Catch Up Bookkeeping Software That Shows Your Runway
Finlens connects to QuickBooks, auto-categorizes your backlog of transactions, and gives you a live dashboard of burn rate and runway.
Months Behind Is a Real Risk
Backlog Grows Every Day
Uncategorized transactions pile up month over month, making reconciliation harder and tax preparation a last-minute emergency.
No Visibility Into Runway
Without current books, you cannot answer basic questions about burn rate, cash flow, or how long your runway lasts.
Too Messy to Hand Off
Disorganized financials make it expensive and painful to bring in a CPA or fractional CFO to help clean things up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Finlens replace QuickBooks?
No. Finlens works on top of QuickBooks, not instead of it. It syncs with your existing QuickBooks account in real time so all categorizations, journal entries, and reconciliations flow directly into the books you already maintain. There is no migration, no new ledger to set up, and no disruption to your current workflow. You keep QuickBooks and Finlens handles the automation layer on top of it.
How does Finlens categorize historical transactions automatically?
Finlens uses AI trained on GL logic and historical transaction patterns to auto-categorize every transaction at first pass. When you connect your bank accounts and QuickBooks, it processes your existing transaction history and applies categories based on payee names, amounts, and past behavior. You can review and override any categorization before it posts to QuickBooks, so the final books remain fully under your control.
What if my books are several months or more behind?
Finlens is built for exactly that scenario. Once you connect your bank accounts and QuickBooks, the AI processes your full transaction backlog regardless of how far back it goes. Transactions are categorized automatically, flagged discrepancies are surfaced for your review, and your books are brought current without requiring you to manually sort through each line item.
Do I need accounting knowledge to use Finlens?
No deep accounting background is required. Finlens presents your financials in plain-language dashboards showing burn rate, runway, and cash flow rather than raw accounting jargon. The AI handles categorization automatically, and any items needing review are presented with clear context. That said, Finlens also works natively with CPAs and fractional CFOs if you want professional oversight alongside the software.
What bank accounts and financial tools does Finlens connect to?
Finlens connects to 12,000+ financial institutions through Plaid, including major banks, credit cards, Ramp, Stripe, and other financial tools. It also offers 1100+ integrations. Most founders can connect all of their accounts in a single onboarding session, which means your full transaction history is available for catch up categorization immediately.
