outgrown us — here's your export." We'd rather say that than become the thing you were escaping.

Grow faster. Don't hire more bookkeepers.

Join the waitlist. We'll reach out when we're ready for you.

No card, no spam. One email when there's a spot.
