Self-driving bookkeeping — Accounting software that does the work for you.
Kick is a new AI-powered bookkeeping and accounting platform that we are super bullish on. We’ve been stuck using QuickBooks Online (QBO) since 2010 because there weren’t many other options, but let’s be real—it’s dreadful to use. When we found Kick, we were stoked. If you’re a new business, we strongly recommend starting with Kick—it’s about 500 times more user-friendly than QBO. The Stripe, PayPal, and Mercury integrations work seamlessly out of the box, unlike QBO’s nightmare setup. That said, if you need full accrual accounting, heavy inventory tracking, or complex e-commerce features, Kick isn’t quite there yet—but they’re catching up fast.

Accounting software for small and medium teams often based outside of the US.
We find that most teams based outside of the US tend to use Xero, while the US seems to favor QuickBooks Online, although we believe Xero to be a leader in the accounting space even within the US.
If you're a smaller business, running on a cash-basis, and looking for the most modern accounting software, you might want to consider Kick, but if you're looking for something tried, true, and tested, or run an accrual-basis business, Xero is a great choice, regardless of whether you're a US or non-US business.
