Ledger included

Finlens is not a ledger replacement: it works alongside QuickBooks or Xero and writes entries back to QuickBooks Online, so firms keep paying for QuickBooks; the founder pages also say it works without QuickBooks, without explaining where the books then live.

Do you replace QuickBooks or Xero? No. Finlens works alongside them to give you better visibility.

What the price is based on

Founder plans are flat monthly fees banded by monthly expenses ($50k free, $100k at $49); firm pricing is set by the number of clients managed and is quoted on a demo call.

Pricing is based on the number of clients you manage. Ask us during your demo — we'll build a quote based on your firm's specific needs.
