Startup Bookkeeper
Conversational bookkeeping skill for Claude
About
A Claude skill that turns expense tracking into a conversation: say 'paid $149 for GitHub' and it logs, categorizes, and persists the transaction. It handles recurring subscriptions, receipt OCR from photos, multi-currency logging, monthly P&L reports, and proactive alerts for overdue invoices or blown budgets, plus an interactive dashboard. Install with git clone and copying the folder into ~/.claude/skills/. The README is upfront about limits: it's a lightweight tracker, not GAAP accounting software, with no tax advice, no payroll, and no auditable statements. 19 stars on GitHub, MIT licensed.
