Built an OCR tool to automate Schedule E cash-basis bookkeeping – looking for beta te

Member since 2026 · 2 posts · 0 votes

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I've spent way too many weekends manually entering data from messy property tax bills and mortgage statements just to keep my Schedule E prep accurate. I was specifically frustrated by the lack of mobile-first tools that strictly enforce cash-basis accounting (relying on the actual bank "Date Cleared" rather than the printed "Due Date" to avoid crossing tax years).

I lead software engineering teams by day, so I decided to build a solution myself. I've developed a mobile-optimized ledger tool that uses AI/OCR to scan your vendor bills, automatically split deductible interest from non-deductible principal, and log everything directly into a strict cash-basis format.

I'm getting ready to launch the beta and I'm looking for a handful of experienced landlords to stress-test it with their most complex receipts. I want brutally honest feedback on the data integrity, the OCR fallback logic, and whether the 6-month trailing cash flow dashboard actually helps your daily operations.

(Note: To respect the BiggerPockets community rules, I am not posting any links here. If you are willing to test the beta for free and give me feedback, please send me a direct message )
