Kick
Self-driving bookkeeping for US founders and the firms that work with them.

Overview
Kick is the only bookkeeping platform that lets a founder with multiple LLCs manage all of them under one subscription, auto-categorizing transactions, identifying tax deductions, and producing P&L and balance-sheet reports without the bookkeeper writing rules first. Marketing copy calls it 'self-driving bookkeeping' but the practical positioning is closer to a QuickBooks Online replacement for digital-first founders running on Stripe, Ramp, Mercury, and Gusto.
The structural differentiator from QBO and Xero is multi-entity in one workspace at one subscription. A founder running an operating LLC, a holdco, and a couple of SPVs sees all entities and inter-company transfers in a single view, billed once. The Plus plan covers up to five entities for $100 per month. The Advanced plan removes the cap entirely.
Pricing starts free. The Free plan is capped at 250 transactions per year and a single entity, which is enough for a side-project or a very early-stage LLC. Basic is $40 per month (billed annually) and lifts the transaction cap. Plus at $100 per month adds the balance sheet, custom chart of accounts, multi-entity support, and classes. The sales-led Advanced plan is custom-priced and adds onboarding, dedicated support, annual close, partner services, and tax filing.
Integrations are a focused US payments-stack list rather than a long tail. Plaid covers most US banks, Stripe and PayPal cover payment processors, Ramp covers spend cards, and Gusto covers payroll on Basic and above. Mercury (US-startup bank) gets a direct integration that reviewers call out. There is no Xero or Sage migration tooling, no NetSuite path, and accrual support is shallow.
Funding tells you how seriously to take this. The October 2024 seed was $9M, co-led by General Catalyst and the OpenAI Startup Fund, with Lachy Groom, Scott Belsky, and Joshua Browder among the angels. The 2025 Series A, co-led by Felicis and Google Ventures, lifted the total raised to $20M. Founder Conrad Wadowski previously co-founded Teachable, sold to Hotmart for around $250M.
Geography is a hard limit. Kick is US-only at every layer (bank feeds, payroll, tax-deduction logic, payment rails). UK, EU, AU, and Canadian firms cannot use it for client books. The Accountant Partner Program is application-only, with discounted pricing, free firm books, a dedicated success rep, free client migrations handled by Kick's accountant team, and qualified-lead referrals after a firm onboards two clients.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Solo bookkeepers serving US founder-clients with multiple LLCs or holding companies in one workspace.
- Small US CAS firms standardizing client books off QuickBooks for cash-basis tech-forward SMBs.
- US founders managing their own books on Stripe, Ramp, and Gusto pre-scale onto Xero or NetSuite.
Cons
- Firms with UK, EU, AU, or Canadian clients. Kick is US-only at every layer.
- Inventory or accrual-heavy clients. Cash-basis is the practical default and accrual depth is shallow.
- Mid-size practices with diverse client stacks. Integrations are narrow beyond Stripe, Ramp, and Gusto.
