Small Business Accounting

Accounting software for small business that does the books for you

Most small-business accounting software hands you a ledger and a learning curve. HelloBooks hands you an AI bookkeeper: it categorizes transactions, reconciles your bank feed, sends invoices, tracks expenses, and keeps your reports close-ready — so you run the business instead of the books.

Free Plan with 5,000 AI credits/month — no credit card.

What small businesses actually need from accounting software

A small business owner is not a bookkeeper. You need invoices that get paid, expenses that capture themselves, books that stay reconciled, and reports your accountant trusts — without spending evenings on data entry or a weekend learning double-entry accounting.

HelloBooks covers the full cycle in one product: AI bookkeeping, invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and tax-ready financial statements. The Free Plan is a real product — up to 3 users, unlimited invoices, full reports — not a 14-day trial.

  • AI bookkeeping that categorizes and reconciles daily at 95%+ accuracy
  • Unlimited invoices and quotes with Stripe and Razorpay payment links
  • Expense and receipt capture by OCR — snap a photo, the AI codes it
  • Bank connection via Plaid (U.S.) and local rails across 8 countries
  • Full P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and AR/AP aging reports
  • Country-specific tax: U.S. sales tax, U.K. VAT (MTD), India GST, Australia BAS, Canada GST/HST

Start free, grow into automation

The Free Plan covers most freelancers and early-stage businesses with no credit card and no expiry. As you grow — more transactions, more users, multiple entities — Pro adds 15,000 AI credits a month, unlimited users, multi-entity consolidation, multi-currency with auto FX, and API access.

Your ledger, history, and integrations carry over unchanged when you upgrade. Nothing is rebuilt; the AI just gets more room to run.
