Overview

Clerk.AI is a Mac app, with an iPhone companion, that does the boring half of your bookkeeping — the gathering. It runs on your own Mac, driving your browser the way you would.

If an accountant does your books, you still do that part yourself: bank statements, the invoices you sent, and a receipt for everything you bought, scattered across email, billing portals and your camera roll.

Clerk.AI does it on your own machine. It signs into the accounts in its own Chrome profile, hunts down the documents that match each line on the statement, reads the receipts sitting in your photo library, and stops to ask you about the handful of judgement calls only you can make — whether that trip was business, which of two invoices is the real one. Two-factor prompts stay with you.

What your accountant receives is a folder and a drafted email, in the language they read. It reads your documents in whatever language they arrive in, so an English speaker running a company in Berlin can send German bookkeeping to a German accountant without leaving English themselves.

Nothing to connect, nothing to migrate, and nothing for your accountant to adopt — they carry on exactly as they do now. Your books stay on your Mac.

Pay what you decide, including nothing: it is the same app at every price.
