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 teams based outside of the US tend to use Xero, and businesses inside the US tend to lean more toward QuickBooks Online.
This is important because it means that the features QBO is building is more focused on things like US Sales Tax laws, while Xero may have more accounting features helpful outside of the US especially.
Also, accountants outside of the US are often more proficient with Xero as compared to QBO (although they should be familiar with both).
