Simple bookkeeping software for small business owners

Simple bookkeeping software that clears the backlog

Rules first, then your own correction history, then keywords. Every entry gets a 0–100% confidence score and anything above the threshold posts itself and remembers your preference.

  • Confidence-scored categorization
  • Receipt-to-transaction matching
  • Deposit-to-invoice and charge-to-bill matching
  • A single review queue for the exceptions

Books your accountant will accept

Simple does not mean loose. Every change is logged, every month can be locked, and every report exports cleanly.

  • Bank reconciliation line by line
  • Month lock so filed periods cannot drift
  • Audit trail on every edit
  • Exports for your accountant or tax preparer

Common questions about simple bookkeeping software

Can simple bookkeeping software replace a bookkeeper?
For most owner-operated businesses it handles the routine categorization and matching. Many owners still keep an accountant for review and filing, and can invite them in with read-only access.
What if a transaction is categorized wrong?
Correct it once and the system learns the rule for that vendor going forward.
Can I import history?
Yes — import CSV statements for prior months and everything backfills into the ledger.

Try it on your own numbers.
