At a glance

Five things HelloBooks does that the competition doesn't.

Each one is a feature you'd otherwise stitch together from two or three tools. Skim them here, then watch the agent work in the live demo below.

AI-Powered

Your AI accounting agent

AI-based accounting software that listens. Tell your AI what to do — create invoices, record bills, or snap a receipt. Our AI bookkeeping software handles the workflow from capture to categorization.

Reconciliation

95%+¹

Reconcile in a flash

AI matches transactions in real time. Bulk-reconcile in one click — no rules to write.

Local compliance

Local tax & compliance

Transactions are categorised with local tax treatment suggested for review, so your accountant gets books that are ready to check and file from.

AI Payables

Automate bill payments

Let AI match invoices to payments and recommend approvals with confidence. Watch AI parse extracted line items, auto-match to existing inventory, and suggest mappings.

Migration

Seamless migration

Switch without the stress. Migrate from QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, Zoho or Wave and bring your ledger across — every transaction, contact, item and opening balance — with a dry-run preview before you commit.

¹ 95%+ auto-match is an internal benchmark, not an audited figure

You stay in control

Powerful AI. You approve every move.

HelloBooks does the heavy lifting, but it never files or posts behind your back. The AI proposes; you and your accountant dispose — with a full audit trail and an undo on everything.

  • AI drafts, you approve

    HelloBooks reads bills, categorises transactions and matches your bank feed — then hands you the result. Nothing posts to your ledger until you (or your accountant) confirm it.

  • Every action is on the record

    A full audit trail logs what the AI suggested, what actually changed, who approved it and when — so month-end and any review start from a clean, defensible history.

  • Always reversible

    Edit or unwind any AI-assisted entry, match or categorisation. Nothing is a one-way door, so an automation can never quietly corrupt your books.

  • Your accountant stays in the loop

    Invite your CA or bookkeeper with reviewer or read-only access. Bills route through approval before payment, and returns wait for a human sign-off before they are filed.

One platform

All your accounting in one AI-powered platform

Receivables, payables, banking, inventory, tax and reports share one ledger — so nothing is re-typed between apps and the AI agent sees the whole picture.

Banking — reconciled by AI, not by hand

Bring in bank and card transactions and let AI reconciliation do the matching: a deposit to its invoice, a card swipe to its expense account. You review the exceptions, not every line.

  • Bank feeds and statement import
  • AI bank reconciliation
  • Cash-flow visibility across accounts

Inventory — stock that posts straight to the ledger

Items, variants, units of measure and bills of materials live in the same ledger as your invoices and bills, so stock valuation is always current and reorder alerts fire before you run out.

  • Items, variants and units of measure
  • Bills of materials and stock transfers
  • Reorder points and low-stock alerts

Local tax & compliance — built into the books

Transactions are categorised with local tax treatment suggested for review, so your accountant gets books that are ready to check and file from.

  • Local tax rate cards for AI categorisation
  • Books in your own currency
  • AI-driven month-end close

Explore Local tax & compliance

Reports — the numbers, always up to date

Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash-flow statements update as transactions post. AP and AR aging and custom report layouts are a click away, with multi-entity views on the Business plan.

  • P&L, balance sheet and cash flow
  • AP / AR aging reports
  • Custom report layouts

Why HelloBooks

Why choose HelloBooks

Six reasons businesses pick HelloBooks over QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books and Tally — drawn from what the platform does today, not from a roadmap.

  • An AI agent that runs the close, not a chatbot

    The AI Accounting Agent categorises transactions at 95%+ accuracy, reconciles feeds, drafts journal entries and closes the month — then hands you the result to approve. HelloBooks was built AI-first; QuickBooks and Tally bolted AI onto a twenty-year-old ledger.

  • Seven tax jurisdictions in one ledger

    US 1099 and multi-state sales tax, India GST with IRN e-invoicing and e-way bills, UK MTD-ready VAT, UAE VAT, Australia BAS GST preparation, Canada GST/HST and T4 preparation, and Singapore GST F5 preparation — all native, no per-country connector to license. Direct e-filing is live in India, Australia, the UK, the US and the UAE.

  • 100+ currencies, unlimited users, one price

    Live exchange rates, per-entity base currencies and consolidated reporting across entities are in every paid plan. Competitors gate multi-currency to an upper tier and meter the seats underneath it, so a cross-border team pays twice for the thing it needs most.

  • Plaid feeds where they run, AI statement parsing everywhere else

    Direct Plaid connections are live in the US and Canada and are rolling out across the UK and the EU. Everywhere else, upload a PDF or CSV statement and the AI parses, categorises and matches every line against your invoices and bills — so no market waits on a banking integration to close its books.

  • HelloTime posts payroll straight into your books

    HelloTime, the sibling product in the Meru Fin Tech suite, handles attendance, leave and payroll runs on the web and writes the payroll journals into HelloBooks — no CSV round trip, no month-end reconciliation between two systems. The HelloTime Attend mobile app for shift workers ships Q3 2026.

