Cohesio vs Double (formerly Keeper)

Double — Keeper until October 2025 — is the bookkeeping-native AI peer. It manages the month-end close through a two-way ledger sync and a client portal for transaction questions. Cohesio sits earlier in the month: onboarding and getting the documents in.

Facts verified September 7, 2026 from doublehq.com and the linked sources. Cohesio rows describe the shipped product.

What Double (formerly Keeper) does well

Deep QuickBooks Online and Xero integration, questions anchored to the actual transaction, batched client notifications ('one notification, not ten'), and a premium, well-designed product rated 5/5 on G2. If your pain is the close itself, look here.

Pick Double (formerly Keeper) if

  • Your bottleneck is the close — uncategorized transactions, ledger review, reporting.
  • Every client is already connected to QBO or Xero.
  • Per-client pricing fits how you bill.

Pick Cohesio if

  • Your bottleneck is before the ledger: getting statements and answers in, reviewed, and handed off.
  • You onboard clients before their books are connected to anything.
  • You want clients to respond from a link without a portal login.
