Real books for your money, personal and business.
You say where the money came from and where it went. It's real double-entry accounting underneath, without having to learn debits and credits. Your books are plain files on your own computer, and you keep them free even if you stop paying.
Unless you want to. Here's how it works.
Personal, business, or both.
No account, nothing to install.
Real books, whatever you keep them for
Keep books for one thing or for several. Each gets its own ledger and its own complete set of books, and nothing bleeds from one into another.
- One set of books, or several
- Keep a personal ledger, a business ledger, or both. Each one is its own complete set of books. When you pay yourself from the business, you record the transfer once and both sides stay right.
- Your books are files you own
- Every ledger is a plain file on your own computer. Back it up or move it like any other file, and if you stop paying for online sync you keep everything.
- Money from here, to there
- Record what happened the way you would say it out loud. The money came from your checking account and went to the phone bill, and DoubleBooks works out the accounting.
- Real double-entry underneath
- Every amount comes from one place and lands in another, so your books always balance. Open any transaction and the debit and credit entries are there, for the day you or your accountant want them.
