Receipts in. Books out.

SIA Books is the bookkeeping engine we built for our own LLC — now opening to other small businesses. Drop a receipt, drop a bank statement, drop an inventory manifest. The books update themselves. Schedule C-ready by April.

Real product · Live in production

SIA Books has been running our own operations since 2026 — every receipt scanned, every transaction reconciled, every IRS line computed in real time. We built it because QuickBooks costs too much, charges to grow, and still leaves you typing receipts at 11 PM.

Same direct access to the founder. Same fair, fixed pricing. Same standard of craft.

Four capabilities

Everything a small business actually needs. Nothing it doesn't.

  1. 01
    Receipt OCR

    Drop a PDF. Skip the typing.

    Any receipt, any vendor — the AI reads vendor, date, amount, line items and category. Auto-files into the right month folder. Adds the row to your expense ledger. Pennies per scan.

  2. 02
    Universal bank importer

    Any bank's CSV. No setup.

    Relay, Chase, Mercury, Wise, Wells Fargo — the AI detects the column layout automatically. Vendor categorization, duplicate detection, reconciliation. Drop the export. Done.

  3. 03
    Schedule C, on demand

    Tax forms type themselves.

    One command produces a full IRS-line-mapped Schedule C from your live data. COGS, ending inventory, every operating-expense line filled in. Audit-safe proportional cost basis allocation.

  4. 04
    Decision tools

    Quarterly estimates. Live dashboards.

    Project your next 1040-ES payment from YTD profit. Watch the books from your phone. For resellers: an optional pallet ROI analyzer that tells you the maximum profitable bid before you buy.

Who it's for

Built for solo operators running real businesses.

Resellers & e-commerce

You buy wholesale inventory and sell on marketplaces or your own store. You need:

  • Cost basis tracking that holds up at audit
  • Per-lot ROI analysis before you commit
  • Schedule C ready without weekend marathons

Service & solo operators

You're a consultant, contractor, freelancer or boutique owner. You don't need an ERP — you need to stop typing receipts:

  • Automatic bank + receipt reconciliation
  • Mileage and operating-expense tracking
  • Quarterly tax estimates that aren't a surprise

Straight answers

Is my data safe?

Yes. SIA Books runs in your own environment. Your receipts, bank statements and reports never leave your machine or your private cloud. No multi-tenant shared database. No data harvesting. You can audit every line of code.

How is this different from QuickBooks?

QuickBooks charges $90+/month, forces you to use their UI, and gets more complicated each year. SIA Books is purpose-built for solo operators — flat pricing, transparent code, your data in your folder, AI that handles the boring work. Roughly the cost of three coffees per month to run.

What banks does the importer work with?

Any bank that exports CSV statements. The AI detects the column layout automatically — Relay, Chase, Mercury, Bank of America, Wise, Wells Fargo, Capital One and others. Bring any CSV, it figures out the schema.

How much does the AI cost to run?

Receipt OCR costs roughly $0.01–0.03 per receipt via the Claude API. A small business processing 50 receipts a month spends under $2/month on AI. Pricing is pay-as-you-go, billed to your own API account.

Can I export everything if I leave?

Yes — everything lives in Excel spreadsheets in your folder. There is nothing to export because nothing is locked in. You can hand the folder to any accountant and they can read it without our software.

When can I start?
