What is BookSaiDSo?

BookSaiDSo is a deliberately simplified pre-accounting system positioned between full accounting software and handing a bag of receipts to your accountant at year-end. It doesn't replace accountants or pretend to be Xero — it organizes messy daily records into clean data accountants love, reducing annual bookkeeping fees. Users need zero accounting knowledge (no Debit/Credit); just upload receipt photos (up to 100 at once) or import credit card CSV statements, and AI auto-extracts amounts, merchants, dates, and categories. Small company users enter monthly bank closing balances, and the system auto-calculates DCA (Director's Current Account) differences to reconcile personal-business accounts. Built-in Hong Kong 2025/26 two-tiered profits tax + personal assessment comparison, one-click export of CPA-standard CSV for accountants.

Positioning & best fit

BookSaiDSo is built for Hong Kong micro-businesses, especially two groups: small limited companies (1–5 people) facing mandatory year-end audits and high bookkeeping fees, and freelancers / sole proprietors / partnerships who don't need audits but want to track profit/loss daily and estimate taxes easily. The product is intentionally streamlined — no double-entry journals, accrual accounting, or cash flow statements — focusing on the core flow from bookkeeping to handover, avoiding feature bloat.

• Small limited companies: Mandatory year-end audit, mixed personal-business accounts, scattered receipts, want to reduce accountant bookkeeping fees, need DCA reconciliation and bank balancing
• Freelancers / sole proprietors: Still using Excel line-by-line, scrambling to estimate tax at filing season, want to see profit/loss daily and file BIR60 independently
• Shop owners: Frequent revenue transactions, use Daily Revenue feature to enter one total per day (by payment channel), no need to log every sale
• Startups / micro-enterprises: Transaction volume not large enough for Xero/QuickBooks, but want tidy bookkeeping and real-time financial visibility
