Clarity Accounting was built by Habitsoft Inc. in 2008. Habitsoft was founded in 2007. The company began as a custom software developer but later moved into SaaS web applications intended for small businesses. Clarity Accounting was Habitsoft’s first product in this direction. The team remains quite small but still offers up a long list of feature to make running a business that much easier. Clarity Accounting changed its name to Kashoo in 2010.

Many business owners fear the accounting aspect of running their business, yet there may not be room in the budget to hire a professional. Kashoo helps business owners manage expenses on their own using an intuitive system that can save a great deal of time. With the ability to upload bank statements and switch currencies, Kashoo takes a lot of the time and frustration out of the financial side of running a small business.

The Kashoo website features a blue and white color scheme that works very well. The design is highly professional, with sleek rounded buttons and screenshots to help users’ learn more about the application. The actual tools are also easy to understand, even from the perspective of someone who knows little about finance. Headers and smaller menus allow the user to get at a glance details while graphs use colored lines to help the user see where the money is coming from and going to.
