ProfitBooks, a cloud accounting alternative to Vyapar
Why businesses switch

Keep the billing you love and add the accounting you need

Vyapar is great for quick bills. ProfitBooks gives you that plus the full accounting to run and grow the business.

Why businesses switch

Vyapar is a handy billing app for small shops. As your business grows, you need more than invoices: proper double-entry accounting, bank reconciliation, multiple users working together and reports your accountant can rely on. ProfitBooks gives you all of that in the cloud, alongside the GST billing you already use, and starts on a free plan.

Here's what businesses gain when they move:

  • Full double-entry accounting, not just billing
  • Cloud access from any browser or device
  • Bank reconciliation and 50+ reports
  • Multiple users on the same live data
  • Free plan with no time limit to get going

“We started on a billing app and outgrew it fast. ProfitBooks does the billing just as easily but also keeps our full accounts, reconciles the bank, and lets my accountant log in. One tool now does what three used to.”

Every bill you raise posts the correct accounting automatically, so your books are always ready.

Beyond billing

Behind your simple invoices sits a full accounting engine with a chart of accounts, journal vouchers, general ledger and trial balance. You get accurate books without touching a debit or credit, and your accountant gets everything they need at year-end.
