BY SYMPLER BOOKS PRODUCT TEAMUpdated October 17, 2026 · About our approach ↗

WHY WE’RE BUILDING IT

The work behind the work should be easier.

A bank feed is useful. Knowing what to do next is better.

Sympler Books is being built around the questions owners actually face: What was that payment for? Did I record the same expense twice? What is missing before I talk to an accountant?

Our approach puts those questions beside the records, with plain-language assistance, editable categories, and notes that preserve the business context. The goal is less repetitive admin and better preparation for tax conversations.

Founder Sean Hakes brings the perspective of a small business operator to the product. Sympler Books is software in an invitation-only rollout; it is not presented as a CPA firm.

OUR PRODUCT PRINCIPLES

Simple to use. Clear about its limits.

01

Make the next step obvious

Owners should see the action that matters, without navigating an accounting textbook.

02

Keep the owner in control

AI can suggest, explain, and prepare changes. The owner should be able to understand and correct them.

03

Build trust through specifics

Explain what a feature does, show what it has checked, and identify what still needs a person’s judgment.
