Hire your AI accountant
Bookkeeping, invoicing, and month-end close — run by chat.
Your AI Accountant keeps the books clean without you ever opening QuickBooks. It categorizes every Stripe charge, reconciles bank feeds, sends invoices with net-30 follow-ups, and closes the month on the first business day. You get a P&L you can actually read and a founder who stops dreading taxes.

Frequently asked questions
Can an AI Accountant replace my bookkeeper?
For most solo and small businesses under $5M revenue, yes. The AI Accountant handles the 95% of bookkeeping that is categorization, reconciliation, and invoicing — the work a bookkeeper does for $300-$800/month. What it does not replace is a CPA for tax filing, audit defense, or complex entity work. Most founders running Tycoon keep a CPA on retainer for two hours of tax work in April and run the rest through the AI Accountant year-round. The economics land roughly 80-90% cheaper than a monthly bookkeeper plus CPA package.
Which accounting software does it work with?
QuickBooks Online and Xero are first-class — full read and write, real-time categorization, month-end close automation. FreshBooks, Wave, and Zoho Books work via API with somewhat less automation depth. For pure Stripe-only businesses without a GL yet, the AI Accountant can run a simplified ledger in Google Sheets for the first $500K in revenue, then migrate you into QuickBooks when it actually matters. Pick what you already use; you do not need to migrate anything.
How does it handle ambiguous transactions?
The AI Accountant categorizes with high confidence when the merchant and amount pattern match prior history. When confidence is below threshold — say a new vendor or an unusual amount — it queues the item for a morning confirmation message in the CEO chat, three transactions at a time. You answer in one line ("that was a contractor payment, bucket as 1099-NEC") and the rule compounds. After two weeks of use most founders report the queue is empty most days.
What about payroll and contractor payments?
The AI Accountant reads Gusto and Deel feeds, books the expense correctly, and keeps contractor totals ready for 1099 filing at year end. It does not run payroll itself — that is still Gusto's job. What changes is that reconciliation between payroll runs and your GL is automatic, and the year-end contractor totals are ready January 15 instead of a March scramble. Most founders save six to eight hours of year-end cleanup per contractor.
Does it know my specific tax situation?
The AI Accountant reads your entity type, state, and prior year filings to make reasonable estimates. For anything beyond baseline — R&D credits, QBI deduction, multi-state nexus, equity compensation — it drafts the calculation and hands it to your CPA for review rather than claiming authority it does not have. This is the honest way: automate the 80% of bookkeeping that is mechanical and let a human CPA own the 20% that requires judgment. The split is designed so you never wonder whether the AI overreached.
