AI accounting software packages: All-in-one solutions for startups

Zeni syncs exclusively with QuickBooks Online (QBO) Plus, a leading cloud accounting software for startups and small businesses. Unlike desktop-based versions, QBO Plus is stored entirely online, letting you manage your finances from anywhere.

In addition to standard bookkeeping features like expense tracking, invoicing, and financial statement generation, QBO Plus offers a wide range of additional features that can support increased financial complexity as your business grows.

For example, some of the most notable include:

• Budgeting and cash flow planning
• Time tracking and project management
• Multi-currency support and custom financial reports
• Inventory management and documentation
• Project profitability and job costing

QBO Plus also includes five user seats, plus access for your accountants. Subscriptions currently start at $115 per month, though your final pricing may vary if you add on any accounting functions. 

In addition, QuickBooks often runs promotions that provide steep one-time discounts, such as 90% off for the first three months.

If you don’t have QBO Plus, don’t worry. When you sign up for Zeni, we’ll guide you step by step through the process of migrating from your current software over to QBO Plus, no matter where you were doing your bookkeeping before.

For example, if you’re moving from Xero accounting software to QuickBooks, we’ll help you export your financial data for free using Dataswitcher, including your opening balances, accounts receivable, general ledger, and financial transactions.

We can also help you transfer over the information that won’t get converted automatically, such as your budgets, invoice templates, payroll information, and customized entries in the chart of accounts.

If you’ve fallen behind on your bookkeeping and have financial records that are too messy to transfer easily, our financial experts can provide catch-up bookkeeping services to get them back in good shape before making the transition.

However, be aware that this process takes time, especially if the cleanup work goes back multiple years. Depending on the complexity, a full migration could take several weeks to complete.

Zeni currently supports most types of business entities, including C corporations, S corporations, and limited liability companies (LLCs). However, we generally don’t work with sole proprietorships or partnerships.

Beyond legal structures, Zeni supports businesses across a wide range of industries, including SaaS, ecommerce, manufacturing, and more. Whatever your business model is, our platform is equipped to handle your unique accounting needs.

We also have a proven track record of helping clients at every stage of growth. Zeni has partnered with everything from seed-stage startups bootstrapping their first funding rounds to Series C giants managing multi-entity operations.

When you team up with Zeni, you get an accounting partner you can rely on to grow with you, no matter how big you scale.

Zeni’s business accounting software is powered by AI, giving it features that go far beyond legacy systems. It doesn’t just categorize transactions. It uses machine learning to study your data, recognize recurring patterns, and get more accurate over time.

In addition to providing up-to-the-minute financial statements, Zeni also presents actionable insights, including key financial metrics like net burn and notable financial trends, like growth in top-line revenue.

Zeni also leverages the power of AI to enhance and streamline many other day-to-day accounting tasks, such as automated receipt capture, instant GAAP compliance audits, and the automatic merging of duplicate vendors.

But Zeni isn’t just the best accounting software. It’s a comprehensive financial management platform with a full suite of other features, such as:

• AI bill payment: Streamline vendor payments with automated approval workflows, AI vendor recommendations, and free ACH transfers.
• AI reimbursements: Speed up employee reimbursements with automatic receipt capture, real-time status tracking, and same-day payouts.
• AI business checking: Open checking accounts that earn far more interest than traditional bank accounts and carry 10x more FDIC protection.
• AI business credit cards: Manage spend with a credit card that earns 1.75% cash back on all purchases with absolutely zero fees.

Access all of our features from a single integrated dashboard that provides real-time visibility into your finances—without having to jump between apps or juggle solutions.
