Kick
Self-driving bookkeeping that categorizes transactions and hunts deductions automatically.
About
Kick is a bookkeeping platform for entrepreneurs that leans on AI to categorize transactions in real time, match receipts, and surface tax deductions without manual data entry. It is free for businesses with up to $25,000 in annual expenses, and the Plus plan (about $125/month billed quarterly) adds multi-entity support, a general ledger, and custom charts of accounts.
The tradeoff is focus: it is built around US tax workflows, so international businesses are not well served, and the receipt matching is strongest on straightforward transactions rather than messy edge cases.
What it can do
- AI transaction auto-categorization
- Receipt matching
- Tax deduction tracking
- Real-time P&L and balance sheet
- Multi-entity accounting (Plus plan)
- Gusto payroll integration
Setup
- Create an account at kick.co and connect your bank accounts and credit cards.
- Let the AI categorize recent transactions and review its suggestions.
- Upload receipts so they can be matched to transactions.
- Invite your accountant or team members if needed.
- Review the generated P&L and balance sheet before tax time.
Prerequisites
A US-based business or US tax obligations; bank accounts you can connect.
