How it works

From first chat to first receipt, in days.

  1. Say helloSend an enquiry or book a call. We have a short chat about your business and check Books is right for you.
  2. We set you upYou sign a simple agreement and we check your ID (the law requires it). We connect Books to your QuickBooks and show you how it works. About 30 minutes of your time.
  3. Start snappingOpen Books on your phone, log in with a texted code and photograph your next receipt. Books texts you a summary every month.
  • Receipts in secondsPhotograph a receipt. Books reads it, files it in the right place in QuickBooks with the VAT, and you can undo it if it got something wrong.
  • Get paid fasterSend an invoice or quote from your phone. Books chases customers who are late, politely, so you don't have to.
  • Ready for your accountantMileage, profit per job and a tidy pack for your accountant every quarter. Books flags anything missing or untidy, like an expense with no receipt, and texts you a monthly summary.

Pricing

Simple pricing. No surprises.

One setup fee, then one monthly price. Cancel any time on 30 days' notice.

You'll also need your own QuickBooks Online subscription (paid to QuickBooks). Books works on top of it. We don't check your books are right, give tax advice or submit returns: your accountant still does that.

Get started

What you might want to know.

Do I need QuickBooks already?

You need a QuickBooks Online account. If you don't have one we'll help you start one, and set it up properly for a trade business.

Does it replace my accountant?

No. Books keeps your records tidy so your accountant has less to do. They still do your tax return, VAT return and advice.

Is my information safe?

Your accounts stay in your own QuickBooks. Books only keeps a small amount of its own data, and we never sell it or use it for advertising. See the Books privacy policy.

What if it files something wrong?

Tap Undo in the app, or tell us. Books also flags anything that needs a look, and your accountant still checks your books and does your tax.

How do I pay?

By card or Direct Debit through Stripe, with a secure link we send once your agreement is signed. The setup fee is paid before we start, then £150 a month in advance.

Can I stop?

Yes. Give 30 days' notice by email. We disconnect Books and delete our copy of your details within 30 days. Everything in QuickBooks stays yours. See the Books terms.

What support do I get?

Phone and email in normal working hours, Monday to Friday. For something urgent, text us and we'll get back to you the same working day.

Who will I deal with?

Me, Gio Petrucci, directly: from the first chat to setup and any changes after that. No call centres, no ticket queues.

Let's talk about your books.

You'll deal with me, Gio Petrucci, directly. We'll never share your details, and an enquiry doesn't commit you to anything.
