Your accountant uses your books to file taxes. But bookkeeping is the daily grind of matching every single credit card charge to a real receipt. Without it, you have no audit trail.
💡 If you claim business expenses, you are legally required to keep records. If you get audited, standard bank statements aren't enough. You need the receipts.
If the IRS audits your business, they can throw out your tax deductions if you don't have matching receipts. Recite automatically builds that bulletproof audit trail for you.
Small business owners lose an average of $5,000/year in unclaimed deductions simply because they lost the receipts. Keep every dollar you earn.
You don't need to know accounting, tax rules, or ledger entries. Recite does the heavy lifting: reading files, extracting data, and organizing them in Google Drive.
If any of these sound familiar, Recite was built specifically for you.
You dread sorting through endless piles of crumpled receipts.
Manual bookkeeping eats up hours of your valuable time every month.
Tax season brings you massive headaches and stress year after year.
You constantly worry if your records could survive an IRS audit.
You're overwhelmed and honestly don't know where to start with bookkeeping.
You are paying hundreds of dollars for a professional bookkeeper.

Drop your receipts or invoices in any format, or upload a folder of messy files.
Recite's AI extracts all metadata (vendor, categories, date, handwriting tip) automatically.
Recite matches expenses against bank statements to construct a legal audit trail.
Organized folders and accountant-ready CSV files are synced to your Google Drive.
Stringing together your own AI agent costs $7–$8 per reconciliation in token fees alone. Recite uses AI for extraction and deterministic code for the heavy lifting.

Powered by a battle-tested 1,200+ token financial prompt. Includes confidence scoring and math verification to prevent AI from making up numbers.

Flexible costs to meet your budget
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Bookkeeping is the systematic process of recording, organizing, and tracking all financial transactions of a business (including sales, purchases, receipts, and payments) to maintain an accurate record of income and expenses.
Proper bookkeeping is required by the IRS to claim tax deductions. Without proof of expenses, you risk losing deductions and facing penalties in an audit. It also helps you understand your true profitability.
Reconciliation is the process of matching your internal financial records (like receipts and invoices) with your bank statement to make sure every transaction is verified and accounted for.
Traditional apps like QuickBooks are often overcomplicated, expensive ($30+/mo), and require manual data entry. Recite is built specifically for solo business owners: it starts free (then just $5/mo) and automates receipt scanning and bank matching with zero setup.
