Fastbooks

Fastbooks is an AI-powered accounting platform built for freelancers and small businesses who’d rather be doing literally anything else than bookkeeping.

The core idea is simple: your books shouldn’t be the hardest part of running a business. Fastbooks uses AI to scan bills, categorise expenses, and create journal entries automatically. Snap a photo of a receipt, and it extracts the vendor, amount, and line items. Send an email with an attached invoice, and it gets filed and classified without you lifting a finger.

It handles the full accounting loop — invoicing and quotes, expense tracking, recurring billing, payment reminders, and 13+ financial reports including Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Tax Summary, and Aged Receivables. There’s also an AI Accountant you can ask questions in plain English, like “how much did I spend on software last quarter?” and get an actual answer from your data.

On the integrations side, it syncs with bank accounts and Stripe to pull in transactions automatically, and has workflow automations for things like classification rules and email-to-bill processing.

The goal was to cut bookkeeping time by 80% — automate the tedious stuff so small teams can focus on the work that actually matters.

It’s live at fastbooks.app.
