Hey HN,

I built Billpal because every tool I tried wanted to turn me into an accountant.

I'm self-employed, I don't need much – no P&L, no balance sheet. Happy to pay a CPA for this and to file my taxes.

But I also didn't want to do bookkeeping myself either. It's a stupid task.

Was genuinely surprised how little automation these accounting tools have. Even when I upload a receipt, I still have to type most of the fields by hand.

So I built my own thing: grab invoices from my inbox, parse them, and match each one to the right bank transaction automatically.

Now all I do is export a CSV and send it to my tax advisor.

Curious what you think. And happy to get into the weeds on the matching logic.
