Small Business Books - Bookkeeping, Invoice, Mileage in one file

You are too small for accounting software and too big for a shoebox of receipts. This is the bit in between.

Type an amount, pick a category, and your profit, expenses and tax set-aside update themselves. No formulas to break, no subscription, no login — one file that opens in the browser you already have and works with the wifi off.

By the end of the first evening you'll know what your business actually made this year — not roughly, not once your accountant has been through a carrier bag of receipts, but on screen, broken down by category, with a figure to set aside for tax and a one-click summary you can hand over at year end.

Ten minutes a week keeps it true. Every entry takes about four seconds.

Built for the one-person business: cake makers, seamstresses, cleaners, tutors, photographers, market traders, crafters, handmade and print-on-demand sellers, mobile therapists and beauticians, gardeners, dog groomers.

If you invoice a handful of clients a month, buy materials, drive to jobs and dread the tax return, this was made for you. If you have staff, stock control or VAT returns to file, you want real accounting software instead — say so honestly and you'll avoid the refund.

• Your books - Money in and money out in plain categories a real business recognises — materials, packaging, platform fees, kitchen hire. No account codes, no formulas.
• Live profit & loss - Income and expenses by category with running totals and margin, so you can see which costs are quietly eating the year.
• Tax set-aside - A quarterly figure to put by, at whatever rate suits you. The number that stops January being a shock.
• Invoices - Write, number and print a proper invoice with your details, terms and bank information on it. Mark it paid and the income files itself into your books.
• Mileage log - Date, from, to, miles — the claim is worked out at your rate per mile and posted as an expense. The deduction most sole traders forget.
• Accountant report - One button prints the year: totals, category breakdown, quarters. Hand it over and answer far fewer questions.
• Set up once - Business name, address, currency, tax rate, mileage rate, invoice numbering and bank details — saved and applied everywhere. Ten currencies including USD, GBP, EUR, INR, JPY, CNY, SAR and AED.

Download once, use forever. It is a single file — no account, no cloud, no monthly fee, and it keeps working if you're offline, if this shop disappears, or if you're still using it in 2031. Your figures stay on your own device, and one button exports a backup you keep.
