Pilot

Know where your business stands, every day.

For business owners and accountants

In small companies the books are often behind, then caught up in a rush before the VAT return or year end. Books keeps them current as you trade, so the figures are right whenever you need them.

WHY BOOKS

One VAT period, two ways

Illustrative: a company filing its VAT3 every two months. January and February are due on 23 March.
DAY TO DAY

Figures you can trust on any day

Every transaction is recorded as it happens, so you are never looking at last month's position.

VAT TIME

A VAT3 that is already prepared

It is built from entries that are already recorded and checked, not from a pile of receipts.

YEAR END

No clean-up before the accounts

The books are right all year, so year end starts from figures you can stand over.

WHO IT'S FOR

Business owners and their accountants

FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

You started a company to run it, not to keep its books.

  • Know where you stand at any point in the month
  • No evenings on receipts before the VAT return
  • Start right from your first month, with no backlog to clear later
Join the waitlist
FOR ACCOUNTANTS

Spend your time advising clients, not catching up their records.

  • Clients' books arrive complete and reconciled
  • Every entry carries the document behind it
  • No keying or reconciling, so time goes on review and advice

QUESTIONS

Before you join

Something else? Email [email protected]

I have just incorporated. Is it too early?

No, it is the best time. Starting from your first month means the books are never behind, and there is no backlog to clear later.

Will anything post without my approval?

Only what you allow. Each invoice and bank transaction is handled as it arrives, and Books learns how your business works. Within thresholds you set, it can post routine entries on its own, such as a monthly bill that always matches. You decide what posts automatically and what waits for approval, by supplier, type or amount. Anything ambiguous is flagged and resolved with you before it posts, and every entry links to the invoice or bank line behind it.

Does it file my VAT3 with Revenue?

No. Books prepares the VAT3 from your recorded entries. You or your accountant file it on ROS.

What does it cost?

Pricing is agreed with each pilot company. Join the waitlist and we will tell you the price before you commit to anything.
