Every transaction posts to an immutable ledger, so your P&L and balance sheet always agree.
Journal entry · Invoice #1042
| Account | Debit | Credit |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts Receivable | $1,620.00 | |

| Totals | $1,620.00 | $1,620.00 |
Balanced
Every invoice, bill and payment posts like this. Debits equal credits. Always. The amounts above are a sample entry, not a price.
Why is small-business bookkeeping still this hard?
If any of these sound familiar, you are who we built this for.
“My books live in three places.”
Invoices in one app, receipts in a shoebox, and the “real” numbers in a spreadsheet that only balances in April. Hours of manual reconciliation, and reports you cannot fully trust at tax time.
“My software does not speak my team's language.”
You work in Spanish, your accountant works in English — or the other way around. Someone is always translating categories and reports, and details get lost in between.
“The price keeps climbing.”
QuickBooks Online raised prices again in August 2026 — Essentials now runs $85 a month and Plus $140 a month, before payroll.

Connect
Link your bank or import statements. Transactions flow in and match against your invoices and bills.

Income and costs per job, so you can see which work actually pays.
Inventory
Quantities, costs and inventory postings that stay in sync with your books.
Why do balanced books matter?
One source of truth
Every number in every report traces back to the same double-entry ledger. No parallel spreadsheets, no “which total is right?”
Corrections never delete history
Journal lines are immutable. Fixes post as reversal entries — the audit trail your accountant expects.
No rounding drift
Amounts are stored as exact integer cents, so totals do not wander by a penny as your business grows.
I built bbooks because bilingual businesses should not need two sets of books. If the ledger does not balance, nothing else matters — so that is the part we made unbreakable.
bbooks is in early access. You are talking to the person building it, and what you ask for shapes what ships next.

Frequently asked questions
Can my team use bbooks in Spanish while my accountant uses English?
Yes. Language is a per-user setting. The same company, the same books, the same reports — each person just sees them in the language they prefer.
Is bbooks a real double-entry accounting system?
Yes. Every transaction — invoices, bills, payments, payroll — posts balanced journal entries to an immutable ledger. Corrections are made with reversal entries, so the audit trail is never rewritten.
Can I switch from QuickBooks or from spreadsheets?
There is no one-click importer yet. You can connect your bank or import statements to rebuild your activity, and shape the chart of accounts to match what you had. If you get stuck during early access, you can ask the founder directly.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 30 days, no credit card. The trial includes every module, and you pick a plan when you are ready.
Does bbooks file my payroll taxes?
Not yet. bbooks calculates payroll using configurable tax tables and generates the reports; you or your accountant handle the filing. Payroll e-filing is on the roadmap.
Who is bbooks for?
US small businesses, freelancers and LLCs — especially bilingual owners and teams tired of accounting software that only works in English.
