Since 2023, QuickBooks Plus went from $90 to $140 a month.

Every business you own pays it again.

FreshBooks charges by the client. Wave moved bank feeds behind a paywall.

So we built the opposite.

Straight answers.

What is Finch?

Finch is free accounting software for small businesses and for people who run more than one business. It includes invoicing, card and bank payments, bank sync, double-entry books with 21 reports, and Finch AI, a bookkeeper that proposes changes you confirm and can undo. Superpower AI makes the AI unlimited for $49 a month.

Is Finch really free?

Yes. Invoicing, estimates, card and bank payments, bills, double-entry books, 21 reports and unlimited businesses cost $0 a month. You pay per payment you collect (2.9% + 30¢ by card, 0.8%, never more than $5 by bank transfer) and, if you connect banks, $1.50 a month or $15 a year to SimpleFIN, the service that syncs them.

What does Superpower AI add?

Unlimited Finch AI for $49 a month, plus $29 for each additional business. It categorizes transactions, reads receipts, matches payouts, reconciles accounts and closes the month in chat. Card payments drop to 2.7% + 30¢. The Free plan includes 100 AI actions to try it.

Does the AI change my books on its own?

Not unless you let it. Every change is a proposal you confirm, and every applied change can be undone. Autopilot stays off until an admin turns it on, and even then it only files high-confidence items under a limit you set. Finch AI only uses model providers that don't collect your data.

Can Finch replace QuickBooks?

For most small businesses, yes. Invoices, estimates, payments, bills, bank feeds, reconciliation, profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow and sales tax reports are all included. You can start with opening balances and up to 24 months of bank history. Finch doesn't run payroll or track time yet.

How do bank connections work?

Finch connects through SimpleFIN Bridge. You pay SimpleFIN directly ($1.50 a month or $15 a year), and one connection can feed every business you own. Finch pulls up to 24 months of history and keeps syncing every 6 hours. Bank access is stored encrypted with AES-256.

Can I run more than one business?

Yes, as many as you like, plus your Personal finances, under one login, free. When one business pays a bill for another, Finch books both sides and keeps a who-owes-whom report.

What does it cost to get paid?

Cards cost 2.9% + 30¢ on Free and 2.7% + 30¢ on Superpower AI. Bank transfers cost 0.8%, never more than $5. There are no monthly fees, no setup fees and no fee to send an invoice.
