Beautiful and powerful accounting software for small businesses.
The latest in online accounting: ZipBooks takes the pain out of keeping your books, with simple bank connect, intelligent auto-categorization, and beautiful color-coded reports.
Online invoicing for the smart business owner: ZipBooks provides an effortless way to do your billing. Send beautiful and professional invoices, track as customers view them, and take online credit card payments through Square or Stripe. Set up recurring invoices and payments with ease, and send receipts to your customers when they pay you. You can even import tracked time into invoices and have all of the calculations done and line items created automatically.
Track time and project info anywhere: our beautiful and flexible time tracker allows you to keep your own hours and employee hours with the click of a button. Assign time to customers, projects, internal initiatives, or nothing at all. When you're ready, automatically export time to invoices. ZipBooks will automatically track which time entries you've been paid for, and let you easily track which you've paid to employees.
Ability to charge credit cards: simply set up a leading payment processor like Stripe or Square to ZipBooks, and let customers pay you online or in person with credit cards, all synced automatically to your books so you don't have to do any extra record-keeping.
Collaborative tools: add multiple team members to ZipBooks, and set permissions so they just have access to what you want them to -- whether they do bookkeeping, time tracking, or billing for your company. You can also give your accountant access and easily share documents.
Beautiful dashboards: ZipBooks' interface was designed for you to get all of the crucial information you need without needing to dig into reports (though of course, you can do that too with our powerful reporting functionality). Once you start using ZipBooks, its interface will light up with intuitive, simple and insightful dashboards showing you exactly where you're at.

- (2021-12-31) edward komito: Not much positive I can say about this one. There's no way to enter expenses manually. Everything has to be downloaded from your bank. Yikes. Think about his a moment. Who is on the other side? You've turned over banking and password information to a totally unknown entity who might or might not be playing by the rules. Do you know where the company is located? Do we know who management is if there is a breach? No and no as far as I can tell. I think I'll pass on this bargain for the time being.
- (2021-12-22) NB NB: This software can log any transaction as long as you know some basic accounting, and more importantly structure usuable reports in any way you need. I pay $150 a month to QuickBooks and would rather pay $300 to Zipbooks due to how easy and user friendly it is. The only problem is that it cannot download transactions properly from my bank, RBC, on the day to day basis. It will download correctly on the initial load. The staff say it's a problem with my bank, but considering QuickBooks can download them correctly every time, it's more of a problem with Zipbooks. However, Zipbooks blames a third party software after being called out on it. This would be my only software accounting solution, if it could download my transactions, and I would push this on all of my family/friends if it could.
- (2020-12-03) Elie Newman: Holy smokes!! I am starting a new business and I am so glad I came across this platform first before trying anything else. I already know this is the right solution for me. Day 1.
- (2019-02-08) Brent Douglas: ZipBooks has been a huge help as I have started a small counseling practice. Even using the free version, I have experienced great customer support. It has been very easy to use and enjoyable to work with.
- (2018-06-01) Laura Truglio: Extremely easy to use! I switched from Quickbooks and Go Daddy Bookkeeping to Zipbooks. This program is a god send. What makes this program even better is all the support you get in the bookkeeping world. Karin has been my main point of contact in my setting up Zipbooks and she has just been so helpful, kind and she knows her stuff!!. Karin is really the person who kept me onboard Zipbooks and with out Karin's assistance, I would have had such a hard time with categorization. Thankyou Zipbooks for understanding small business.
- (2018-05-10) Discover MyBusiness: Wow thank you so much for getting this amazing experience. This software is 5 STAR!!!
- (2018-03-29) Edward Santana: I very much like the program but I don't care for the initial hold on funds. Other than that, I love it.
- (2018-02-24) Amanda R. Berenguel Smolka: My daughter sells girl scout cookies and we're in the process of collecting money. I just want to create simple invoices to send to our customers but this is not a business so I was turned off from the very first question which was about the type of business that I'm in. None of the categories fit the purpose so I didn't end up using it.
- (2018-02-13) Paul HARB: All in one free easy to use and user friendly app
- (2018-02-13) Ben Dietrich: Such an intuitive, simplified experience. As a UX designer, I'm always on the look out for companies that "get" the human component of products and services. It's obvious Zipbooks took the time to consider how non-accounting folks would use their product. Well done!
