A bookkeeping AI, with accountants behind it.
Return Ready is a bookkeeping AI. It reads bank statements, posts every line to a double-entry ledger and builds the reports; that is the part that used to take a person weeks. It can also make mistakes, the way any bookkeeper can, and we do not pretend otherwise.
So a team of CPAs and accountants reviews the work on the back end before the books go out. They check the postings the rules decided, read the answers the owner gave, and adjust what needs adjusting. Every adjustment is written down with who made it and why. What you receive has been built by software and signed off by a person who does this for a living.
What we believe about books
- Every figure has to be traceable. A number that cannot be opened to the lines behind it is a claim, not a figure.
- Not sure is an answer. A line the rules cannot decide is asked about, in plain words, rather than guessed and buried.
- Your accountant stays in charge. We prepare; we do not file. The review, the adjustments and the return are theirs.
- Nothing about a client's books leaves the client's tenant. See security.
Who is behind it
Pravin Purohit
Founder and CEO · Chartered Accountant (Inter) · QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor · Xero certified
Eight years of US bookkeeping, cleanups, payroll and tax returns for small businesses and CPA firms. He wrote down the rules he applied by hand and built Return Ready to apply them, with accountants checking the result.
What Return Ready does
- Builds a year of books from bank statements, however many years behind, with no accounting software on your side.
- Asks the owner only what the owner can answer, in plain words, on a phone if that is where they are.
- Hands the accountant books that tie: trial balance, general ledger, a QuickBooks file and an Excel workbook, with the review notes on top.
- Builds the 1099 list and collects the W-9s from the same ledger.
- Keeps the books current afterwards through a bank connection, so next year is a review rather than a rebuild.
