Ledger Optics

Ledger Optics reads a chart of accounts and transaction coding and surfaces likely errors: duplicate payments, miscoded expenses, overlapping or near-duplicate account names, catch-all accounts, naming drift, and missing descriptions. It's built for bookkeepers and accountants who inherit a file someone else has been running and need to find the problems before they compound.

There's a free browser tool at ledgeroptics.com/tools/coa-health.html that checks a chart of accounts. It runs entirely in the page, so the file is never uploaded anywhere. Free written guides on cleaning up Xero and QuickBooks files are also published on the site.

This is an early prototype, not a generally available product, built by one person (Jay Qadan) with no team. Pricing is free. Feedback from bookkeepers actually using it on real files is genuinely welcome.
