1/ Today, we're launching @Mercury Books. AI-powered accounting software, for your bookkeeper or you, that categorizes and reconciles your transactions the moment they happen.

2/ In my last business, I'd have to bug our bookkeeper to get an Excel file for my books 15 days after the month closed. I'd spend hours trying to figure out why some cost had jumped. We were barely profitable, so we had to run a tight ship. I hated those spreadsheets!

3/ Most accounting software still works the old way: you enter things, reconcile by hand, and wait until month-end to know where you actually stand. Mercury Books does that work in real time with AI, so the numbers are ready when you need them, not weeks later.

4/ Mercury banking, IO card, billpay and invoices are all first party integrations to Mercury Books. All of your transactional data flows in automatically, in real time, and gets categorized and inserted seamlessly into your books so nothing to do on your end.

5/ Mercury Command (our AI agent) works inside Books. Ask what changed since last month, what your cash position looks like, or where money went. You get an answer in plain language instead of hunting through reports.

6/ You can bring your own bookkeeper or accountant to use Mercury Books or we can connect you with partners like @PilotHQ, @Fondocom, and Ridgewood that we have worked with on the Books pilot.

7/ It's time for us to do to accounting what we did to banking. Bring it kicking and screaming to the 21st century :). No spreadsheets. No guessing which report has the numbers you need. No pinging your bookkeeper to translate a balance sheet. Just a better way to understand and run your business. *Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank.

@mercury obvious question, but can you connect external credit cards to it so it has all your transaction data?

@mercury yes

@mercury I just want a huge "Import and cancel Quickbooks" button 😊 moving over will be a pita .. chart of accounts didn't really sync correctly, etc.. but hope to eventually get there (my accountant will fight me tooth and nail on this)

@mercury Do you think this could fully replace QuickBooks today with a relatively seamless transition?

@mercury yes

@mercury I am unreasonably excited about this

@mercury Incredibly audacious, as usual. It would be so fun to get a peek inside how you guys keep shipping at such velocity across a wide range of highly regulated markets!

@mercury this is dope

@mercury Have been using @mercury books. Perfect product, fits right into the stack.

@mercury I can't express my disappointment in learning that this is indeed not a Stripe Press equivalent focused on arcane banking books.

@mercury Ha, will put that on the drawing board.

@mercury pretty sure @patio11 would be first in line too.

@mercury You're doing God's work. Thank you!

@mercury Can we fully replace quickbooks and ramp now?

@mercury yes!

@mercury 🚀

@mercury Can’t wait to try this one. Cancelling QB now.

@mercury So stoked for this launch & can't wait for people to experience how accounting should be !!

@mercury Accounting gets painful when the numbers arrive weeks later. Having everything reconciled as transactions happen sounds much more useful.

@mercury accounting dragged kicking and screaming into the api era

@mercury Is this coming to personal or just business?

@mercury Oh this is awesome. Needed this!

@Shpigford @mercury How do we get access? Is this now available to Mercury customers?

@mercury great extension on a great foundation!

@mercury I’m excited to try this. Is there an easy import from quickbooks?

@mercury encrypted content-addressed source documents let auditors verify the evidence behind an AI categorization without relying on one accounting database.

@mercury This is sick!

@mercury Very cool!

@mercury Congrats Immad. This is very smart & love the name.

@Shpigford @mercury Goodbye xero quickbooks whatever the hell. YESSSSSSSSS

@mercury Amazing!!! And I just need to stop my quickbooks renewal.

@mercury Hey! This is perfect. We restructured our company though and I would *really* like to import data from a different Mercury account - will that become possible some day? Maybe even just a one-time import from my old account to new (Books only)?

@mercury Wen payroll 🤓

@mercury Huge congrats to Mercury and the Books team! This was a labor of love for many people over years.

@Scobleizer @mercury HOLY SHIT YES

@mercury Stablecoin support up next?

@liveink @mercury Hell yeah!! RIP quickbooks

@mercury hahahahahahaha While doing my 2025 returns in Quickbooks a week ago, I got super frustrated and prayed for Mercury to launch its own accounting product. Lo and behold! Santa @immad made my wishes come true.

@mercury Wow! That looks amazing!!
