About
Built for the books that get filed, not admired.
Bookkipa is bookkeeping software for cash-basis small businesses — the 30 million US businesses that file on Schedule C or a small corporate return and don't need a platform built for mid-market accrual accounting.
Existing tools fail them in three ways: too much surface area (invoicing, inventory, accruals they'll never use), bad ingestion (CSV imports break on format drift, PDF statements aren't supported), and categorization that never gets accurate (rules are hidden, AI suggestions aren't auditable, and nothing maps to an actual tax form line).
Bookkipa does exactly four things: ingest, categorize, post, and report. Every categorized transaction becomes a balanced double-entry journal entry in a real general ledger. Every report maps to actual IRS form lines. The accounting is correct by construction — trial balance totals are enforced by a database constraint.
Our accounting stance
Bookkipa uses the modified cash basis — the AICPA-recognized middle ground between pure cash basis and full accrual. Revenue and expenses are recorded when cash changes hands. Loans are liabilities. Credit card balances are tracked. Fixed assets above the de minimis threshold can be capitalized and depreciated. Every statement includes a plain-language basis note.
We don't pretend the books are GAAP. The statements say “Modified Cash Basis” and the distinction matters. Tax preparers don't have to rework the output.
