The Problem & Solution

Why Contractors Choose Booksmaster

We understand the pain of bookkeeping. Here's what we solve.

❌ Tedious Receipt Entry

Manual receipt entry takes 10 minutes per receipt. Traditional OCR doesn't intelligently read receipts, forcing you to re-type nearly everything.

✅ AI Vision That Actually Works

Gemini Vision API reads damaged, faded, and crumpled receipts with 6x better accuracy than traditional OCR (93% vs 14% field accuracy). Plus it's 5x faster—process entire stacks in minutes, not hours.

❌ AI That Never Learns

Other software makes the same mistakes repeatedly. You correct "Home Depot" to "Materials" a hundred times—it still doesn't remember.

✅ Self-Improving Intelligence

Our AI learns from every correction. After 50 interactions, expect 90%+ categorization accuracy. Truly personal AI.

❌ Income Double-Counting

Recording the same income twice (check + deposit) is the #1 IRS audit trigger. No competitor addresses this problem.

✅ Smart Duplicate Detection

AI automatically detects when a check matches a deposit. One-click linking prevents double-counting. Industry-first feature.

❌ Too Expensive & Complex

QuickBooks starts at $360/year. Designed for accounting teams, not independent contractors who especially need better receipt tracking.

✅ Simple & Affordable

Just $70—under the $75 expense threshold. Contractor-focused UI means you're productive in minutes.

Built by Perpetual Entrepreneurs

Why We Built This

I've started about 50 ventures over 20 years. Most failed. A few had minor success. One (this one) might actually stick.

Through all of them—author, solar sales, AI consulting, graphic t-shirts, YouTube short films, social media—one thing never changed: the receipts kept piling up.

In 2012, I ran an eBay sporting goods business with 400-500 receipts and more than 100 additional documents to track (including invoices and manifests). QuickBooks wanted me to take a college course to use their software. Their OCR couldn't read so much as a scale ticket. So I built my own spreadsheets and spent 30-40 hours manually sorting receipts every tax season.

Fast forward to 2026: A contractor friend asked me to help with his books. AI vision models were finally good enough to build something better than legacy OCR.

So I did.

Booksmaster uses Gemini AI—actual intelligence, not pattern matching. It's 6x more accurate and 5x faster than traditional OCR. No feature bloat. No growth assumptions. Just receipt tracking that actually works.

Because I know what it's like to be on business idea #3 with a shoebox of receipts and tax season looming. I built this for perpetual entrepreneurs who cycle through 3-5 ventures before finding sustained success—not because I want them to fail, but because pivoting is part of the process.

"I needed this 10 years ago. Now it exists."
