Founders avoid reviewing their books because accounting software forces tedious manual reconciliation, especially for Stripe transaction data.

Existing accounting software like QuickBooks lacks native integration with Stripe's complex payout structure (net amounts, timing, buried fees), forcing non-accountant founders to spend hours manually fixing duplicates, mismatches, and miscategorizations.
