Ledgerly Launches AI Bookkeeping Assistant That Closes Small-Business Books in Under 10 Minutes a Month

New tool sorts transactions automatically and flags tax-deductible expenses for U.S. freelancers and microbusinesses

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 12, 2026 – Ledgerly, an Austin-based financial software company, today launched Ledgerly Assist, an AI bookkeeping assistant that connects to business bank accounts and categorizes transactions automatically. In beta testing with 1,200 freelancers, users cut their monthly bookkeeping time from an average of 4.5 hours to 9 minutes.

Ledgerly Assist reads each transaction, assigns an IRS Schedule C category, and flags likely deductions like home-office costs and software subscriptions. Users can approve or correct each suggestion with one tap, and the assistant learns from every correction.

"Freelancers didn't start a business to do data entry," said Maria Chen, co-founder and CEO of Ledgerly. "Ledgerly Assist gives them back an afternoon every month and helps them stop leaving deductions on the table at tax time."

Key features include:

  • Automatic categorization for more than 11,000 U.S. banks and credit unions
  • Quarterly estimated-tax reminders based on actual income
  • One-click export to TurboTax and to accountant-ready CSV files

    • Ledgerly Assist is available now at ledgerly.example for $12 per month, with a 30-day free trial.
