This is oddly relevant to me as someone who has HN bookmarked and is also pursuing a Master of Accounting so that I can sit for the CPA exam this year.
I'm mildly annoyed that I'm met with a "Book a Call" CTA when I click the Accountants tab, but I get it.
I think the feedback re: Excel preeminence/stickiness and outsourced workflows is pretty indicative. Similarly, I, too, am curious about the long-term commitment you're willing to make, considering the prior pivots.
That said, this looks clean, and I plan to check it out. I'm doing some work with a fractional CFO firm and I'll recommend they explore as well. Working within a built-in spreadsheet could very well provide the right level of flexibility -- especially if I can access them via the API for downstream manipulation (I haven't looked at the docs yet).
Really appreciate this, and thanks for checking us out! Fair point on the ‘Book a Call’ CTA, we've got a demo environment setup to explore so might be better to switch the accountant CTA over to that.
On Excel’s dominance, we hear that loud and clear. We’re not trying to fight it, but we do think a built-in spreadsheet unlocks some powerful automation and AI-driven workflows that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. And yes, accessing sheets via the API is possible!
On the long-term commitment, good question. We did pivot in the past, but this is the problem we’re committed to solving. SMB accounting is broken, and we’re in it for the long haul.
