Kantivo runs on your machine, which people assume means manual everything. It doesn't. Your bank activity arrives on its own, clients pay invoices by card, contractor filings go out electronically — and the accounting records themselves never get handed to anyone.
Try Kantivo FreeAll of the following are already in the product. No separate purchase, no premium connector tier — open Settings, authorize the connection, and it starts working.
Attach your operating account, savings and business cards, then let the day's transactions show up without you fetching them. Kantivo proposes the categorization so review replaces data entry.
Attach a pay-now option to any invoice. When the money arrives, Kantivo splits it correctly — revenue recognized, processing fee booked as an expense, receivable cleared.
Some clients simply prefer it. Offer PayPal alongside cards and the resulting bookkeeping is handled identically, with fees separated from income.
Kantivo already knows what you paid each contractor. It assembles the 1099s from that data and transmits them through our e-filing partner, so January stops involving a second piece of software.
Accounts, contacts, staff records and years of transaction history come across from QuickBooks Desktop or Online. You see and approve the field mapping before anything is committed.
Prefer not to link an account, or your institution isn't covered? Hand Kantivo the CSV, spreadsheet or PDF. It reads the document and turns the lines into actual entries.
Keep processing payroll through Gusto, ADP or whoever you use today. Import the register afterward and gross wages, withholdings and employer taxes land in the correct accounts.
Bill overseas clients in their own currency across fifteen supported options, with the rate pulled for the date of the transaction and your home-currency reporting reconciled behind the scenes.
Web-based accounting platforms hold your entire general ledger on their infrastructure — not as a feature, but because their integrations cannot function otherwise. Kantivo inverts that relationship, and the consequences show up on the day something goes wrong.
Your installation reaches out when it wants data. There is no inbound door for anything to come through.
Bank sign-ins and card details are handled entirely within the provider's own secure process.
Dates, amounts and descriptions come back and go straight into the database sitting on your drive.
Entries, statements and client records stay put. No vendor is holding a copy of your financial history.
Cloud vendors get breached, restructure their pricing, and retire plans customers were relying on. Every one of those events is a decision made about your records by somebody else. Keeping the ledger local and the connections deliberate means you get the automation without giving up the leverage.
We could pad this page by listing these as though they were finished. Instead: none of the below is available today. They are what we are building toward, sequenced by customer demand — which is precisely why there is a request form underneath.
Connect Kantivo to thousands of other tools without a developer. Raise an invoice when a proposal is accepted; ping the team when a big payment lands.
Documented endpoints for building your own connections, with subscribable events for your other systems. Larger organizations and public-sector buyers frequently require this.
Sales, refunds, marketplace fees and settlement deposits arriving as itemized entries — instead of a weekly lump sum that obscures what each product actually earns.
Counter sales, gratuities and card-processing costs recorded separately. Aimed squarely at food service and walk-in retail.
Billing by matter and client trust movements reflected in the ledger, keeping trust reconciliation accurate without entering everything twice.
Field costs, variations and progress claims linked to the job, so profitability by project reflects site reality rather than an estimate.
Completed deals generating the agent split, referral payments and brokerage entries by themselves, rather than a manual write-up per closing.
Gifts landing with their donor restrictions preserved, keeping restricted versus unrestricted funds properly separated for your statements.
Our build order comes from these submissions, not from a whiteboard. Naming the tool you rely on is the single most effective way to get it prioritized — and every response is read by a person, not filed into a void.
Submitting means you accept our Privacy Policy.
Not from us — everything listed as live is covered by your Kantivo subscription at one annual rate. Stripe and PayPal do charge their own processing percentages on money you collect through them, which goes to them directly; we take nothing on top.
Because the request travels outward, not inward. Kantivo asks for your recent activity and receives it; nothing external initiates contact with your machine. Your banking credentials are entered on your bank's own secure screen and are never visible to us.
No. Ledger entries, reports, invoices and client records remain in the local database on your computer. Connections are a one-way street inward: outside data comes in, your accounting records do not go out.
Download your statement and import it — CSV, Excel or PDF all work, and PDFs are genuinely parsed into transactions rather than stored as an attachment. A good number of our customers stay on this method by choice.
We would be guessing, and a guess on a marketing page is just a broken promise with a delay on it. Both are actively being built. Put your details in the form above and you will hear from us the day it is usable.
Yes — chart of accounts, customers, suppliers, employees and historical transactions from both Desktop and Online editions. Kantivo proposes the mapping for every field and waits for your approval before writing anything.
Free trial, no card required. Most people have a bank account connected inside ten minutes.
