In an accounting firm, most of the time goes to work that requires no accounting knowledge at all. Retyping an invoice from a PDF into the software. Entering a VAT number that has already been entered once. Ticking off in a spreadsheet which clients sent their full set of documents for June and which have been silent since April. Only at the end of that chain does the work the client actually pays for begin - deciding how something should be posted.
That's why we're building bookenu.pl - accounting software for bookkeeping firms in which AI reads the documents and the accountant approves them, instead of retyping them. The system is currently in early access and - this is the point of this article - we're looking for accounting firms willing to co-create it.
Why we're not building this on our own
Plenty of accounting software already exists. Some of it shares one trait: you can tell it was designed by someone who has never closed the month for twenty clients at once.
Software like that has a polished demo, and then it trips over reality:
- a client sends a photo of a crumpled receipt at 11:40 pm, because they've just remembered,
- a flat-rate taxpayer has three rates and each one has to be split out,
- a single expense invoice covers three months,
- the same counterparty is spelled slightly differently on every document,
- a correction arrives after the VAT return has been closed.
None of this can be dreamed up at a whiteboard. You have to see it in a real firm, on real documents. So bookenu is being built together with accounting firms, not merely for them - on their clients, their documents and their feedback. Firms joining now, during early access, genuinely set the order of work on the system.
What bookenu.pl does today
AI reads the source documents
Invoices, receipts and bank statements uploaded by the client are read by the system itself: it recognises the counterparty, amounts, VAT rates, dates and document numbers. The accountant gets a ready entry to approve, not an empty form to fill in.
That's the key distinction in the whole project: the AI does the repetitive work, the human makes the decision. Responsibility for the books stays exactly where it was - with the firm and its accountants. What disappears is retyping the same data for the thousandth time.
Underneath it runs on Anthropic's Claude models - the same stack we built enuchat.com on, our AI chat with 60+ language translation.
A client portal, or the end of the shoebox
The firm's client uploads documents straight from a phone photo, raises invoices and sees what's still missing for the current month. The system chases those gaps on its own.
This solves a problem no accounting software can solve from the firm's side: the complete set of documents arrives too late. As long as documents trickle in by email, WhatsApp and carrier bag, the firm loses the first week of every month to phone calls.
Ledgers, registers, JPK and KSeF
On the data the AI extracted from source documents, the system maintains the revenue and expense ledger (KPiR), flat-rate revenue records, and VAT sales and purchase registers - in the structure required for the JPK_V7 filing.
A separate pillar is KSeF. From 1 February 2026 Poland's National e-Invoicing System covered the largest taxpayers (sales above PLN 200 million), and from 1 April 2026 the remaining active VAT taxpayers (ksef.podatki.gov.pl). For accounting firms this is less a formal change than an organisational one: invoices no longer arrive at the firm - the firm pulls them from the system, as structured XML, through an API. That upends the entire document flow as it has worked until now, and it's precisely the area we're finalising together with our early-access firms.
Bank statements and the archive
The system imports and parses statements, matching transactions to documents - so you can see what's paid and what's outstanding. The whole archive is searchable semantically: you describe the document you're after instead of remembering an invoice number or a file name.
What a founding firm gets
Firms that join the early-access programme now:
- use bookenu free of charge throughout the entire early-access period,
- keep a permanent discount after the commercial launch,
- get direct contact with the team writing the system - no support desk in between,
- set the priorities - their remarks go straight into the roadmap,
- get hands-on help with setup and onboarding their first clients.
In return we ask for exactly two things: that you use the system on real clients and that you say plainly what's wrong with it. A handful of real users who will say "this is awkward, I do it differently" is worth more to us than a hundred passive test accounts. Places are limited, because we want to give each firm real attention.
How to join
- Apply - a short note about the firm: name, town, roughly how many clients, what business types (sole traders, flat-rate, limited companies, rentals) and what software you use today.
- Setup - we open your firm account, configure it around how you work and help you onboard the first clients.
- Real work - you use bookenu on real clients.
- Feedback - you tell us what works, what chafes and what's missing. It goes into the next versions.
Applications go through bookenu.pl/for-accountants or by email to info@bookenu.pl.
Who's behind it
bookenu.pl is developed by Kiran Sp. z o.o. - a company based in Pruszków, Poland, operating since 2018, with two practice areas: software development and GDPR rollouts.
That second practice is not incidental here. An accounting firm processes its clients' personal data as a processor, so the question "where do these documents live and who has access to them" comes up in every conversation - rightly so. In bookenu, firm data is hard-separated (multi-tenant architecture), and the processing details and data-processing agreement are settled with each firm before we start. GDPR is a separate practice for us, not a paragraph bolted onto the terms of use.
Earlier we built enumenu.com - digital QR menus for hospitality - and enuchat.com. bookenu.pl is the third app in that family and the first one we're building publicly from day one, together with its future users.
Do you run an accounting firm and are tired of retyping invoices? See the bookenu.pl details or apply straight away for early access. Taking part is free, and your feedback will decide what this software ends up looking like.
