Bookkeeping

Founding client program · US & UK small businesses

6 months of bookkeeping. Free.

We're taking 10 founding clients. Human bookkeepers backed by an AI engineering firm — books closed by the 5th of every month, on QuickBooks Online or Xero. After your free 6 months, you keep a founding rate locked for life.

The founding deal, in plain terms

What you get

  • 6 months of full-service bookkeeping, free
  • Catch-up cleanup of your existing books, free
  • A founding rate locked for life — $50/mo off your tier, forever
  • Our standing guarantee: if we ever miss the 5th, that month is free

What we ask

  • A case study with your real numbers — anonymized if you prefer
  • An honest review once we've earned it
  • Two introductions, if and only if we've earned those too

The honest terms

  • 10 spots. When they're filled, this offer is gone.
  • From month 7 you continue on your locked founding rate — you approve the tier before it starts, and you can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice
  • No card needed to apply; billing is set up during onboarding
  • Why free? We're an established AI engineering firm entering bookkeeping. We're buying proof, and we'd rather say so than pretend otherwise.

How it works

Step 1

Book your call — it takes 2 minutes

Tell us about your business and your books in a sentence or two, then pick a real time. The call is on your calendar immediately — no waiting to hear back.

Step 2

We review your last 3 months, free

View-only access through your platform's accountant invite. You get a written list of every error we find — and both sides decide whether to go ahead.

Step 3

Your 6 free months begin

Cleanup first, then your first monthly close lands by the 5th. Same service paying clients get — because in month 7, you are one.

What lands in your inbox on the 5th

The monthly close package

Every month: a reconciled P&L, balance sheet and cash summary like this one, plus a plain-English note on anything that moved — in your inbox by the 5th business day, with your books clean in QuickBooks or Xero behind it.

The figures above are a sample. Yours arrive with your numbers, your accounts, and the same close date promise.

What every plan includes

Monthly close by the 5th

Reconciled accounts and a clean P&L, balance sheet and cash summary in your inbox by the 5th business day.

Automation-grade accuracy

We build automation for a living. Categorization runs through our own checks before a human signs off on every close.

A real person who answers

Questions answered within one business day, by the person who actually keeps your books — not a ticket queue.

Catch-up cleanups

Months behind? For founding clients the cleanup is part of the deal. After the 10 spots fill, it's quoted as a one-time fixed project — never an hourly meter.

Your rate after the free 6 months

Starter · list $299$249 / mo founding
  • Up to 100 transactions / month

Book your founding call

Two minutes, no card, and no waiting for a reply — you leave with the call on your calendar.

Describe your business and your books in a sentence or two, get a clear brief back, and pick a real time — the call is booked on the spot and the invite arrives by email.

No card. No commitment. Access to your books is view-only and revocable anytime.

Common questions

What's the catch?

There isn't a hidden one — the visible one is the trade: we keep your books free for 6 months, and you become part of our proof — a case study, a review, and introductions if we earn them. From month 7 you pay your locked founding rate, which you approve before it starts, and you can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.

What happens after the 6 free months?

You continue on your founding rate — your tier minus $50/mo, locked for as long as you stay. Before month 7 begins we confirm the tier with you based on your actual volume. No card is taken until then.

Who actually does the books?

Founding clients' books are kept by our senior bookkeeping team and reviewed personally by the founder before every close. Categorization runs through our own automated checks first; a human signs off on everything. Questions are answered within one business day, with US business hours covered.

How do we communicate?

Email by default — you'll have a direct address, not a ticket queue — with WhatsApp if you prefer it, and a review call on the Growth and Scale plans. Every close arrives with a plain-English note, and any question gets an answer within one business day.

Do I have to switch accounting software?

No. We work inside your existing QuickBooks Online or Xero account. If you have neither, we set one up for you and you own it — the subscription and the data stay in your name.

Is my financial data safe with you?

Access is view-only until you say otherwise, granted through your accounting platform's own accountant-invite system — we never ask for your login. You can revoke it in one click at any time.

What happens at tax time?

Your books arrive at your CPA clean, reconciled and on time — or we work directly with them. We keep books; we don't file returns, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Founder, NQD.ai

I come from a Baniya family — Indian merchants who kept every transaction in hand-ruled ledgers generations before software existed. Keeping honest books is the family trade; I added the engineering. NQD builds production AI systems for a living, and every founding client's books get both: a team that closes on time, and a founder who still reads the ledger himself.
