About the startup
Crane Ledger is an API-first accounting platform built for AI builders. Pure headless — no UI attached — so you build exactly the financial experience your users need. Three protocols: REST for accounting ops, GraphQL for complex financial queries, and MCP Protocol for AI-native accounting with Claude and other assistants. Replace/extend QuickBooks, build niche accounting systems, manage multi-entity financials, or embed accounting in your SaaS. Credit-based pricing.
