What AI-driven bookkeeping/accounting software tools are other firms using as alternatives or overlays to QuickBooks?

37:14From the June 2 call · Real Estate Bookkeeping Tools, Local Claude Setups, and AI Compliance Networks

Someone asked for a read on what other accounting firms are using and where AI adoption within software is heading, noting frustration that QuickBooks keeps releasing patches claiming to be more AI-centric but tends to clutter existing rules rather than help. In response, several tools were discussed: Double (formerly Keeper) was highlighted as doing a good job adding AI tools - for example, you can upload a mortgage statement PDF and it will automatically create the journal entry in QuickBooks, knowing what to pull. It reportedly has a bank feed feature that can categorize transactions more intelligently than QuickBooks' own AI, to the point where you barely need to go into QuickBooks directly. The founder of Double was described as a former tech startup CEO who built the tool after finding QuickBooks bookkeeping frustrating and full of gaps. Digits was mentioned as a competitor. Puzzle was also mentioned as another tool people had heard was great, though not personally reviewed by the speakers. The general sentiment was that these newer tools present data more usefully (e.g., leading with the balance sheet or P&L) compared to QuickBooks, which was described as too busy and focused on transaction-level detail rather than surfacing the end result.
