Tool overview
Overview
Beancount.io is an AI-powered, plain-text accounting platform designed for developers, finance teams, and power users who want full control over their financial data. Built around the Beancount double-entry syntax, it lets you manage books in simple text files while leveraging large language models (LLMs) to automate tedious bookkeeping work. Connect your transaction data, define your chart of accounts, and let the AI assist with categorization, narration, and error checking, all within a Git-native workflow. Because your ledger lives as code, Beancount.io fits naturally into modern engineering practices: version control, pull requests, reviews, and continuous integration. The platform helps you catch inconsistencies, reconcile accounts, and generate reports without locking you into a proprietary interface or file format. You stay in charge of your data structure and accounting logic, while the AI acts as a smart assistant instead of a black box. Whether you are tracking personal finances, running books for a startup, or managing complex project accounting, Beancount.io streamlines the entire process. It combines the auditability of text-based ledgers with the productivity gains of AI, enabling precise, transparent financial records that integrate seamlessly into your existing developer toolchain.
