Our story

Made by an accountant. Not a committee.

🧹Clean Books is the new accounting app from Nerd Enterprises, Inc. — a founder-led company in Burbank, California, started in 2003 and led by Seth David, a 30-year accountant who has spent his entire career inside the software the rest of the industry settles for.

He started college as a computer science major, left for Wall Street, then came back for an accounting degree in 1996. Building an accounting app closes a loop that opened forty years ago.

Existing tools were built decades ago, then patched with AI like an afterthought. đź§ąClean Books is the opposite: AI-born, true AI-native, and shaped from day one by someone who actually knows what bookkeepers need at the end of a long month-end.

No bloat. No 47-step wizards. No interface that looks like it was designed for an enterprise procurement deck. Just clean books — fast, calm, and finally on your side.

Why it’s different

Designed by someone who does the work.

True AI-native

Built around AI from the ground up — not a chat panel grafted onto a 2005 ledger. A product where AI can actually DO things for you: add a product and its linked accounts in a single prompt, analyze a CSV and suggest coding, copy and paste journal entries from a spreadsheet, and create and apply bank feed rules in plain English.

Meet The Sweeper đź§ą

The assistant living inside 🧹Clean Books. It reads a PDF bank statement, matches it against your live bank feed, and auto-completes the reconciliation — then explains what it did in plain English so you can check its work.

Built for the work

Every screen designed by a 30-year accountant who remembers when keyboard shortcuts were fast. 🧹Clean Books brings back legacy shortcuts you used to love — single keys, real muscle memory, no chord salad.

Clean by default

Easy bulk editing with guardrails in place so you don't break a reconciliation. In fact, you can't change a reconciled transaction unless you undo the entire reconciliation first. THIS is the kind of thing that keeps the books clean.

Priced for many entities

If you run a stack of LLCs, a holding company, or a book of clients, you already know what per-seat pricing does to you. 🧹Clean Books prices by plan, not by how organized you are — so adding another entity doesn't feel like a penalty.

Quietly serious

Audit-friendly history, role-based access, and the kind of data discipline a real accountant insists on. No surprises at year-end.

You set the rules. The Sweeper does the typing.

Ask in plain English and The Sweeper builds the invoice, the bill, the payment, the deposit, or the journal entry — and always shows you what it’s about to post before it posts it.

FAQ

The short answers.

What is đź§ąClean Books?
🧹Clean Books is a true AI-native accounting application from Nerd Enterprises, Inc. — designed by a 30-year accountant for the people who actually do the books.
What does “AI-born” mean?
Most accounting apps were built decades ago and had AI bolted on later. 🧹Clean Books was designed from the first wireframe around modern AI — categorization, reconciliation, anomaly detection and review live in the core, not in a sidebar.
What is The Sweeper đź§ą?
The Sweeper is the AI assistant built into 🧹Clean Books. It handles the tedious parts — reading a PDF bank statement, matching it against your live bank feed, completing the reconciliation, and turning plain-English instructions into bank feed rules.
What does đź§ąClean Books cost?
Three plans: Clean at $97/month, Cleaner at $237/month, and Cleanest at $497/month. Pricing is by plan rather than per seat, which is why it works well if you run several entities. Cancel anytime; no refunds on current or past months.
Who is it for?
Accountants, bookkeepers, and small-business owners who want their accounting software to feel calm, fast, and finally on their side. The pricing model also makes it a natural fit for anyone running multiple entities — real estate investors with a stack of LLCs, holding companies, or family offices — where per-seat pricing on legacy tools punishes you for being organized.
Is đź§ąClean Books live?
đź§ąClean Books launched June 1, 2026. Within the first two months, 77 companies are already keeping their books clean with it.
Who builds it?
🧹Clean Books is the new accounting product from Nerd Enterprises, Inc., led by Seth — a 30-year accountant who got tired of waiting for software the industry deserved.
