Why we started Kikai
Most outsourcing feels like sending work into a black box. We built Kikai to work the other way: a named accountant, a written checklist, a fixed close date and answers when you ask for them.
Our clients range from accounting firms that need extra hands in busy season to owners who want their books handled properly every month. What they share is a need for accurate numbers, on time, explained in plain language.

- QuickBooks Online as our main platform, plus Xero, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage, Zoho Books and MYOB
- Full-cycle bookkeeping, bank, card and payment-processor reconciliations
- Month-end and year-end close with adjusting entries
- Accounts payable and receivable for growing businesses
- Financial statements, management reporting and Excel-based analysis

- Clean-ups, catch-up bookkeeping and software migrations
- Overflow and white-label support for CPA and accounting firms
From our work
How we caught a $1,840 sales tax error before it was filed
What we found
While preparing a monthly sales tax return for a retail client, the bank reconciliation showed a $1,840 difference. Card-processor deposits had been recorded as gross sales, even though the processor had already deducted fees and refunds. Sales were overstated and taxable sales on the draft return were too high.
What we did
We told the client the same day, before anything was filed. The deposits were re-entered from the processor’s monthly settlement report, with gross sales, fees and refunds recorded separately. The account was reconciled to zero, taxable sales recalculated and the two prior months checked for the same issue.
What changed for every client
Every processor deposit is now matched to its settlement report, not just the bank line, and taxable sales are compared with processor totals before any return is prepared. Each client has a written monthly checklist so these checks happen every month.
