About Botkeeper

Botkeeper combines AI bookkeeping automation with a team of skilled accounting professionals to deliver a fully managed bookkeeping service for CPA and accounting firms. The platform handles transaction categorisation, bank reconciliation, payroll, and financial reporting — with human accountants reviewing and correcting AI output before it reaches the firm or their client. Botkeeper offers a white-labelled client portal so firms can deliver a branded experience. It integrates with QuickBooks Online and Xero, and the pricing model (per client per month) makes it easy to scale.

Scaled our bookkeeping practice from 40 to 120 clients

Botkeeper is built for CPA firms and it shows. The white-label client portal, the AI-assisted categorisation, and the way it slots into our existing QuickBooks and Xero workflows made scaling our bookkeeping division possible without proportional headcount growth. Pricing is reasonable on a per-client basis.

Solid platform with a genuine human backstop

The combination of AI automation with human accountants reviewing the work gives our clients confidence. We have had fewer year-end surprises since adopting Botkeeper. The dashboard for monitoring client health is genuinely useful. Mobile experience for clients is adequate but not polished.
