Books Coming soon
AI bookkeeping software
for small businesses.
Books by DomoDomu is AI bookkeeping software for small businesses and landlords, built to work with your accountant, with planned pricing from $19/mo billed yearly. It turns bank lines, receipts and bills into suggestions with a reason and a confidence, and nothing posts to your books until you approve it. Books is coming soon.
- AI is optional
- Nothing posts without approval
- Invite your accountant free
Example Books review inbox: five bank lines, each with a suggested category, the reason for it and how sure Books is, waiting for approval.

Review inbox
How does the review inbox decide a category, and where does AI come in?
Every bank line goes through the same order: your rules, then matching to invoices and bills, then transfer matching, then what Books learned from your past approvals of that payee, then an AI suggestion, and last a keyword fallback. The first step that finds an answer wins.
Whatever the source, the suggestion lands in the review inbox with its reason and a confidence, and nothing posts to the books until it's approved: by you, by your accountant, or by an auto-approve rule you set up yourself. AI is optional. Turn it off and the other steps still run.
- Auto-approve rules for the lines you never want to look at again
- Learning per payee, from what you've approved before
- Nightly checks for duplicates, wrong-direction amounts, unusual accounts and missing receipts
- An activity log with undo
Example of why Books suggested a category for one bank line: no rule, open bill, transfer or past approval matched, so the AI suggestion of Software and subscriptions was used, 62% sure.
- Draft tax returns
- The 13-week cash forecast
- Unusual-spending alerts
- Your rules
Every AI feature has a non-AI fallback, so Books still works with AI switched off.
Bank feeds, receipts & bills
How do bank lines, receipts and bills get into Books?
Connect your bank or upload a statement, snap or forward receipts, and type in or upload bills. Everything lands in the review inbox for approval.
Bank feeds and statement uploads
Connect accounts through Plaid, or upload statements as CSV, OFX, QFX, QBO or PDF. Transfers between your own accounts are matched, and feed-health alerts tell you when a connection needs attention.
Receipts from anywhere
Upload them, take a photo with your phone (camera capture works offline), or forward them to your own email-in address. Books matches receipts to transactions and can chase missing ones by email or text with one-tap replies.
Bills, purchase orders and vendor credits
Type a bill in or let Books read it from the document. Purchase orders support receiving, and vendor credits apply against bills. Bills are in your home currency.
Payroll, recorded
Connect your payroll provider and Books syncs each pay run into the books. Pay runs themselves happen at the provider.
Inventory that keeps cost
FIFO costing, lots, counts, landed costs, bundles and reorder alerts.
Multi-currency
Foreign-currency accounts and invoices, exchange rates and revaluation.
On your phone, Books is an installable web app: review by swiping and capture receipts with the camera. There's no native app.
Invoicing & getting paid
How do invoicing and getting paid work in Books?
Send invoices and estimates, and let customers pay online by card or bank transfer (ACH) through Stripe. Payments are matched back to the invoice, so the books stay current.
- Invoices, and estimates customers can accept online
- Recurring invoices and payment reminders
- An online pay page for card and ACH, through Stripe
- Credit memos, refunds, customer statements and PDFs
- Sales tax rates on invoices, and foreign-currency invoices
- Draft an invoice from a sentence, then check it before it goes
Planned online payment fees: card 2.9% + $1, ACH 1% capped at $10.
Reports, reconciliation & close
What reports and month-end tools does Books include?
About 45 reports, statement-based reconciliation and a month-end close checklist, so you and your accountant can finish a month and lock it.
The reports your accountant asks for
P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and general ledger, on a cash or accrual basis. P&L by month, class or location; AR and AP aging; sales tax liability; inventory; 1099; rent roll and property P&L.
Reconcile against the statement
Start from a bank statement, tick the cleared lines and finish at zero. Books keeps a reconciliation report for every statement.
Month-end close with sign-offs
A close checklist with sign-offs, adjusting entries with review, a year-end package, and period locks so finished months stay finished.
- Scheduled report packs by email
- A 13-week cash forecast and unusual-spending alerts
- A dashboard, and “Ask your books” for plain-English questions about your numbers
Taxes
How does Books help with taxes?
Books sets money aside for estimated taxes, drafts your return for your CPA to review, and keeps 1099s in order. It doesn't file anything for you.
Quarterly estimated-tax set-asides
Federal and state set-asides each quarter, so the payment isn't a surprise.
Drafts for your CPA
Draft Schedule C, 1120-S, 1065 or Schedule E, exported for your CPA to review. Drafts are built from your books without AI. Books doesn't file returns, and doesn't draft C-corp or nonprofit returns.
1099s without the scramble
Tracking against the $600 threshold, W-9 requests, missing-TIN checks, and printing and export.
Sales tax: rates on invoices and a liability report. Books doesn't file sales tax.
For landlords
Is there a version of Books for landlords?
Yes. The landlord version of Books adds properties, units and leases to the books, with a P&L for each property and Schedule E at tax time.
- Properties, units and leases
- P&L per property, and a rent roll
- Security deposits held as liabilities, with interest, deductions and refunds
- Draft Schedule E for your CPA

Working with your accountant
How does Books work with my accountant?
Invite your accountant for free. Accountants join your business as firm users, review and approve what's in the inbox, post adjusting entries for review and sign off the close. Their access can be set to expire.
Bookkeepers and accountants who look after many businesses can use the Practice plan, which covers 10 client businesses, and a client-health list that shows which books need attention.
- Five roles
- Owner, Bookkeeper, Accountant, Client, View only
- Practice plan
- 10 businesses, then $10/mo each (planned)

Switching
Can I switch to Books from QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or FreshBooks?
Yes. Books has a guided move from QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Wave and FreshBooks, and it finishes with a trial-balance tie-out so you can see the numbers match.
- STEP 01
Bring your data
Start the guided move and pick where you're coming from: QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Wave or FreshBooks.
- STEP 02

API & MCP
Can I connect my own AI app or build on Books?
Yes. Through MCP (Model Context Protocol), you can connect your own Claude or ChatGPT to Books. Read tools let it look at your books. Write tools only propose changes, and those proposals go to the review inbox for approval like everything else. Each business turns MCP on for itself.
For developers, Books has a REST API, webhooks, API keys and a developers page.
Security
How does Books keep my books secure?
Two-step sign-in, encryption for the sensitive numbers, roles for everyone who touches the books, and your data is always yours to export.
