Why we fired our accountants (and built software instead)

The founding story of Simso. How two engineers got tired of waiting for reports and decided to automate the entire process.

The Breaking Point

It was a rainy Tuesday in November. We had been waiting for our monthly P&L statement for 12 days. Our accountant was 'busy'. This wasn't the first time.

As engineers, we looked at the problem differently. Accounting isn't magic; it's data processing. It's categorization, calculation, and reconciliation.

Building the Engine

We decided to build a tool that would automate the 90% of accounting that is repetitive. We called it Simso. It connects directly to your bank account, reads your receipts using AI, and matches them automatically.

The Result

Today, we spend less than 15 minutes a month on accounting. We have real-time visibility into our finances, and we never miss a tax deadline. That is the power of autonomous accounting.