- (2017-11-17) Macy Eldridge: Seems like a wonderful program, however, I was needing something with the ability to create a budget.
- (2017-09-18) Greg Russell: Worse program I have ever tried to use.
- (2017-07-28) Tyra: An extremely easy to use interface, even for those with no accounting skills! I have a very small business that requires basic book keeping so the free option is working perfectly for me. Also the online customer support is great; the response time is about 24 hrs and each time they have solved my issues so many thanks. :)
- (2017-05-30) Kenneth Shumaker: Easy to use, works as well as high cost software. These folks have awesome customer service, very attentive and know their product. The new version is now optimized for Windows 10 as well. Takes a few moments to learn the interface control but is simple, quick and awesome.
- (2017-04-20) Md Shofiul Alam: Firstly, i liked this so much as i'm from zero accounting background didn't find problem to understand in just 5 min, this is so easy to understand and super UI. All i wanted to know if they can add Export option in .XLSX and .PDF.
- (2017-03-23) Scott Garrett: Old version was great, new version has a lot of issues. Spent a month trying to get help from support. I can't stop my business while you work this out. No way to get my data out and I just don't trust it anymore. Time to start over on another platform.
- (2017-03-16) Anthony S: I have been using this service for about a week and I can say that I am extremely impressed at the user friendly menu items and reports. Even more impressive is the customer service and response from Brad when I had questions. So far i give it BOTH THUMBS UP!
- (2017-03-14) Mark Sullivan: ZipBooks has some awesome features with a sleek interface. Their support is top notch!
- (2017-03-10) Kimberly Schnackenberg: We are using this for our Youth Group for our kids! What a dream come true for a non-profit to utilize and make it so simple for the volunteers involved. As I am a business owner that currently uses QuickBooks for our business, I will be talking with my business partner to transfer our accounts from QBonline to ZipBooks. THANK YOU OPEN SOURCE!!!
- (2017-03-09) Brian Frazier: The absolute BEST and very FUNCTIONAL accounting software you could ask for! Why pay QuickBooks that monthly fee when you can get this for free?? It's a no brainer.
- (2017-03-03) Jeston Lewis: I am an owner/operator audio engineer. Over the past several years of building my business and client base, I have used several different companies ranging from Quickbooks to Wave Accounting. This is by far the best service I've used to date. It is truly intuitive and easy to use. The customer service is excellent and quick to respond. The new update they just rolled makes everything a lot clearer which I didn't think was possible. Keep up the good work!
- (2017-03-02) Danae Florou: I had no problems with the old version. The new version creates terrible problems, send multiple invoices or does not send them at all. Edit from my previous comment. The chat service worked afterall and someone contacted me. Tried to solve the problem and works ok today. I hope it stays that way.
- (2017-02-25) Andre Mourinho: Like Mark Rini before me, I too am an ex-Freshbooks user. ZipBooks is a far superior product, super user friendly and best of all free. Thanks guys!
- (2017-02-22) Bonnie Cohen: I recently retired from a government job and I am using ZipBooks to start my own small business. This software is excellent for basic bookkeeping to track expenses, income, send invoices and receive payments. it also includes a feature to track time spent on different different tasks which can be billed at different rates, which is a very important feature for me. This software is extremely easy. I never studied accounting but I was able to figure it out in a short period of time. I have the software on my 'droid so I can insert info while going to visit clients. I have contacted the support team and they responded within minutes! This software is free, and for a new business woman this is music to my ears. ZIPBOOKS, I LOVE YOU.
- (2017-02-22) Jessica Song: Great App!!! I love it.
- (2017-02-21) Adrianne Dias: I am a new business owner but I am not in a place where I can afford QuickBooks (nor do I need all of the features at this time). Zipbooks was recommended to me by a friend and I have been so happy with the way it is set up. I can access it from anywhere and it is very easy to use. I highly recommend this to new business owners or people starting up who aren't really sure what their needs are.
- (2017-02-14) Volodymyr Hirnyj: I am currently using ZipBooks to manage a very small engineering consulting and contracting business. This tool is excellent for basic bookkeeping to track expenses, income, send invoices and receive payments. However, it also includes the excellent feature to track time spent on different projects and different tasks within those projects, which can all be billed at different rates. The user interface is extremely simple for someone without an accounting background to pick up and use right away. The support team also is very responsive! I'm quite excited to see what features will be added soon.
