Accounting software for startups that keeps you investor-ready

Early-stage teams cannot afford a full-time bookkeeper, and founders should not be doing data entry at midnight. HelloBooks gives startups an AI bookkeeper from day one — clean books, real-time burn and runway, and financials your investors and accountant trust, starting free.

Clean books from incorporation, not from your Series A cleanup

The startups that raise smoothly are the ones whose books were clean the whole way — not the ones who pay for an emergency cleanup the week before due diligence. HelloBooks keeps your books continuously reconciled and categorized so diligence is a download, not a project.

The AI bookkeeper categorizes spend, reconciles your bank and card feeds, captures bills and receipts, and drafts month-end — so a founder or ops lead can own finance in minutes a week instead of hiring early.

  • Real-time burn rate and runway from your live ledger
  • Multi-entity consolidation for holding companies and subsidiaries
  • Investor-ready P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — exportable any time
  • Multi-currency with auto FX for global teams and contractors
  • A free reviewer seat for your accountant or fractional CFO
  • Cleanup mode to fix any messy early-stage stretch in a single pass

Scales from pre-seed to scale-up without a re-platform

Start on the Free Plan while you are pre-revenue. As you raise and grow, Pro adds unlimited users, multi-entity, multi-currency, and API access — without migrating to a different system. Your ledger and history carry over unchanged.

When you bring on a finance hire or a fractional CFO, they inherit clean, structured books and an AI that already knows your vendor patterns.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a non-finance founder run this?
Yes. The AI bookkeeper handles categorization, reconciliation, and report prep; you review and approve. A founder or ops lead can own finance in a few minutes a week, with an accountant on a free reviewer seat for the judgment calls.
Does it show burn rate and runway?
Yes. Because the ledger is live, your burn rate, runway, and cash position update in real time. You can also use the cash-flow runway tool for scenario planning.
Can it handle a holding company and subsidiaries?
Yes. Multi-entity consolidation is available on Pro, so you can run a parent and its subsidiaries and produce consolidated financials for investors.
Is it really free to start?
Yes. The Free Plan is permanent — 3 users, unlimited invoicing, full reporting, and 5,000 AI credits a month — with no credit card. Most pre-revenue startups can run on it until they grow.
Will our books be ready for due diligence?
Yes. Continuously reconciled books, exportable financial statements, and a clean audit trail mean diligence is a matter of granting access and exporting reports, not reconstructing a year of transactions.
