Accounting & BookkeepingAccounting & Financial Management3MediumSolo Operator$ implied

As a sole trader, I spend 3-4 weekends manually categorizing bank CSVs, calculating home office percentage, and crypto CGT for tax preparation, seeking a more efficient method.

Existing solutions are either expensive full-service or require manual data wrangling; no affordable tool automates the specific categorization and calculations needed for sole traders.
