Brewed Books — Your books, perfectly brewed

Your books, perfectly brewed.

AI-powered bookkeeping for developers, freelancers, and people who'd rather build than reconcile.

No credit card required.

It's bookkeeping. But you talk to it.

Most bookkeeping software was built for accountants and then dumbed down for everyone else. Brewed Books was built for people who think in APIs, not spreadsheets.

Import your bank transactions. Let the AI categorize them. Review what it did. Hit approve. That's it. That's bookkeeping.

1

Import

Drop in a CSV, connect your bank, or paste a Stripe export. We'll parse it.

2

AI Categorizes

Rules match what they can. Claude handles the rest. You approve everything.

3

Reports Build Themselves

P&L, balance sheet, cash flow — all generated from your categorized transactions.

Only in Brewed Books

What if you could branch your books?

Reclassify 50 transactions, check the P&L, and decide if it looks right — all without touching your real books.

Create a scenario

Open a sandbox from your current books. Recategorize transactions, move things around, experiment freely.

Preview the impact

See exactly what your changes would do. Review every modification before it touches your live books.

Apply or discard

Happy? Apply it to your books in one click. Not happy? Discard it. Nothing was harmed. Every change is tracked and revertible.

Every mutation to your books creates an immutable commit with before/after diffs. Full audit trail, one-click revert. Accounting shouldn't be scary. Developers: yes, it's basically git for your books.

Real usage

"Claude found a $1,400 error in 30 seconds"

A founder's balance sheet didn't match their bank statement. They asked Claude to figure out why. It found the problem, explained it, and fixed it — all through Brewed Books.

Everything you need. Probably nothing you don't.

It learns where your money goes

Import a bank statement. The AI matches transactions to accounts using rules it learns from your history — and falls back to Claude when it sees something new.

Bring your own agent

Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client. Your LLM categorizes transactions using your API key, your credits. We never touch your AI keys.

Actually correct, not just vibes

Real double-entry accounting. Journal entries, debits and credits, balance sheets that balance. Your accountant will be pleasantly confused.

CSV, OFX, Stripe, whatever

Drag in your bank export. Connect via Plaid. Import Stripe charges with fees split out automatically. We've seen some weird formats.

mix books context and chill

CLI, API, or MCP — talk to your books however you want.

terminal
$ mix books context Acme LLC — Financial Overview ══════════════════════════════════════ Transactions: To review: 12 AI suggested: 3 Reviewed: 214 Reconciled: 186 Financials (YTD): Cash balance: $32,450.00 Revenue: $86,400.00 Expenses: $41,200.00 Net income: $45,200.00 $ mix books pnl --start=2025-01-01 --end=2025-12-31 $ mix books stripe-enrich --dry-run

Or ask Claude: "What did I spend on travel last quarter?" and get a real answer from real data.

Built for people who build things

Indie Developers

You have a side project that accidentally makes money. Now you need to track it. Congrats, I guess.

Solo Founders

You're the CEO, CTO, and CFO. At least one of those jobs should be easy.

Freelancers

You invoice people and money shows up eventually. Let's keep track of where it all goes.

Conference Organizers

Sponsorship revenue, venue costs, speaker travel — we know because we built this for Deep Dish Swift.

Switching from QuickBooks?

Export 4 files. Upload them. Done. We'll import your chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, and journal entries. Your accountant won't notice the difference — except they'll be happier.

Questions you probably have

Is this actually bookkeeping or just expense tracking?

Real double-entry bookkeeping. Journal entries, chart of accounts, balance sheets, P&L. Your accountant can review the actual ledger.

Can my accountant use this?

Yes. They get their own login and can review everything. They'll probably have opinions about your chart of accounts. That's normal.

What if the AI categorizes something wrong?

You review everything before it hits the ledger. Nothing happens without your say-so.

Do I need to know accounting?

No. But you'll accidentally learn some. Debits go on the left. That's free.

Can I import from QuickBooks?

Yes. We have a QuickBooks import parser. It's cathartic.

Is my data safe?

Encrypted at rest and in transit. Or self-host and keep everything on your own infrastructure.

You've read this far, which means your books are probably a mess.

That's fine. Start free. Import some transactions. Let the AI do its thing.