- (2017-02-14) Cassandra Zimmerman: Great customer service! They replied very shortly after asking a question and their answer were easy to understand! I have been using ZipBooks for a few weeks now and so far I have liked how it works. Very User-Friendly!!
- (2017-02-11) Dan Bartlo: Incredibly easy to use, professional and polished from UI to documents and reports. Powerful, regularly updated and improved, I am so excited to be a ZipBooks user knowing something this good is will get even better over time. As a startup company, we could not have asked for a better software program. Fortunate to have found ZipBooks!

- (2017-02-07) Luana CM: Zipbooks is so simple to use and it has a very friendly user interface, I have been using it for over a year and for a freelancer like me it's my favorite accounting app, it does the job and I track of my expenses and incomes.
- (2017-02-06) Charles Sterling: Wow, what a great webapp and invoicing software. Easy to use, creates very clean and professional looking invoices and excellent reporting features. Makes my year end enjoyable. Can't wait until tax time to pull up all my numbers while sipping on a coffee.
- (2017-02-05) Destynnie Berard: I couldn't be happier with ZipBooks! It is by far the easiest, most user-friendly, and solution-oriented project management software available! Customer support is incredibly nice and professional, with fast response times. I am shocked at all of the options available, it makes it seem like ZipBooks was custom-tailored to solve the problems my company needed to solve.
- (2017-02-01) Preston T. Wright: ZipBooks has been a great asset for Manchester University's A Cappella group. It has been easy to use as well as speeds up the process when tracking invoices and expenses.
- (2017-02-01) Demetrius BigMeach Neal: MAN OH MAN!!!! This software is a piece of gold!!! I am so excited about working with this software for my company... looking forward to all the updates in the future!!!!
- (2017-01-31) Stuart Burns: Has been fantastic in helping myself set up my own company. Without this app i would be all over the place with my accounts. One key feature for me is how professional the invoices looks.
- (2017-01-31) Joseph Burlas: ZipBooks has been the greatest thing to happen to our accounting operations considering it's free and does the job that QuickBooks does. We are a small non-profit operation and for what we need, it does everything! Five stars!
- (2017-01-30) Doug Brisotti: As my small company grows I need financial software and know the cost and difficulties of other software packages. A google search landed me on ZipBooks. I was quickly able to set my company up including customizing an invoice with my logo. So far, very happy with the simplicity. Looking forward to seeing the app when it's available!
- (2017-01-26) Jason Haynes: Solid product. Even better support.
- (2017-01-26) Gene Teigland: I've used a number of apps for accounting and invoicing this is my favorite!
- (2017-01-26) OPINC TCB: I'm really pleased I found zipbooks. I don't use all of the items available but I'm a very very small company and wanted something simple that would work for me without any fees for a simple task. Zipbooks does that. I hope to use more of it as my company grows and if the fees are required for those actions, I hope to be happy with the choice.
- (2017-01-24) Excellent application and great support. I am moving from my existing solution to ZipBooks: it's cleaner, slicker and better suited to my needs. Great stuff!
- (2017-01-20) Teighlor Chaney (CatTeighls): Zipbooks has some areas that need work, but its team will take the time to listen and that is worth its weight in gold - and since it's free you're making all the figurative profit! When technical things arise I have always received fast response and an "over and beyond" personal approach. Zipbooks is a great program that is only growing and getting better.
- (2017-01-20) Andreas Gerolemou: Great UX, expandable, clean design. Free! Been using it for more than a year and I'm super happy.

- (2017-01-19) Ty Singerman: I love using this app. It's the most simple thing imaginable for something like accounting software. It's attractively designed, and provides all the functions I need for accounting and doing business with others. Just can't believe it's free.
- (2017-01-17) Trent Mano: Great accounting app! Super easy to track expenses and send invoices. Easily accepts credit cards for payment.
- (2017-01-16) Alice Pena: It is clean and simple. And the support is very helpful and quickly responsive. It would be nice to see a calendar with hours displayed on a month view as well as by the day. I want to give it 4 /1/2 stars.
- (2017-01-11) Best looking and easiest accounting app I have found. Just hope for some more nice features to fit all my needs and a crashless iOS app :)
- (2017-01-10) Cristi Jayo: Great customer support, simple & clean design. It's everything I need for my small business! Thank you :)
