About Us

Our mission is to make Finance & Accounting effortless, intelligent, and accessible for everyone, everywhere.

Back in the day, while working on large batch-driven financial systems, we read the first publications about natural language processing and machine learning. From then on we envisioned a totally different way how finance should be done — a reality where machines would do all the work instead of people obeying compliance-rigid systems.

We started Bkper, building towards a consistent bookkeeping platform that is the single source of truth for true accounting intelligence — where reporting happens in real-time, not through monthly batch runs, and where AI doesn't just categorize expenses but can actually understand your context.

Now, with hundreds of customers around the globe and bots recording millions of transactions, our vision is proving out.

Our Principles

User-Centric Focus

Every decision starts with the user. We design solutions that truly help people manage their finances, letting real feedback guide what we build next.

Simplicity & Essentialism

Do less, but better. Every feature must earn its place. We remove complexity before adding new capabilities, because simple solutions scale better, cost less, and delight users more.

Technology-First

Technology should do the work, not people. We build intelligent systems that understand business context, provide real-time insights, and pursue transformative solutions over incremental gains.

Global by Default

Built for users in any country from day one. We handle multiple currencies, units of measure, and cultural contexts as first-class concerns — providing the framework, not the compliance burden.

These principles, along with our operational values and decision framework, guide every choice we make — from product to code. Read our soul.md
