Simple books for one-person businesses
Upload your bank statement. We sort every line into your categories. You see what you earned, spent and kept.
14 days free, no card needed. By creating an account, you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Bookkeeping help only. Not tax or legal advice.
A simpler QuickBooks alternative
Stop paying $1,200 a year for features you never use. Most one-person businesses only need three things from their bookkeeping software: know where the money went, send invoices and get paid, and hand clean numbers to their accountant. Prova Books does exactly that, for $240 a year.
How it works
- Upload your bank statement. A CSV or PDF from any bank or credit card. Name each account once, like “Checking” or “Visa”.
- Every line gets sorted. Income, expenses by category, refunds, loans, owner draws, and transfers that shouldn’t count. You answer only the few lines it isn’t sure about.
- See what you kept. Your dashboard shows income, expenses and profit, by month and by category.
Simple bookkeeping and invoicing in one place
Bank statements, sorted for you
Upload the CSV or PDF statement from any bank or credit card. Every line goes into your own categories. Stores you've confirmed are remembered, and anything unclear is asked once, with one-tap answers.
Invoicing for contractors
Invoices and estimates with your logo. Send a link your client opens on their phone, and they can accept an estimate online. Turn an accepted estimate into an invoice in one tap.
Deposits and Pay now
Ask for a deposit on any job. Clients pay by card or bank transfer through your own Stripe account, and you always see what's paid and what's still owed.
Ready for your accountant
Income, expenses and profit by month and by category. At year end, export a summary and every line for your accountant.
Easy switch from QuickBooks
Bring your customers, saved items, invoices and past transactions from a QuickBooks export.
Made for your phone
Upload, invoice and check your numbers from the job site. Works in any browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
