◆Current state
Bigcapital is an open-source cloud accounting product shipping at a high cadence — multiple tagged releases per week across server, webapp, and SDK layers. The last two weeks show a focused push on banking features: Plaid sync hardening, audit logs for banking modules, auto-recognition of bank transactions via queue, and a landed cost feature flag. SMS notifications are being wired in behind a feature flag, alongside a broad internal refactor from snake_case to camelCase API responses.
◆Where it's heading
The product is deepening its banking and financial operations surface. Plaid integration is getting production-grade attention (concurrent-run guards, proper disconnect handling, audit trails), and landed cost accounting signals a move toward more complex inventory and purchasing workflows. The API SDK with typed OpenAPI coverage is being built in parallel, suggesting a platform push toward integrations and potentially a public API offering.
◆Prediction
SMS notifications and the typed SDK will likely ship out of feature-flag status as the next named releases. Landed cost, once out of flag, will be the headline capability for users with inventory and import workflows.