  • Free Plan worldwide, Pro from $39.99/mo per entity

    The Free Plan carries the core accounting features, 2 users, with no credit card. Pro is $39.99/month per entity with unlimited users and no per-seat fee. Plans are billed in US dollars; your books stay in your own currency.

Spain · IVA & contabilidad

Accounting software for Spanish businesses

HelloBooks computes your Modelo 303 (IVA) directly from your ledger — base imponible, cuota IVA devengado, exportaciones, base imponible deducible, cuota IVA deducible, and resultado de la liquidación. Filing via Agencia Tributaria (AEAT) Sede Electrónica remains manual for now; direct AEAT API submission is on the roadmap.

Spain runs three IVA rates on a quarterly rhythm that punishes sloppy coding: put a line on the wrong rate and the error follows you from the Modelo 303 through to the annual summary.

Live today

  • IVA return computation — Modelo 303 boxes computed from your ledger; copy totals into Agencia Tributaria (AEAT) Sede Electrónica
  • Multi-currency accounting in EUR
  • AI categorisation and bank-feed reconciliation
  • Invoicing, AR/AP ageing, P&L, balance sheet, cash flow

On the roadmap

  • Direct electronic submission to AEAT via Sede Electrónica API
  • SII (Suministro Inmediato de Información) real-time invoice reporting for large businesses
  • Modelo 390 annual IVA summary computation
  • Spanish payroll (cotizaciones sociales, IRPF withholding, modelo 111)

How Spanish IVA works

The points below describe the Spanish regime itself, not HelloBooks — they are the rules your books have to line up with.

General rate — 21%
The tipo general, applied to most goods and services.
Reduced rate — 10%
The tipo reducido, covering categories such as passenger transport, hotel accommodation and restaurant meals.
Super-reduced rate — 4%
The tipo superreducido, covering categories such as basic foodstuffs, books and newspapers, and medicines for human use.
No general registration threshold
Spain has no turnover figure below which a business making taxable supplies simply escapes IVA obligations — being small does not, on its own, remove them.
Modelo 303 — quarterly by default
Most businesses file quarterly, in the first 20 days of April, July and October, and through 30 January for the final quarter.
Modelo 303 — monthly filers
Monthly filing applies to large businesses whose previous-year turnover passed EUR 6,010,121.04 and to businesses in REDEME, the monthly refund register. Those returns are generally due in the first 30 days of the following month.
Modelo 390 — annual summary
An informational recap of the year rather than a further payment, normally filed in January. Not everyone files it; SII taxpayers are among those exempt.
SII — near real-time invoice records
Large businesses, REDEME registrants and VAT groups keep their IVA books by sending invoice records to AEAT as they go, not only in the periodic return. Others may opt in.
Where it is filed
The Sede Electrónica of the Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria (AEAT). The Basque Country and Navarre run their own tax administrations under their special fiscal arrangements.
Territorial scope
IVA applies in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands. The Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla sit outside it and use their own indirect-tax systems.

From your ledger to the Modelo 303

Each sales invoice carries its IVA rate and each purchase carries the cuota soportada you can deduct. At the end of the quarter those lines are totalled into the shape the Modelo 303 asks for: base imponible by rate, IVA devengado, exports and intra-EU dispatches, deductible input IVA, and the resultado de la liquidación. You review the totals against the transactions behind them, then key them into the Sede Electrónica or hand them to your asesor fiscal. HelloBooks sends nothing to AEAT.

Between quarters the bank feed does the work: transactions arrive, AI categorisation proposes the account and the IVA treatment, and you confirm or correct. That is what turns the 20th of April into a review.

Bank connections in Spain

HelloBooks connects to banks across Spain through Plaid, our open-banking partner — securely import EUR transactions for automatic AI categorisation and reconciliation. Connection rollout is by region. Supported institutions include:

  • Banco Santander
  • BBVA
  • CaixaBank
  • Banco Sabadell
  • Bankinter
  • Unicaja Banco
  • ING España
  • Abanca
  • Revolut

…and thousands more institutions via Plaid open banking. Connections are read-only and bank-grade secure — HelloBooks never sees your login. Prefer not to connect? Upload a statement and HelloBooks’ AI reconciles it line by line.

Who this is for

  • Sociedades limitadas that need a euro ledger, correctly rated sales and purchases and month-end statements without a full ERP.
  • Autónomos who prepare their own quarterly Modelo 303 and want the boxes computed from real transactions, not a spreadsheet.
  • Hospitality, retail and food businesses mixing 21%, 10% and 4% lines on the same ticket.
  • Exporters and intra-EU sellers who need zero-rated dispatches kept apart from domestic supplies.
  • Spanish subsidiaries of foreign groups invoicing in other currencies but reporting in euro.

Questions Spanish businesses ask

Does HelloBooks submit Modelo 303 to AEAT?

No. It computes the Modelo 303 boxes from your ledger and shows you the totals; you or your asesor enter them in the AEAT Sede Electrónica. Direct electronic submission is on the roadmap above, not live today.

