Botkeeper: Automated bookkeeping with a human touch

Financial tools and a healthy financial model are incredibly important for entrepreneurs to build successful businesses. But despite having the tenacity and the will to succeed, many entrepreneurs struggle as their bookkeeping and accounting lets them down. This majorly happens due to slow or delayed reporting, and limited analytics. This causes cashflow challenges, slowed revenue growth and even for the margins to slip. In short, bookkeeping is a challenge. This is exactly where Botkeeper bails businesses out.

Founded in 2015, Botkeeper helps businesses by providing them automated bookkeeping support which is powered by a combination of skilled accountants and machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI).

How it works

A bookkeeper is important for a business. But a human bookkeeper can always make mistakes, can be subject to efficiency issues, and would be downright an expensive proposition. But with Botkeeper onboard, businesses do not have to worry about these challenges. Backed by a powerful combination of expert senior accounting professional, machine learning, and artificial learning, Botkeeper can take care of bookkeeping by pulling the data from financial and non-financial sources. It delivers reports and analytics through a dashboard that can help businesses make the right decisions.

The company was founded by a team of entrepreneurs who identified the same bookkeeping challenges that is experienced by most SMEs today. Humans are the quintessential to bookkeeping and carry out tedious, repetitive, and manual tasks which are important to the process. But many human elements like life events, need for rest, inefficiency, and human error make humans second best at bookkeeping. BotKeeper was established to address these challenges by automating bookkeeping but with a human touch.
