A team of seasoned software entrepreneurs today announced the launch of GlassJar, a new accounting software company focused on solving the frustrations that small businesses and accountants have long experienced with legacy tools like QuickBooks.
With a launch planned for Q4 of this year, GlassJar is being built from the ground up by a founding team that previously built and sold successful accounting and financial platforms. Their mission is clear: eliminate the complexity, poor customer support, and bloated features that have made traditional accounting software difficult for millions of users.
“We’ve been listening to the pain points for years — confusing interfaces, hidden data, forced workarounds, and limited automation,” said Ryan Joneson, co-founder of GlassJar. “GlassJar is a chance to do it right. Simple, clean, transparent tools that support how modern businesses actually work.”
GlassJar’s key commitments include:
Streamlined user experience that reduces bookkeeping time and tedious workarounds by making data easily visible and accessible during workflows.
Fast performance without crashing and lag-time when exporting large data sets.
Flexible pricing whereusers aren’t forced to buy what they don’t need.
GlassJar is currently in private development with plans to open a public beta later this year. In order to help shape the platform from the start, the company is inviting small businesses, bookkeepers, and accountants who are looking for a QuickBooks alternative to sign up for early access.
“This isn’t our first time in this space. We’ve seen what works, what breaks, and what frustrates users. GlassJar is a clean break from outdated models,” said Joneson.
