Absolute terrible company. I’ve been waiting for 18 months for my books to be caught up. First, they didn’t catch my cash transactions then I gave them full access to my account. They still haven’t caught up the cash transactions and they are importing all my books to QuickBooks wrong. I’m now in tax debt, two years over, and Inkle/Finally has charged me 5k for services they haven’t rendered. I still cannot file my taxes and the debt is piling up.

Very bad experience — I do not recommend this company to anyone. I missed my tax filing deadlines solely because of this company. Their image is nothing but empty and shallow marketing.
Response from InkleJan 16, 2026
Hi Velga, We’re sorry to hear and understand how stressful missed tax deadlines can be. We’ve reviewed our records carefully and can confirm that we did not provide services to your entity. A meeting was scheduled after the filing deadline, and while our team member joined the call at the scheduled time, we were unfortunately unable to connect with you as you did not join the meeting. That said, we regret any confusion or frustration this may have caused. If you believe there’s additional context we may be missing, we’d genuinely appreciate the chance to review it—please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can clarify and help where possible.

Poor experience, not serious about critical timelines, they lack expertise to handle your taxes and bookkeeping. Advise: please pay extra and go with better providers instead of Inkle as you may end up paying penalties. Note: Inkle is offering $30-$100 to leave a good review. Fortunately, not everyone is a sell out

I have been a customer of Inkle for the last 6-8 months through YC and they screwed up every single thing for our account from beginning till now. had signed up for book keeping and annual filings. However, they didn't even start on the book keeping for the first 2 months. Once they did start book keeping, they would delay completion of the books, stay silent without communication etc. They also missed the 1099 filing deadlines. After all the issues, they agreed to refund the amount already paid to them so that I can transition to a different firm. However, they haven't been processing the refund now and are avoiding replies to my messages. Please save yourself the trouble and go with a proven accounting/CPA firm that has a long history. Inkle is a new player and they keep saying they will learn and improve. But, they do this "ïmprovement" at your expense and you have to deal with the consequences of their bad service. update on 17th March 2025: now they have messed u p delware franchise tax, i'm getting $50 penalty for each failed payment and payments failed twice now and i'm getting notices from Delaware on the failed payment update on 24th April 2025: I'm getting multiple messages from the founder of Inkle to modify my review. However, I won't modify as I don't want other founders to go through the same horrible experience I went through and I want Inkle to stop taking their customers for granted.
