Botkeeper

AI bookkeeping software for accounting firms, now owned by Xendoo after Botkeeper closed in 2026; priced per client entity on QuickBooks Online or Xero.

Our take: The software side is mature: coding with confidence scores, bank recs, close tracking and firm-wide views, at a per-client price that drops quickly with volume.

Botkeeper closed; Xendoo now owns Botkeeper Infinite

Botkeeper CEO Enrico Palmerino announced the closure of the company in a statement posted on 7 February 2026, citing industry consolidation in late 2025 that hit its largest clients and revenue.

Later in February 2026, Xendoo announced it had acquired Infinite, the core technology Botkeeper built for accounting practices. Xendoo says current access to Infinite remains active and supported, and botkeeper.com still sells the platform.

The bottom line

Worth a look for QBO or Xero firms with many clients, on monthly terms until the new owner's plans are clear.

What it really isAn AI bookkeeping layer that accounting firms run on clients' QuickBooks Online or Xero books, now owned by Xendoo.
Our takeThe software side is mature: coding with confidence scores, bank recs, close tracking and firm-wide views, at a per-client price that drops quickly with volume.
The risk is the business behind it. Start on monthly billing, ask Xendoo about roadmap and support terms, and keep an exit plan for your client files.
Why we rate itIt covers the repetitive firm workflow end to end and publishes its prices, which many firm tools do not.
The catchThe original company closed in February 2026; the platform's future depends on Xendoo.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Self-serve sign-up; connecting each client's ledger and bank feeds and training rules takes days to weeks per client.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-license cost falls at 5, 10 and 25 clients, so small firms pay the most per client.
  3. Walled garden
    Low to medium: the books stay in QuickBooks Online or Xero; workflow history lives in Botkeeper.
