   Appreciate the thoughtful feedback. You're right that accountants play a huge role in software adoption, and we’re spending a lot of time talking to them to understand their workflows. That said, we think the landscape is shifting. AI

   Fair point, Excel is the standard, and we’re not trying to replace it. But an embedded sheet lets us do things that an add-in just can’t, like asking AI a question and having it generate a full sheet with supporting data instantly. The expe

    Thanks! We're focused on small businesses/startups. Out of the box no it doesn't support automatically calculating federal quarterly tax estimates. You could have a live sheet with a formula for this that updates as your inco

    That's a great point and was actually what led to the pivot to accounting software. We originally tried to make this just a reporting tool (aggregate financial sources, think equals.com) but came to the same realisation that it was h

    Good question, what would be best for you? Right now if you suspect an error in AI response you can flag it/submit as feedback. For anything that AI does without your input (bookkeeping) we associate a confidence with it and when below

    Great question, we don't have an official roadmap but over the next few months we'll likely ship: magic inbox (auto linking receipts/invoices/etc... to transactions, payroll/hr integrations, e-commerce integrations)

    Nice app! Just downloaded however there's a bug where regardless of the focus time I set (when the app first launches) it always counts down from 20mins. If I edit the focus time in settings it will change. I'm on an M1 OS 14.1.1
