The Problem

Your accounting stack is duct tape.

QuickBooks for the books. Stripe for cards. A spreadsheet for what doesn't fit. Five logins, three reconciliation queues, and one big monthly headache. Sound familiar?

  • Unlimited companies — no extra cost
  • Enterprise dashboard: cash, AR, AP, P&L across every business
  • Intercompany invoicing — bill one company from another, mirrored automatically
  • Company-scoped users (give your accountant access to one company without exposing the others)
  • Per-company themes, logos, and tax configurations

Real Customers

Built for people who bill for a living.

We were paying $189/mo across QuickBooks, Stripe, and a payroll add-on, and it still didn't talk to itself. Trailing Paper replaced all three. Reconciliation went from a Saturday afternoon to a 90-second skim.
