Your books should not be your job.

Lemondrop is being rebuilt as an accounting engine for Indonesian business. It reads your bank mutasi, your payment settlements and the photos your staff send, posts the entries it is sure about, and asks you about the rest. Six questions a week instead of six hours.

Nothing to try yet. No customers, no case studies. One email when there is something real.

What it could not work out

BCA mutasi− Rp 2.000.000

TRSF E-BANKING DB, no description

Rp 2.000.000 left BCA on 15 August and nothing else mentions it. What was it?

Three it handled. One it asked about. That last part is the only bit that needs you.

An example of what is being built. Not a live account, and the figures are invented.

What it reads

Your bank statement

The mutasi your bank already gives you, line by line. This is the part that makes the rest mean anything: if a payment or a receipt cannot find its matching bank line, the engine knows something is missing and says so. No bank partnership needed, and none of your credentials either.

Your payment links

Connect your own Xendit account and every settlement arrives the moment it clears — transfer, QRIS, virtual account. The invoice updates itself, and the entry is already written by the time you would have opened the app.

Photos and emailed bills

Your staff photograph the nota and send it. Your suppliers email their invoices to an address that belongs to your business. Both get read, coded and posted, with the original attached to the entry so anyone can check the working.

Where this came from

I run a property management business and a laundromat in Bali. I built Lemondrop because every accounting product sold here assumes you enjoy bookkeeping, and I do not.

The version live today works. Invoices, expenses, payroll with PPh 21 and BPJS, reports in Rupiah with PPN handled properly. It is also still a product where a human has to sit down and type, and after a year of building it I think that is the wrong shape for a business owner who already has a job.

So it is being rebuilt as an engine. There is nothing to try yet and there are no customers. If the idea sounds right to you, leave your email and I will tell you when there is something real to look at.
