About

Kick is an AI bookkeeping platform that automates the accounting work most small business owners dread. It connects to your bank and card accounts, categorises transactions in real time, reconciles statements, and surfaces the deductions and reports you need at tax time — with expert review layered on top for accuracy. Pitched as 'self-driving bookkeeping,' Kick is aimed at founders, freelancers, and modern accountants who want their books kept current without hiring a full-time bookkeeper. The company has raised $20M to build what it calls the accounting firm of the future, and its free tier (for businesses under $25k in annual expenses) makes it an unusually low-friction entry point for early-stage operators.
