Stripe says one thing. Your books say another. Recouped finds out by how much.
Stripe, Paddle or Lemon Squeezy. Deterministic reconciliation, prepared every month for your accountant to sign. Start with a free check on one month of your own data.
Money logic is deterministic. AI reads and explains. It never adds, matches, or decides.
Every month, four numbers drift. Nobody ties them.
- Dashboard MRR
- $51,900.00
- Stripe paid out
- $48,013.48
- Bank received
- $46,988.31
- Books recorded
- $52,418.90
The bank rec still ties, one payout in transit. Nobody tied the books to Stripe, and nobody tied Stripe to the dashboard.
- Refunds (7) not synced−$2,204.00
- Stripe fees never booked−$1,571.42
- Dispute lost, not booked−$630.00
- Books overstated by$4,405.42
- Tax on profit you never made
$4,405.42 in one month is $52,865 across a year. Revenue high, expenses low, and the return gets filed on it.
- Margin you plan spend on
Fees, refunds and disputes land in the wrong month, so channel margin and payback are wrong in the month you use them.
- A diligence finding, later
A buyer’s accountant ties the books to Stripe. Whatever nobody checked becomes a re-price, a quarter of rework, or a deal that doesn’t close.
Recouped ties all three, every month. Whatever won’t tie is listed, with the correction it needs.
Start with a free check on one month of your own data. Keep going with a month your accountant signs. Deterministic the whole way. No model guesses at money.
The free check
Find out what’s missing from your books before you pay for anything.
Send one month of exports from your platform, your bank and your ledger. Three files. No call to book first. Within a week you get every exception, what it’s worth, and how long it takes to fix. Nothing is retained.
Delivered within a week. Nothing retained.
The signed close
Every month prepared so your accountant can sign it in about an hour.
Every payout tied to its charges, fees, refunds and disputes. Every exception with the correction it needs. The books tied to the platform, not just to the bank.
From $750 a month. Prepared by Recouped, signed by your accountant.
The rule
Money logic is deterministic. AI reads and explains; it never adds, matches, or decides.
A tiered rules engine matches every line and logs the rule it used. The same inputs give the same answer, and the rule log lets your accountant check every line.
99.7% of lines match on the first pass. The rest is the product.
Priced on complexity, not per transaction.
Start with the check. Nothing else begins until it has told you what a month of your own data is hiding. After that it is a flat fee, keyed to how many payouts and sources you have, never per transaction.

Bookkeeper or CPA?
Refer a Stripe-heavy client. They get the free check; if it becomes a close, you take 20% for twelve months, and your name stays on the close. Wholesale pricing opens later, from measured hours. Software or hardware clients, the terms are the same.
Questions
Keep them. Your bookkeeper reconciles the bank, and it ties, because every deposit matches a payout line. Recouped ties the platform to the bank and to the books, line by line, and hands your bookkeeper the exceptions. They review and sign.
Synder, A2X, Bookkeep and the like move the data. Whether the fee, the refund and the dispute were posted right is exactly what nobody checks. The free check tells you, on one month of your own data.
Then tax comes out before the payout. The usual break is booking the payout gross, or booking the tax again on top. The check finds that in month one.
Yes. Fees never booked and refunds never synced are wrong on any basis. And the day you talk to a buyer, a lender or an investor, their accountant redoes the tie, starting from Stripe.
The free check is worth running at any size. The signed close starts to make sense around $25k a month through the platform, or earlier with a second processor or a second entity.
One month with a ten-day tail on each side contains both month-end boundaries, which is where timing breaks show. What more months add is recurrence and a run rate. The signed close gives you that from the first month on, and the exit-ready pack does it retrospectively.
No. The signed close is a management control, like a reviewed bank reconciliation. Recouped prepares it; the person with authority over the books signs it. No attestation, no assurance.
The free check retains nothing: the data is deleted once the write-up is sent, and you get a note confirming it. The signed close keeps each month’s artifact and workpapers, encrypted and access-controlled, for as long as you’re a client, then exports them to you.
