Features

Everything your business needs

No setup required. No accounting degree needed. Everything works the moment you sign up.

📡

Works Offline

All your data lives on your phone first. Record transactions, view balances, and generate reports with zero internet. Everything syncs automatically when you reconnect.

💸

5 Transaction Types

Sales, purchases, expenses, deliveries, and quotes — each with multi-line support, inventory linking, contact tagging, and an approval workflow for your team.

🧾

Invoices & Quotes

Generate professional PDF invoices and quotes with your company branding and digital signatures. Convert a quote to an invoice in one tap.

📦

Inventory Tracking

Stock levels update automatically as you record sales and purchases. Track unit prices, link items to transactions, and see total inventory value at a glance.

👥

Team Access

Invite team members by email with four role levels. Owners control everything; Full Access handles all finances; Entry staff record transactions without accessing sensitive reports; Viewers read everything without changing anything.

🔒

Secure by Design

Your data is completely private. Every company's finances are isolated from all others on the platform — only you and your team can ever see your records.

Team & Access

You're in control. Your team has exactly the access they need.

As the owner, you invite your team by email and choose their role. Each role is designed so people can do their job — without seeing what they shouldn't.

Who it's for

Built for the way real businesses work

Whether you're running a solo hustle or coordinating a team, BasicBooks fits the way you operate — not the other way around.

🚀

Entrepreneurs & Founders

You started a business, not an accounting degree. BasicBooks gives you real financial clarity — see what you're making, what you're spending, and whether you're profitable — in plain language.

🤝

Business Partners

Two or more partners, each incurring costs and recording income? Invite your partner as a team member. You both see the same numbers in real time — no spreadsheets to reconcile at the end of the month.

🌱

Startups & Early-stage Teams

Move fast without losing track. Record every cost and revenue stream from day one — then hand clean, structured financials to your accountant or investor without the usual scramble.

🏢

Departments & Projects

Running a cost centre, project budget, or department within a larger organisation? Set up a BasicBooks company for your unit and track every inflow and outflow independently — without touching the main accounts.

🛒

Traders & Market Sellers

Record a sale at the market, a trade fair, or anywhere — with or without a signal. Inventory updates automatically as you sell and everything is there when you get back to the office.

📋

Field Teams & Sales Reps

Your team is on the road recording sales and expenses while you stay on top of the numbers back at base. Role-based access means staff can record transactions without ever seeing sensitive financial reports.

Offline-first architecture

Your finances don't stop when the internet does

Most accounting apps grind to a halt without a connection. BasicBooks stores everything locally on your device first and syncs to the cloud in the background — so you can work from the market, the warehouse, or anywhere in between.

  • Record transactions with no internet
  • View all reports and balances offline
  • Automatic background sync when back online
  • Conflict resolution keeps team data consistent
