earnistThe simplest and cheapest expense tracker and tax deduction finder on the market.
Earnist connects to your cards, helps you sort business from personal with a swipe, and gives you a Schedule C-ready report for you or your CPA. Built for freelancers, creators, athletes and small business owners. Earnist is not a CPA or a tax filing service.
Swipe. Sort. See every dollar.
Every card charge becomes a card in your deck. One swipe files it to the right Schedule C category. The report writes itself as you go.
Business right. Personal left. Category pre-filled.
One screen for income, deductions, and take-home.
One PDF. Schedule C lines already mapped.
You built the income.
Now keep it.
Nobody's going to hand you the deductions you earned. Not the IRS. Not the payment apps. Not the "AI bookkeeping" services that lock you into a monthly subscription and still make you upload a spreadsheet.
Earnist is the tool that respects how you actually work — swipe through your own transactions, own your own numbers, and walk into tax season without owing anyone an explanation.
No shoeboxes. No spreadsheets.
Connect once. Every purchase lands in your deck. Business right, personal left. Done.
Always know what's yours.
Income, spending, deductions, take-home — one screen. No surprises in April.
Own the whole report.
One PDF. IRS Schedule C mapping already done. Give it to a CPA — or don't.
Three steps. That's it.
Connect your cards.
Link your bank, credit cards, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, and Zelle — all through Plaid, read-only. Every transaction lands in your Review deck the moment it happens.
Swipe.
Business? Right. Personal? Left. The category is already suggested. A week of transactions takes under a minute.
Get your money back.
One-tap year-end report, IRS Schedule C-ready. Hand it to your accountant or file it yourself — either way, the money you earned stays with you.
What beta testers are saying.
I thought it would take forever, but I can swipe through even the heaviest month of transactions in minutes.
This is the simplest place for me to match my receipts with transactions. I take pics on the go when I need to and it matches with my transaction when I swipe — it's awesome.
Earnist helped me realize how much I was spending across the different categories of my business. I never was given this awareness before.
