## About

Kashoo is a Vancouver, Canada-based accounting software company targeting freelancers, sole proprietors, and very small businesses. Founded in 2008, Kashoo offers double-entry bookkeeping with a simplified interface aimed at non-accountants. The platform covers invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting. In 2021, Kashoo launched a new tier called TrulySmall Invoices (renamed from Kashoo Simple) and repositioned its product lineup. TrulySmall Accounting is the core full double-entry bookkeeping product. Kashoo competes with Wave (free), FreshBooks (invoicing-focused), and QuickBooks Simple Start at the low end of the accounting software market.
