How it works
First statement
under 10 minutes.
No spreadsheet formulas. No accounting degree required. Upload, confirm, and download — the double-entry math happens automatically in the background.
Upload your bank statement
Drag and drop a PDF or CSV bank statement. Bookkipa detects the columns, extracts transactions, and checks opening and closing balances. Takes about 30 seconds.
Review categorizations
Most merchants are recognized automatically — Stripe payouts, AWS charges, Zoom subscriptions. You review what's uncertain. One click to confirm, one to correct.
Separate personal from business
Personal expenses get flagged. Mark them with one click and they're excluded from your deductible total — still tracked so you see the full picture.
Download your tax summary
Expenses mapped to exact Schedule C line numbers — line 8 for advertising, line 17 for legal, line 24b for the 50% meals deduction. Hand it directly to your preparer.
Tax accuracy
Mapped to the exact lines your CPA needs.
Every expense category in Bookkipa maps to a printed Schedule C line number. Your tax preparer gets a summary they can use directly — no translation, no rework.
Modified cash basis
The AICPA-recognized standard for small businesses. Every statement includes a plain-language basis note so your CPA knows exactly what they're reviewing.

FAQ
Questions from freelancers.
No. The workflow is: upload statement, confirm suggested categories, download report. You don't need to know what a journal entry is. The double-entry accounting happens in the background and makes the numbers correct. You just see a P&L.
Mark them as personal with one click. They go to a non-deductible account and are excluded from your Schedule C total. They still appear in the full transaction list so you can see the complete picture.
You can upload as often as you like — daily, monthly, whenever. For most freelancers, once a month is enough. Import the statement, spend 10 minutes reviewing, lock the period, and move on.
Bookkipa applies the 50% meals deductibility rule automatically. The tax summary shows both the gross amount spent and the 50% deductible figure on line 24b.
