Owner Cash Clarity Dashboard + Tax-Ready Books Checklist (Excel)

Kick is the ledger. You connect banks and cards through Plaid, plus Stripe, PayPal, Mercury, Ramp, Gusto, and BILL. Transactions land in Kick's cash-basis books already categorized. You review the misses, keep the rules that stick, match receipts, and reconcile. Reports and the year-end tax package come out of Kick.

It does not sit on QuickBooks Online or Xero. The live books live here, which is the opposite of Double (a layer on the file you already have) or staying in Wave with a local bookkeeper. For a US service shop, Kick's job is a shorter weekly review than QuickBooks and a year-end package a CPA can use. Owner help currently gates a direct QuickBooks import to Advanced; everyone else starts from bank feeds and a CSV or statement import.

People who stick with Kick are usually DIY US owners who found QuickBooks heavier than the books they actually keep. They care most about a clean year-end handoff: a review pass and a package an accountant can use, without paying a monthly bookkeeping service.

Bank, card, and processor lines post to the cash ledger as they sync. You correct the misses and keep rules. Kick leaves a transaction uncategorized when it is not confident.

Categorize as the feed lands

Forward, photograph, or upload receipts. Kick matches them to the bank or card line instead of leaving a pile in your camera roll.

Receipt and document matching

Plus and Advanced keep multiple LLCs in one login, match intercompany transfers, and split shared bills. New entities start free for 250 transactions, then $50/month, and that count does not reset next year. Older Plus plans stay capped at 5 entities until you move to current pricing.

Multi-entity in one workspace

Download an Excel year-end package (cover, P&L, balance sheet, general ledger, trial balance) for your CPA. Flag vendors as 1099 eligible and export a 1099 report. Kick does not e-file 1099s or the return.

Tax package and 1099 review

Cash-basis books are on every plan and post as transactions sync. Plus and Advanced add an accrual ledger, classes, departments, locations, projects, and AR/AP aging. Accrual posts only after you confirm the lines or a rule auto-confirms them.

Cash ledger now, accrual on Plus

Basic and above include an MCP server and CLI so you can query or update the books from Claude, ChatGPT, or a terminal. Firms also get a REST API across every workspace they manage.

MCP, CLI, and a REST API

Kick replaces QuickBooks for US service businesses. Free to 250 expenses/year, paid from $40/mo billed annually. Multi-entity, the catch, and who should skip it.

Double (formerly Keeper) is close software for bookkeeping and accounting firms, and for in-house finance teams. You connect each client's QuickBooks Online or Xero file. The team categorizes bank feeds, attaches workpapers, messages the client, and posts journal entries from one close page. Changes sync back to the ledger. It does not replace QuickBooks or Xero. The client's books still live there.

Firms pay per connected client, with unlimited users. Core is $10 per client per month for a cash-basis close: two-way ledger sync, AI bank feeds, a branded client portal, 1099/W-9 tracking, tasks, and reports. Plus is $25 and adds receipt capture. Scale is $50 and adds accruals plus AI journal entries from source files such as payroll reports. Tax Suite is $200 per month on an annual commitment. Extra practice inboxes are $10 each; Core includes one. In-house finance teams get an annual flat quote with NetSuite and Sage Intacct. You start with a demo, then a guided trial. You need at least one connected client (or your QuickBooks Online Accountant file).

Skip it if you close your own books. Double is priced and built for a firm running many client closes, not a 5-person shop in QuickBooks. Quarterly clients are still billed every month. A 20-client cash-basis book on Core is $200 per month; the same book on Plus is $500. Book the demo and run one real close before you move checklists out of a spreadsheet or another practice tool.

Connect QuickBooks Online or Xero. Tasks, workpapers, client questions, and review live on one close. Posts write back to the client's file.

Close page on the live ledger

Included on Core and above. Transactions land in matches, rules, auto-classifications, or needs-review so you approve instead of coding from scratch.

AI bank feeds

Receipt capture starts on Plus ($25/client). Accruals and AI journal entries from payroll, POS, or settlement PDFs start on Scale ($50/client).

Receipts, accruals, and journal entries

Branded portal uses email magic links. Clients upload docs and answer questions on the close instead of a separate thread.

Client portal without another password

Core includes vendor threshold tracking and W-9 requests so year-end 1099 work starts during the monthly close.

1099 and W-9 tracking

Put cash-basis clients on Core and accrual clients on Scale. Unlimited staff. Unconnected prospects are free. Quarterly clients still bill monthly.

Per-client mix and match

Double is close software for bookkeeping firms on QuickBooks Online or Xero. Per-client pricing from $10/mo. Not a ledger, and not for DIY owners.

Receipt Bot is a capture tool, not a ledger. You photograph, email, or upload receipts, supplier invoices, and PDF bank statements. OCR plus a staff check pulls supplier, dates, amounts, tax, and line items. You review, then export into QuickBooks Online or Xero as a bill, expense, invoice, or sales receipt with the image attached. You can also download Excel, CSV, or bank-import files (OFX, QBO, QIF) and skip the live sync.

The bill is the standout: unlimited users and client entities, you pay for document credits, unused credits roll six months, and a person checks the extract before you approve. Starter is $9/month for 45 credits. Standard is $27 for 150. Pro is $81 for 510. A simple invoice costs one credit. Line items cost two per page. Bank or supplier statement pages cost three. The mobile app has a free plan with 10 credits a month. Paid trials start with 30 credits and no card. As of August 2026 they also advertise 10% off the first six months.

Skip it if you need Dext-style supplier auto-fetch, an expense-report product for employees, or a US-first app with a deep review record. Documents must be English. When credits run out, processing pauses until the next bill. The Android app is mainly a camera; bank statements live on the web. Run the 30 free credits through a real month of invoices before you replace your current intake.

OCR reads the document, then qualified staff verify supplier, amounts, tax, and line items before you approve. English documents only.

Staff-checked extraction

Snap on iOS or Android, forward to a per-business inbox, upload in the web app, or pipe files through Zapier or the API.

Photo, email, web, or Zapier intake

Export creates a bill, expense, vendor credit, invoice, credit memo, or sales receipt with the image attached. Bulk export is capped at 25. You can re-export after edits.

Push to QuickBooks Online or Xero

Web-only. Reads statement pages and downloads Excel, CSV, OFX, QFX, QBO, QIF, or IIF. Each statement page costs three credits.

PDF bank statement conversion

Paid plans include unlimited staff, clients, and businesses. No per-client fee. Firms get a practice dashboard and co-branding.

Unlimited users and entities

Unused paid credits carry up to six months. When the balance hits zero, processing stops until the next billing date or you upgrade.

Credits that roll, then pause

Receipt Bot reads receipts, invoices, and PDF bank statements, then you push coded bills into QuickBooks Online or Xero. Credit-priced, no per-client fee.
