Bean Cruncher was founded in 2010 after building a small invoicing system for our own needs.
From there, it has grown into an Advanced Business Management Software Suite.
By focusing on customer needs, we continue to improve Bean Cruncher from user feedback.
Bean Cruncher is built and tested by accountants in order to provide accountants with the most straight forward, user-friendly accounting software available.
Simon founded Bean Cruncher in 2010 and still sets its direction as a Chartered Accountant who has led ERP implementations for organizations from family businesses to NYSE-listed corporations. That background is why Bean Cruncher is built around real accounting workflows, multi-company and multi-currency consolidation, audit-ready reporting, and the kind of financial controls larger organizations require, rather than generic bookkeeping features bolted on after the fact.
He continues to write and review the code behind Bean Cruncher's data migration and consolidation tools, keeping the product grounded in what accountants actually need day to day.
Kirk brings 15+ years of frontend and full-stack engineering to Bean Cruncher, including leading a major architecture migration and cutting an application's load footprint by over 80% on a previous product. That focus on performance and usability shapes how Bean Cruncher's interface is built fast, uncluttered, and straightforward for accountants who aren't developers.
He also leads Bean Cruncher's work on AI-assisted features, applying hands-on experience building production tools with LLM APIs to automate more of the busywork inside the platform.
