Know how your business is really doing—and discover ways to increase profit.
Empirical is a bookkeeping and expense-tracking app built for self-employed business owners who want more than organized records.
Track income and expenses, understand how your business is performing, and get insights based on your actual numbers—so you can make more informed decisions about what to do next.
UNDERSTAND YOUR BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
• See revenue from every client or platform, spending by category, net profit, profit margin, cash flow, recurring costs, and an estimate of what to set aside for taxes.
• Follow performance over time to understand what changed—not just where the business stands today.
FIND WAYS TO IMPROVE PROFIT
• Get plain-language insights when margins shrink, spending increases, profit changes, or cash flow dips.
• See the business activity behind each insight and review practical suggestions based on your performance.
• Empirical uses your actual numbers—not forecasts or generic advice—to help you identify opportunities, control costs, protect cash flow, and make informed changes.
TRACK EXPENSES WITHOUT THE BUSYWORK
• Scan or upload a receipt and let AI capture the merchant, date, subtotal, tax, and total. The receipt stays attached to the expense, so the complete record is always easy to find.
• Connect a business bank account or card with read-only access. Transactions are imported automatically, and purchases that may be deductible are flagged for your review—even when there is no receipt.
KEEP EVERY PURCHASE ORGANIZED
• Expenses from receipts and connected accounts are automatically sorted into US or Canadian tax categories with a deductible percentage you can review and change.
• Create tags for clients, projects, or job sites to see what each one costs.
• Search your complete expense history whenever you need it.
BUILD COMPLETE, READY-TO-USE RECORDS
• Category-specific guidance shows which details to record for each expense.
• A readiness status shows what is complete and what still needs attention.
• Create expense and financial reports when you need them.

This is one of those things in life that you didn’t realize you needed until you had it. As someone less familiar with the financial/economics/tax universe, I have really enjoyed being able to rely on this app to keep my spending history organized while also determining which of my purchases are tax deductible … all with literally just the snap of a camera. Revolutionary!
A Very Helpful App

I downloaded Deduct AI just to try it out and ended up actually using it a lot. The receipt scanning works really well and it pulls the important info without me having to type everything in. It’s nice having all my expenses organized in one place instead of digging through emails and photos later during tax season.
So helpful!

This app makes tracking identifying tax write-offs incredibly easy. I can quickly scan receipts and the app automatically captures key details while organizing everything into categories. It’s simple to use and makes tax season much less stressful since all my potential deductions are already tracked in one place.
Such a big help!

Minor bug fixes and improvements for this week!