Which IVA rates are handled?

21%, 10% and 4%, plus zero-rated exports and intra-EU dispatches and exempt supplies. Rates are applied per line, so an invoice can legitimately carry more than one.

Do I file quarterly or monthly?

Quarterly is the norm. Monthly filing follows from your registration status — large-business turnover, or REDEME — rather than from a setting in your software. HelloBooks computes the return for whichever period you choose.

What about SII?

SII means keeping your IVA books by reporting invoice records to AEAT continuously. It is compulsory for large businesses, REDEME registrants and VAT groups, optional for everyone else, and listed on the roadmap above rather than live today.

Can HelloBooks prepare my Modelo 390?

Not today — Modelo 390 computation is a roadmap item. The underlying figures, your periodic IVA totals for each quarter, are computed and available to work from.

I trade in the Canary Islands. Does this apply?

The IVA rules described here apply to mainland Spain and the Balearics. The Canaries, Ceuta and Melilla run their own indirect-tax regimes, which this page does not cover; the bookkeeping side is unaffected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About HelloBooks

AI-powered accounting software built for small businesses, freelancers, and CPAs.

What is HelloBooks and how is it different from other accounting software?

HelloBooks is an AI-powered accounting software that automates bookkeeping tasks like transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting. Unlike QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or Xero, HelloBooks uses AI agents to eliminate manual data entry — saving businesses 20+ hours per month.

How much does HelloBooks cost?

HelloBooks has a Free Plan with the core accounting features, up to 2 users, and free AI credits to get started — no credit card. Pro is $39.99/month per entity with unlimited users and 15,000 AI credits. Pro is priced per entity rather than per seat, so the whole team is included at one price for that entity, and AI bookkeeping is on every plan — the Free Plan included — rather than gated to a higher tier.

Is HelloBooks really free?

Yes — HelloBooks offers a permanent Free Plan with free AI credits to get started, 1 bank connection (a bank account or a credit card), AP/AR aging reports, and the core accounting features. Up to 2 users included. No credit card required to sign up. No time limit. Upgrade to Pro when you need more AI credits or unlimited users; multi-entity is on Business.

Can I connect my US bank account?

HelloBooks connects to 11,000+ US banks and credit unions via Plaid for real-time transaction feeds. Once connected, our AI automatically categorizes transactions with 95%+ accuracy.

Can I migrate from QuickBooks to HelloBooks?

Yes — HelloBooks includes a guided QuickBooks USA migration that imports your company file (chart of accounts, customers, vendors, transactions, and history) in a single pass. It is a one-time data migration, not an ongoing two-way sync — once you are on HelloBooks, that is your source of truth.

What features does the AI automate?

HelloBooks AI automates transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, vendor/customer matching, invoice processing via OCR, expense claim approvals, anomaly detection, and financial report generation. It learns your patterns and gets smarter over time.

Is HelloBooks good for CPAs and accounting firms?

Yes — HelloBooks is built for both small businesses and accounting professionals. CPAs can manage multiple clients from one dashboard, automate bookkeeping workflows, and reduce manual work. We offer a partner program for accounting firms.

How does HelloBooks compare to QuickBooks, FreshBooks, and Xero?

HelloBooks includes AI bookkeeping on every plan, Free included — not gated behind a higher tier — and prices Pro per entity rather than per seat, so the whole team is covered at one price for that entity. A guided QuickBooks USA import brings your exported company file across when you are ready to switch. See our detailed comparison at hellobooks.ai/compare.

Can I switch to HelloBooks from Tally, Zoho Books, Xero or Wave?

Yes. HelloBooks has per-source importers for QuickBooks (Online and Desktop), Xero, Tally, Zoho Books and Wave, plus a generic CSV import for any other tool. Your chart of accounts, contacts, transactions, items and opening balances come across, and a dry-run preview with one-click rollback means nothing is final until you commit. Start at hellobooks.ai/migrate.

What are the benefits of cloud accounting software like HelloBooks?

Your books are available from any browser or the HelloBooks mobile app, updates reach every account automatically with nothing to install, and your accountant works in the same live ledger instead of trading files. Bank feeds and AI categorization keep the numbers current between reviews, so month-end becomes a check rather than a catch-up.

Does HelloBooks handle GST, VAT and sales tax?

Yes, by market. In India, HelloBooks files GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B directly and generates IRN e-invoices and e-way bills. In the US it tracks multi-state sales tax and prepares 1099s, and in the UK it keeps MTD-ready VAT records. In Australia, Canada, Singapore and Kenya it prepares BAS, GST/HST, GST F5 and VAT3 returns, with e-filing on the roadmap in those markets.

Is my financial data secure with HelloBooks?

HelloBooks is independently attested under SOC 2 Type II — an attestation, not a certification. Security controls, data handling and sub-processors are documented in the HelloBooks Trust Center at hellobooks.ai/trust-center.
