Vinyl, the AI-notetaker for accountants and bookkeepers, has officially launched into private beta—backed by verification from both Google and Zoom.

“We didn’t want to show up with just a landing page and hype,” said co-founder Jordan Vickery. “If you want trust from bookkeepers and accountants, you need more than a good pitch—you need proof.”

Verified, integrated, and ready to use

Vinyl is now verified on the Google Workspace Marketplace and Zoom App Marketplace, with Microsoft and Xero approvals currently in progress. These integrations are core to the product, allowing Vinyl to join meetings automatically, transcribe conversations, and turn them into clear, actionable outputs—from proposals and task lists to standard operating procedures and client content.

“When our first users open Vinyl, it won’t just work—it’ll work where they already work,” Vickery added. “Whether that’s in their Google Calendar, their Zoom calls, or soon in Microsoft.”

Designed for trust, built for scale

Vinyl has been purpose-built for the accounting industry. Unlike general-purpose notetakers, Vinyl understands the workflows and tools firms already use. It’s designed to save time, eliminate admin, and create real outputs from every client conversation.

“We’ve seen first-hand how much time accountants spend on meeting notes, follow-ups, and chasing next steps,” said co-founder Liss McLaren. “Vinyl takes that admin off their plate—while giving them a system of record that helps their team move faster.”

Beta live, just in time for the Digital Accountancy Show

Vinyl’s private beta is now live, with over 100 firms signed up for early access. The team will be showcasing Vinyl at the Digital Accountancy Show in London this April.

“Beta doesn’t mean buggy,” McLaren said. “It means battle-tested by the right users, on the right platforms.”

Accountants and bookkeepers heading to DAS can stop by to see Vinyl in action—or request early access now at usevinyl.com.
