For bookkeepers
Tools. Not replacement.
Mise lets you take on restaurant and DTC clients without learning Toast, DoorDash, or Shopify settlement reports from scratch. The close gets faster. The audit trail stays yours.
Why bookkeepers reach for Mise
Three things you actually want from software when the client is a restaurant or a brand.
Aggregator math, handled.
Toast, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Shopify, Stripe — every settlement report matched to its bank deposit, split into gross / fees / refunds, dated to the right basis. The reconciliation work you bill for, but the math you don’t want to redo by hand on every close.
Journal entries you’d sign.
Every JE Mise pushes is double-entry balanced, idempotent on re-push, and shows its work. Owner draws go to equity. POS deposits clear in-transit, not revenue. The chart of accounts is simple but tax-correct. Inspect anything in one click.
QBO-native, no parallel ledger.
Mise writes into the same QBO your client (or you) already use. No second system of record. No reconciliation between Mise and QBO at month end. If you turn Mise off, your books don’t go anywhere.
How it fits
How Mise fits a bookkeeper’s month.
- 01
Gather
Plaid handles bank connections. CSV uploads cover Shopify, Toast, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Stripe settlements. You don’t hand-pull anything. Set it up once per client, leave it.
- 02
Review
Mise categorizes every transaction with a confidence score. The review queue is filtered to the handful Mise wants you to confirm. Bulk-confirm the high-confidence ones, look at the rest, move on.
- 03
Reconcile
Settlement reports get matched to their bank deposits automatically. Variances surface as alerts you can resolve in seconds — not as a spreadsheet you build from scratch every month.
- 04
Close
One click pushes balanced journal entries to QuickBooks. Already-synced entries are skipped on re-runs. When QBO rejects something, you see QBO’s exact error text — not a generic ‘something went wrong.’
- 05
Report
The reports you already build for your client — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow — come straight out of QBO. Mise doesn’t replace your reporting layer. It just makes sure the underlying ledger ties.
What stays yours
Mise is the keyboard. You’re still the pianist.
We’re explicit about what Mise doesn’t do, because the honest answer matters more than the marketing one:
Client relationship
Mise has no idea who your client is or what their year looks like. You do.
Judgment calls
Was that meal a business expense or a personal one? Mise will flag it and ask. You decide.
Advisory work
Cash flow forecasting, owner draws strategy, tax planning, entity structure — none of that is in scope. That’s the work you bill for.
Audit trail
Every Mise action is logged with the human who confirmed it. When your client gets audited, the trail leads to you because you signed off — not because a black box did.
Tax prep
Mise feeds QuickBooks. Your tax workflow comes after. We have no opinion on Lacerte versus ProConnect versus whatever you use.
Client communication
The cleanup conversations, the “why did you put this on the business card” emails — that’s the value you bring. We’re not going there.
Partner program
Early days, no overpromises.
We’re actively recruiting a small cohort of bookkeepers to use Mise on real client work. In exchange for honest feedback and the willingness to surface what’s missing, partners get:
- Direct line to the team — no support queue, no tier-1 triage.
- Founder pricing on every client you onboard, grandfathered as we grow.
- Influence on the roadmap. The “What’s next” ballot weights bookkeeper votes.
- Your name on the partner directory once it’s public. Opt-in, of course.
