Startup Bookkeeper: Free Claude Skill for Small Business Tracking
Startup Bookkeeper is a free, open-source Claude AI skill designed to help bootstrapped founders manage their business finances without paid accounting software. It addresses the common problem of disorganized bookkeeping that relies on bank statements, Slack messages, and outdated spreadsheets.
How It Works
The tool operates entirely within Claude with no external accounts or integrations required. Users can:
- Tell Claude what they paid for in plain English
- Have Claude categorize, store, and track all transactions
- Upload receipt photos - OCR handles the extraction
- Set up recurring subscriptions for automatic logging
- Ask for a dashboard or P&L statement anytime
- Get alerts when invoices are overdue or budgets are exceeded
The creator built this as an alternative to QuickBooks for businesses with around 20 transactions per month, where paid accounting software might feel unnecessary but tracking is still essential.
The project is available on GitHub at https://github.com/vpodugu/startup-bookkeeper and is completely free to use.
