Categoreyes

For UK bookkeepers

Bank lines in. Books you can send a client.

Categoreyes turns a messy statement into a categorised ledger against your chart of accounts — then a reports pack, not a spreadsheet graveyard. Subscribe to Books for the workspace. Use the API when you are wiring it into software.

Checkout is not live yet. Register interest for the founding rate — existing accounts can still sign in.

What you get

Built for the extract you already export.

Any bank CSV

Drop a statement in, map Date, Description, Debit and Credit. We guess the layout; you confirm it.

Your chart, not ours

Canonical categories resolve to each practice’s own nominal codes and VAT rates. No universal code list.

Match, then AI

Known merchants snap in instantly. Leftovers go through a guided Ask AI pass with the rationale in view.

Reports a client can read

P&L, cash, VAT 100, drawings, HMRC, exceptions, compare, monthly and forecast — plus a ledger CSV.

Stays on the machine

The CSV is categorised in the browser. Only description and amount go to the API. Sort code and account number never leave the device.

API when you need it

The same matching engine is available as a keyed API for practice software and in-house tools.

How it works

Three passes. Then you are done.

01

Map the extract

Point columns at date, narrative and amounts. BoS and generic layouts are detected for you.

02

Watch it categorise

Merchants, aliases and rules fire first. Anything unknown is queued for AI, not dumped into miscellaneous.

03

Review, then report

Drag a line onto another heading, check VAT, then download the pack you would actually send.

API

The same engine, in your software

Issue a key, map categories to your chart, and categorise batches from practice tools or a custom app. Dashboard for keys, usage and AI review.

  • Deterministic merchants and rules first
  • Optional AI suggestions
  • Live usage and mapping required states

Pricing

Founding rate when checkout opens.

Books workspace

Subscription per practice. Founding customers lock in the opening price. Billing is the next ship — this page is ready for it.

API organisation

Keyed access with usage you can see. Same matching catalogue as Books. Plan limits land with the subscription gate.
