Bookkeeping for small business — done for you
Closed on time, by a named human, every month. The sorting happens quietly in the background. What you see is one clear sign-off — and books you never have to worry about.
Why this exists
December 27, 2024
A popular bookkeeping startup — the one that promised small businesses a modern, handled back office — shut down with almost no notice. Thousands of owners lost access to their own books days before tax season.
The pattern
It wasn't one mistake. It was the model: software sold as a service, staffed by people trained on the fly, with no real accountability. When the money ran out, the books went dark. The customers were never the point.
What small businesses learned
That 'handled' can mean 'held hostage.' That a dashboard is not a relationship. That a promise made in a pricing page means nothing at 3pm on a Friday.
Kept is built the other way around: the technology does the heavy lifting quietly, a named human is accountable for every close, and your data belongs to you — always.
That's the Kept Promise
How it works
Link your bank accounts and drop in your receipts. Our team imports and cleans up the past — including three messy months on Growth and Pro.
The engine classifies every transaction in the background. Before anything is official, a named, credentialed reviewer goes through it line by line and signs the close.
Your books land in your inbox, closed and explained. Anything that looks off gets fixed — never silent, never after tax season.

AI does the heavy lifting behind the scenes — sorting transactions, matching receipts, keeping the busywork out of your way. But a named, credentialed reviewer signs off on every single close. The technology is ours; the accountability is a person.
It costs us. If your books aren't closed by 8:02am on the 5th business day (3rd on Pro), you get an automatic credit — no forms, no phone calls, no fine print.
Never. Export your books in one click, any time — CSV, spreadsheet, or QBO. Cancel and keep working with your own files. There is no exit fee, no hostage situation. That's the whole point.
That's our favorite kind. We import, clean up, and reconcile the past — up to 3 months of catch-up included on Growth, more as a one-time cleanup on any plan. Your first close lands within 30 days.
We keep your books tax-ready every month, so tax season stops being a rescue mission. Filing is handled by licensed preparers — we'll connect you when the time comes. We stay in our lane, and you stay out of trouble.
