If accounting and QuickBooks stress you out as a founder, this might help.
Most founders don’t really understand what’s happening in their books. Not because they are bad at it, it’s just that accounting tools were never designed with them in mind.
Accountants use QuickBooks. Founders avoid opening QuickBooks.
So month-end becomes this weird mix of hope, email threads, PDFs and blind trust.
Looking at today's leaderboard... found Finlens interesting! It’s like an AI co-pilot that works with your accountant and on top of QuickBooks. No migrations. No extra software learning curve. Just clean books, faster closes, and both sides (you and your CPA) seeing the same real-time dashboard.
Some cool stuff it does:
Auto-categorizes transactions, even splits them when needed
Handles receipts, accruals, and compliance in the background
Works with your existing QuickBooks setup, no extra work for your accountant
Firms can manage multiple clients from one place (if you’re running an agency or finance practice)
They’re backed by YC and Accel, but more importantly, they’ve built something useful that clearly came from experiencing this pain themselves.
If your books feel like a black box, worth checking it out on the leaderboard: https://www.producthunt.com/products/finlens
P.S. Thought to make this post since their team reached out and requested. And I personally found the product refreshing on the leaderboard today! :)
