What users say

Loved by owners, trusted by accountants.

★★★★★

"I kept receipts in a box and did the rest in Excel, and every year something was missing. Now I text a photo from the van and it's handled. I've asked for a couple of changes and they were in the app within weeks. Feels like it's being built with me."

Mo · HVAC business owner
★★★★★

"I have brand deals plus two rentals and my admin was honestly a disaster. Three apps and a notes file. Been snapping receipts on the go since last fall, and when my accountant asked for the rental numbers in January I just... had them? Still feels weird."

Christianne · creator and short-term rental ownerPRJCTworld
★★★★★

"I drive to viewings all week and I'm terrible with receipts. Half of them used to die in my coat pockets, which means the deductions died too. Now I text them when I park and everything is there at quarter end. First time I actually knew what to set aside."

Chris · real estate broker
Savills
★★★★★

"I'm the accountant on the other side of ClaryBook: I put my own clients on it so their books come to me clean, and I tell the team what a practice needs. Suggestions ship fast. It works like a partnership, for me and for my clients."

Common questions

Everything you need to know about getting started with ClaryBook.

Do I need to install an app?
ClaryBook is best on the mobile app, free on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android, and that's where the camera and the Face ID lock live. If you'd rather not install anything, you can use ClaryBook in any browser at app.clarybook.com. They all stay in sync.
What happens after the free trial?
After 30 days, ClaryBook is $30/month. No contracts, cancel anytime. Your data is always yours. During your trial and subscription you can download your reports as CSV or PDF, and you can export all of your data, receipts included, from Settings in the iPhone or Android app at any time, even after you cancel.
Is my financial data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Your business data is logically isolated from other users at every layer. We don't sell, share, or analyze your financial data for any purpose other than providing the service. Bank connections are powered by Plaid, you sign in on your bank's own page via Plaid, so your bank login is never seen or stored by ClaryBook, and you can disconnect a bank at any time. How bank connections work
Can my CPA access my books?
Two ways. (1) Export PDF reports (Schedule C and Schedule E worksheets, P&L, mileage log) or CSV data and email them directly to your CPA. (2) Invite your CPA as a team member with read-only `viewer` access, they get the full dashboard, every export, every receipt, and the audit trail. You stay the owner and can remove them any time.
What types of businesses does ClaryBook support?
ClaryBook is built for sole proprietors, freelancers, consultants, rental property owners, and small business owners. It supports US (IRS Schedule E, 1099) and Dutch (BTW, KvK) tax systems. If you have receipts and need organized books, ClaryBook handles it.
How does receipt scanning work?
Snap a photo or share a PDF from your email, works in the iPhone app, the Android app, or the web portal. Clary fills in the vendor, amount, date, and category for you. If you have active projects or properties, Clary asks which one it belongs to. You can correct anything with a quick reply. The original image or PDF is stored permanently as documentation.
