A real ledger
Every entry is double-entry and balances before it posts. Mistakes are reversed, not edited away, so the history stays honest.
Telle is Norwegian for “to count”
Bookkeeping that keeps up with the money.
Telle is a double-entry ledger that books Stripe, reads your bank feeds, files your receipts, and closes the month. Everything QuickBooks did for a small company, without QuickBooks.
Telle is private and isn’t taking sign-ups.

Features
Everything a month of books needs.
Telle does the parts of bookkeeping that are really just counting, and leaves you the parts that need a decision.
Stripe, to the cent
Every charge, fee, refund, and payout comes in from Stripe and posts as a daily summary, so each bank deposit ties back to the sales behind it.
Bank feeds and a review inbox
Connect your bank or drop in a statement. New transactions wait in one inbox: match them, add them, or write a rule and never sort that vendor again.
Receipts that file themselves
Upload a receipt or forward the email. Claude reads the vendor, date, and total, and Telle pins it to the matching transaction.
Reconcile, then close
Check each account against its statement, then lock the period. Nothing lands in a closed month by accident.
Reports your CPA expects
Profit and loss, balance sheet, and trial balance on a cash basis, for any range of dates, ready to hand over at tax time.
How it works
How a month goes.
Most of it happens on its own. The rest takes a few minutes in one place.
-
1
Money moves
Stripe syncs, bank transactions feed in, and receipts arrive by email.
-
2
Telle sorts it
Rules categorize the familiar. Payouts pair with deposits, and receipts pair with charges.
-
3
You review
Whatever’s left waits in one inbox. Accept the lot, or fix the odd one out.
-
4
Close the month
Reconcile, lock the period, and pull the reports. Next month starts clean.
Receipts
Forward it and forget it.
Every company gets its own receipts address. Forward the vendor’s email and Telle takes it from there: it reads the receipt once, keeps the file encrypted, and pins it to the right transaction.
- Drop in PDFs and photos
- Or forward them to your receipts address
- Matched by amount, a few days either side
One login, every company.
Keep books for more than one company. Each has its own accounts, banks, Stripe, and closed periods, and nothing crosses between them.
Leaving QuickBooks? Bring every year.
Telle imports your full QuickBooks Online history and checks it against QuickBooks’ own reports. Then Stripe rebuilds revenue from the source and flags the deposits that never added up.
Security
Built like it’s holding the history of your money. Because it is.
Two-factor, always
Every account signs in with an authenticator app or a passkey. It isn’t optional.
Encrypted at rest
The database, its logs, and every receipt file are encrypted on disk.
Backups only you can open
Nightly backups go off-site, sealed to a key that never lives on the server.
Read-only connections
Stripe gets a restricted read-only key. Bank and Stripe credentials are stored encrypted.
Your books, counted.
Telle is a private app for the books it already keeps. If that’s yours, welcome back.
