About ClaryBook

The problem

Most small business owners, landlords, and freelancers hate bookkeeping. They stuff receipts in shoeboxes, forget to log mileage, and scramble at tax time. The tools that exist, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave, were designed for accountants, not for people who'd rather never think about bookkeeping at all.

Our approach

ClaryBook meets you where you already are: your phone. Instead of learning accounting software, you snap a photo of your receipt and Clary files the vendor, amount, date, and category for you. Your mileage? Text your trip. Hours? Text them too.

When tax time comes, your books are already done. Your CPA gets clean Schedule E reports, mileage logs, and categorized expenses, without you ever opening a spreadsheet.

What we believe

• Invisible is better The best bookkeeping tool is one you don't think about. If you're spending time "using" your bookkeeping software, it's too complicated.
• Automation should save time, not create work Auto-categorization should be right 95% of the time. When it's wrong, correcting it should take one message.
• Your data is yours Export everything as CSV or PDF at any time. No lock-in, no data hostage situations.
• Simple pricing, no games One plan, $30/month, everything included. No feature gates, no enterprise upsells.

Built by

ClaryBook is built by Vincent van 't Verlaat, a software engineer and rental property owner who got tired of his own bookkeeping mess. What started as a personal side project grew into a full bookkeeping platform serving small business owners across the US and Netherlands.
