Hand over anything — as it is

How it works

From the moment a bill arrives
to the cash you'll have next quarter.

Five jobs you used to do by hand, across separate tools — now one continuous flow.

01

Capture

Upload, snap or forward. Any format works.

02

Extract

Item, quantity, unit price and tax — every line.

03

Categorise

Learned from your own past bookkeeping.

04

Reconcile

Matched to payments, duplicates flagged.

05

Forecast

Your balance, projected day by day.

Features

Like adding a meticulous bookkeeper to your team.

Every decision shows its reasoning and a confidence score. You only look at what needs attention, so review takes minutes.

Every line item. Not just the total.

Item, quantity, unit price and tax rate, structured for every line. Mixed tax rates are totalled separately, and tax registration numbers are checked.

From the founder

Too many owners spend their evenings sorting receipts. I want to give that time back — to the work they love and the people who matter.

We built KAKEI so that companies without a finance team can keep books with the same accuracy as large enterprises.
