Everything You Rely On — Now in the Cloud, and Free to Start
ProfitBooks keeps the accounting power you expect, and removes the desktop headaches.
Tally is powerful, but it lives on a single computer, needs installing and updating, and comes with a licence cost. ProfitBooks gives you the same day-to-day essentials — invoicing, double-entry accounting, bank reconciliation and reports — in the cloud, so you can work from any device and start on a genuinely free plan.
Here’s what businesses gain when they move:
- Cloud access — not locked to one desktop
- Nothing to install, update or back up manually
- Free plan with no time limit to get going
- Simple enough to use without an accountant
- Multiple users on the same live data
“We ran on desktop accounting software for years and were tied to one machine in the office. With ProfitBooks I check my numbers from my phone, my accountant logs in remotely, and we started free. I only wish we’d switched sooner.”
Your Books, on Any Device — Not Chained to One PC
Browser, laptop, phone or tablet. Your data lives securely in the cloud, always in sync.
Work From Anywhere — office, home or on the move
Because ProfitBooks is fully cloud-based, there’s no single machine holding your accounts hostage. Log in from any browser or the mobile app and your data is right there, backed up automatically. No pen drives, no “the file is on the office computer”.
Add Your Team & Accountant — same live data
Give your billing team, manager and accountant their own logins with role-based access. Everyone works on the same real-time books, with no shared licences or copied data files.
- Browser + iOS & Android apps
- Automatic cloud backups
- Role-based multi-user access
- Invite your accountant remotely
