Kicking off the Jason On Firms Live tour in Austin 🤠 The team at Kick are big Jason Staats, CPA fans so when we heard he was doing an event today with 80 forward thinking firms, we had to come out. If you’re in Austin, Conrad and I are hanging out throughout the day. We’re here to chat with firms interested in the shift to AI-native accounting software. PS. Great to be supporting the Austin leg, alongside Ted from MakersHub.

Kick just raised more to build the accounting firm of the future. 12 months ago, Kick launched as "accounting software that does the work for you." Today, over 3,000 businesses (including Jason Feifer, Chris Hutchins, Marina Mogilko and Shaan Puri) trust us with their books. But here's what gets me even more excited: - 1 Bookkeeper at Kick can now manage 311 businesses. - This is 10x the industry standard of 1:30. - What used to require an entire team now takes one person's time. How we did it: - Built our own fast, accounting ledger - Automated categorization, document import and reconciliation workflows - Integrated directly with Stripe, Gusto, Ramp, PayPal and 12k banks via Plaid - Focused on annual close vs. monthly, with firm partners for specialized needs The result? Bookkeeping at half the price, with higher margins. Why this matters for firms: - Traditional firms typically have 20-30% margins and are valued at 1x revenue. - AI-native firms are hitting 40-60% margins and commanding 3x revenue multiples. - The firms embracing AI across their stack aren't just surviving, they're thriving. The shift I'm seeing: → Domain expertise is becoming more valuable as AI handles routine work → Owning the full client relationship unlocks cross-sell opportunities and leverage to improve your margins → Your team evolves from preparers to reviewers → Brand matters more as you move upmarket into advisory To enable more firms to make the shift, today we're announcing our first Launch Week: 1. We'll be releasing a new feature every day, beginning with Reconciliation. 2. We're launching our Accountant AI Program made for Bookkeeping, Accounting and Advisory firm owners. We're going to be accepting 5 new firms every week from our 1,000 firm waitlist. Benefits include free training and migrations, Slack access, free bookkeeping, custom pricing, and client referrals. Huge thanks to Echo Zhong, CPA Anthony Sanchez, CPA (Zhong & Sanchez), Stephen Pennington (NFS), Scott Hoover (Hoover Financial), Eoin Coney Andrew Weinhardt (Blubooks), Tapan R. (Otterz) and Ron Saharyan Billie Anne Grigg (Profit First Professionals) and more who have turned to Kick to scale their firms. Also thanks to Felicis and GV (Google Ventures) for leading this round and taking us up to $20M raised, as well as General Catalyst and OpenAI Startup Fund for their continued support. The future of accounting is here. It just isn't evenly distributed yet. If you’re ready to modernize, comment ‘Ready’ and I'll DM you a code to get Kick for 3 months free for you or your clients.

One thing we've learned building Kick: businesses need answers on their schedule, not ours. That's why today we're launching our Help Center.
