Your payments, your bank, and your books disagree. Recouped finds out by how much.
The platform tie-out your accountant does once a year, at tax time. Prepared every month, ready to sign. Start with a free check on one month of data.
I run a software business.
Stripe, Paddle or Lemon Squeezy. Stripe says one thing, your books say another. Start with a free check on one month.
For software founders HardwareI make a physical product.
Kickstarter, a pledge manager, a store, a factory deposit. All of it booked as sales last month. Start with the campaign close.
For makersEvery month, three numbers drift. They get tied once a year, in January.
- Stripe paid out
- $48,013.48
- Bank received
- $46,988.31
- Books recorded
- $52,418.90
The bank rec still ties, one payout in transit. Stripe gets tied to the books at year end, twelve months at once.
- Refunds (7) not synced−$2,204.00
- Stripe fees never booked−$1,571.42
- Dispute lost, not booked−$630.00
- Books overstated by
- A January cleanup, at your accountant’s rate
Twelve months of fees, refunds and disputes posted in one sitting, with the 1099-K open beside the books. It reports gross; the books have to explain the rest.
- Tax on profit you never made
$4,405.42 overstated in one month is $52,865 across a year. Revenue high, expenses low, and if January misses it, the return gets filed on it.
- A diligence finding, later
A buyer’s accountant ties the books to the platform. Whatever January skipped becomes a re-price or a quarter of rework.
Recouped ties all three, every month. Whatever won’t tie is listed.
Start with a free check on one month of your own data. Keep going with a month your accountant signs. Deterministic the whole way. No model guesses at money.
The free check
Find out what’s missing from your books before you pay for anything.
Send one month of exports from your platform, your bank, and your ledger. Within a week you get the month tied, every exception with the correction it needs, and what it’s worth. Raw files are purged within days; the report is kept unless you ask us to delete it.
The same artifact as the close, unsigned. Delivered within a week. Raw files purged within days.
The signed close
Every month prepared so your accountant can sign it in about an hour.
Every payout tied to its charges, fees, refunds, and disputes. Every exception with the correction it needs. The books tied to the platform, not just to the bank.
The year-end tie-out, done twelve times instead of once. From $300 a month.
The rule
Money logic is deterministic. AI reads and explains; it never adds, matches, or decides.
A tiered rules engine matches every line and logs the rule it used. The same inputs give the same answer, and the rule log lets your accountant check every line.
99.7% of lines match on the first pass. The rest is the product.
Priced on complexity, not per transaction.
Start with the check. Nothing else begins until it has shown you a month of your own data, tied. After that it is a flat fee, keyed to how many payouts and sources you have, never per transaction. What it replaces is the January tie-out, billed by the hour, and the rework a buyer’s accountant finds later.
Free check
One month of your own data, tied line by line. The same artifact as the close, unsigned.
- The month tied, every match with its rule
- Every exception with the correction it needs
- What it is worth, and a 30-minute readout
- Delivered within a week
Signed close
The year-end tie-out, done every month. Your accountant signs.

- Each additional entity +$150 a month
- A management control, not an audit opinion
Fix at the source
When the close keeps finding the same thing, the posting rule gets corrected once.
- A fee, refund, payout or dispute rule in your sync tool or ledger
- The change written down before it is made
- Shown correct in the next close, or it is not done
- A new platform or entity set up is one rule
Exit-ready pack
The books a buyer’s accountant will tie out.
- $4,000 for 24 months, or multi-source
- Every payout tied, every exception explained
- Credited against a close if the sale hasn’t closed in six months
Custom. When a check finds a structural problem, not a break: entitlement logic, sync rules, anything the ledger can’t fix. Quoted as a fixed scope and built by Digital Sprint, the studio behind Recouped, while the close keeps running. Digital Sprint
Bookkeeper or CPA?
The platform tie-out for your Stripe-heavy clients, prepared every month with the rule log, so January is a review instead of a rebuild. Three or more clients buy wholesale at 30% off list, under your name. One client: they get the free check, and if it becomes a close you take 20% for twelve months.
Questions
Keep them. Your bookkeeper reconciles the bank, and it ties, because every deposit matches a payout line. Recouped ties the platform to the bank and to the books, line by line, and hands your bookkeeper the exceptions. They review and sign.
It moves the data. Whether it posted the fee, the refund, and the dispute is what your accountant checks in January, against the 1099-K. The free check does it now, on one month of your own data.
One month with a ten-day tail on each side contains both month-end boundaries, which is where timing breaks show. What more months add is recurrence and a run rate. The signed close gives you that from the first month on, and the exit-ready pack does it retrospectively.
No. The signed close is a management control, like a reviewed bank reconciliation. Recouped prepares it; the person with authority over the books signs it. No attestation, no assurance.
For the free check, the raw files you send are purged within days. The report is kept, so the check can become month one of a close, unless you ask us to delete it. The signed close keeps each month’s artifact and workpapers, encrypted and access-controlled, for as long as you’re a client, then exports them to you.
