Everything your books need

One ledger underneath all of it, so every screen agrees with every other.

  • Invoices, from draft to paid

    Share a PDF or a link, record the payment, and the ledger follows.

  • Reports that always balance

    Balance sheet, P&L, cash flow and trial balance, live from the ledger.

  • US payroll, calculated

    Applies your withholding rates, adds employer taxes and posts to your books.

  • Month-end close, signed off

    Work the seven-task checklist, sign off, and the month locks.

  • Who did what, and when

    Postings, voids, approvals and sign-offs, each recorded in the audit trail.

  • Access, under your control

    Two-factor authentication, three roles and encryption in transit and at rest.

Post an entry. Watch it balance.

Every invoice, payment, bill and payroll run makes one balanced journal entry. Try it on the demo company's books; nothing you post here leaves your browser.

Before you sign up

What it does today, and what it doesn't do yet.

Is this real double-entry accounting?
Yes. Every invoice, bill, expense and payroll run posts a journal entry in the same database transaction, and an entry whose debits don’t equal its credits is rejected. Reports read live balances, so there’s no batch to wait for.
Can my accountant work in it?
Yes. Invite them as an Accountant, add read-only Viewers, and stay the Owner, the only one who can invite people. Everything anyone posts, voids, approves or signs off lands in the audit trail with who and when.
How is my data protected?
Your connection is encrypted over HTTPS, and the database is encrypted at rest by its host. Sign-in supports two-factor authentication, and each person’s role (Owner, Accountant or Viewer) decides what they can change.
Can I bring my existing data?
Yes, from CSV: your chart of accounts, customers, vendors, and products and services. Upload a file, map its columns and import. Transaction history can’t be imported yet.
Can I get my data out?
Any time. Export the general ledger and the audit trail, download the standard reports (profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance, aging and more) as CSV, and save invoices and board packs as PDF.
Can I email invoices or take payments online?
Not yet. Download an invoice as a PDF or copy its share link to send from your own email, then record the payment when it arrives.
Does payroll file and pay my taxes?
Not yet. Payroll is for US employers: each run applies your employees’ federal and state withholding rates, plus Social Security, Medicare, FUTA and SUTA, and posts the result to your books. Filing and paying those taxes stays with you or your accountant.
Can I connect my bank?
Not yet; bank feeds are on the roadmap. Until then, the payments you receive, the bills you pay and the expenses you log post to your bank accounts in the ledger, and you reconcile each account against its statement.
When can I upgrade to Plus or Pro?
Paid plans are opening soon. Start on Free today, and everything you set up carries straight over when you upgrade.
