Meet Fastbooks — Simple accounting with AI

For the past 13 years, we’ve been running small businesses of our own, across various industries and stages—from managing agencies to navigating regulated sectors. During these 13 years, we’ve used a wide range of bookkeeping tools, from simple invoicing platforms to complex bookkeeping tools, and even more complex finance software.

Yet, despite using all these tools, we still found ourselves struggling to manage our books effectively. We spent valuable hours navigating these systems instead of focusing on our customers or growing our business. When we started our first business, we faced challenges in setting up our books correctly, creating an effective chart of accounts, and understanding how to properly record and report financial data. That’s where the idea for Fastbooks was born.

We believe bookkeeping and accounting need to be simple, even for someone starting their very first business today. Entrepreneurs already have enough challenges to tackle—bookkeeping shouldn’t be one of them.

Secondly, pricing should be simple and transparent. When you look at many bookkeeping tools on the market, some of them have more pricing plans than the services you offer in your own business. We’ve also been victims of unnecessary, artificial price hikes year after year. I remember using one tool that charged an additional $4/month per user for expense tracking, regardless of whether the user was actively using that feature or not. And let’s not forget tools that consistently increase their prices without offering any meaningful improvements or new features.

Thirdly, we want to automate the mundane tasks that no one enjoys doing. The last thing a small business owner needs is a laundry list of repetitive administrative tasks. Expense categorization, bill entry, and reminders should all happen automatically.

Lastly, we want to create a simple AI copilot to help you run your finances—think of it as having a CFO in your pocket. This tool will not only make running your business faster but also provide you with actionable financial insights in real-time.

We’re embarking on a journey to deliver these promises to fellow small business owners. Our mission is to make accounting and bookkeeping simple, ensure transparent pricing, and automate tedious tasks—all while offering you an AI-powered financial assistant at your fingertips.

And finally, we want our users to be a core part of shaping the future of Fastbooks. We’re not just building a product—we’re building a solution that truly addresses your needs and solves your problems.

Let’s build something great together.
