LobsterBooks was born from a simple frustration: small business owners spend too much time on bookkeeping and not enough time on the work they love. We're building an AI-powered bookkeeper that handles the tedious stuff, so you don't have to.
We've been there — staring at a pile of receipts on a Sunday afternoon, wondering if that lunch was a business expense or not. Trying to reconcile bank statements in a spreadsheet. Dreading tax season because the books are a mess.
Traditional bookkeeping software is powerful but overwhelming. Hiring a bookkeeper is great but expensive. We thought: what if AI could bridge that gap? What if you could have a bookkeeper that works 24/7, costs a fraction of the price, and gets smarter the more you use it?
That's LobsterBooks. We combine modern AI (powered by Claude) with solid double-entry accounting fundamentals. You get accurate books without the accounting degree. Upload a receipt, and it's categorized in seconds. Create an invoice, and it's tracked automatically. Pull a P&L report with one click.
We're a small team building something we wish existed when we were running our own businesses. We're in early access right now, working closely with our first users to build the bookkeeping tool that small businesses actually deserve.
Bookkeeping should be as easy as snapping a photo or sending a message. We remove complexity so you can focus on your business.
Every feature is designed for founders, freelancers, and small teams — not enterprise finance departments.
Clear pricing, honest about what our AI can and can't do, and your data is always exportable. No lock-in, ever.
