Double makes software to help bookkeepers manage their clients' back-office. We write the same kind of software that venture-backed bookkeepers like Pilot write internally, but instead of doing bookkeeping, we sell that software to the 1.5M bookkeepers across the US.

Software for bookkeepers' back-office
We make software specifically designed for bookkeepers to manage their clients' back-office work. Instead of doing bookkeeping ourselves, we write the same kind of tools venture-backed bookkeepers like Pilot build internally, but we sell it to the 1.5 million bookkeepers across the US to run their businesses more efficiently.
We live in New York, NY and our company is based remotely with employees across the US. After YC, we will continue to operate primarily remote with a presence in New York.
New York is where Ben and Kenny live and where much of our team is based. Operating remotely lets us hire the best talent and serve bookkeepers across the country who themselves work remotely or in small offices.
