Bookkeeping with BYO AI — HelloLedger
Bookkeeping for small businesses that your own AI can use
Bookkeeping software for owner-operated businesses. No payroll, no approval chains, no seats to manage — just connect your bank, categorize automatically, send invoices, and stay on top of sales tax. Then ask your books questions in Claude or ChatGPT. HelloLedger connects to the AI you already use, so you're not paying extra for a chatbot you didn't ask for.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Ryan. I built HelloLedger solo.
Every bookkeeping tool I've used was overly complicated, packed with features built for businesses much larger than mine. They added AI, but always as a chatbot stapled to the side. I wanted the opposite: fewer features, done properly, on a platform that speaks AI natively rather than having it retrofitted.
The boring part it does well. Connect your bank through Plaid, set categorization rules once, and transactions sort themselves - including retroactively, so you're not hand-fixing the last six months. Invoices, expenses, sales tax, and the reports your accountant asks for. That's the whole surface area, on purpose.
Bring your own AI. HelloLedger ships an MCP server, so you connect Claude or ChatGPT and ask your books questions directly. "What did I spend on software last quarter?" "What's my sales tax owing?" No proprietary assistant, no AI surcharge, and no lock-in to whichever model I happened to pick.
For the infrastructure people: every account runs in its own container with its own database. Your data isn't a row in a shared table with a tenant_id on it. It's a real boundary, not a WHERE clause. Happy to go deeper on this in the comments — it's the part I had the most fun building.
I'm opening 200 founding member spots at 20% off for two years.
Ask me the hard questions — about the product, the stack, or what I got wrong.
