Digits

Digits is an AI-driven accounting platform built and priced for small businesses and the accounting firms that serve them. Traditional small business accounting software requires significant manual effort to categorise transactions, reconcile accounts and produce reports, and many business owners find that their books are months out of date by the time they are reviewed. Digits was founded by former technology executives with the aim of rethinking this experience. Its core approach is to use machine learning trained on large volumes of financial data to automate bookkeeping tasks, keeping the books current and producing reports almost instantly. Rather than presenting accounting as a series of forms and ledgers, Digits emphasises clean, interactive dashboards that show business performance in real time, making financial information more accessible to founders who are not accountants.

Key features include automated transaction categorisation, real-time general ledger, bank and credit card connections, reconciliation tools, invoicing and bill payment capabilities, and fast financial statements including profit and loss, balance sheet and cash-flow reports. Customisable dashboards display metrics such as burn rate, runway, revenue trends and vendor spending, and users can drill into any figure to see underlying transactions. Collaboration features allow business owners and accountants to comment on transactions and resolve questions within the platform, reducing email exchanges. Digits integrates with widely used financial services and business tools, including payment processors, payroll providers and banking platforms, and it offers migration support for businesses moving from other accounting systems. The service is delivered in the cloud with web and mobile access. Digits is aimed at startups, small businesses, professional services firms and bookkeeping and accounting practices, particularly in the United States, that want lean, automated books and faster insight. Pricing starts from around USD 65 per month with a free trial available; there is no permanently free version.
