What Books does for you

Books is for small business owners who want clean records without learning accounting. You import your bank statement, sort each line with a suggestion or a rule, and get a clear profit and loss in minutes.

If you use WAI Invoices, the Online Store or Inventory, your sales and costs come in on their own and are counted once. Books helps you keep records; it is not tax advice.

Import your bank statement

Upload a CSV or OFX file from your bank. We map the columns, spot possible duplicates and let you undo an import.

Suggestions and rules

Each line comes with a suggested category based on your rules and past choices. Make a rule once and similar lines sort themselves.

Bills and reconciling

Track bills from your vendors, get reminders in your WAI bell before they are due and mark them paid. Reconcile each account against your statement every month.

Reports you can read

Profit and loss with comparisons, balance sheet, cash flow, sales tax, spending, money owed to you and by you, and a general ledger, as CSV or PDF.

Ready for your accountant

Export to QuickBooks or Xero formats, or a general ledger CSV. On Business, invite your accountant to view or edit your books.

Questions

Does Books connect to my bank automatically?

Not today. You download a CSV or OFX file from your online banking and import it. A live bank feed is not available yet.

Will sales from my other WAI apps be counted twice?

No. Pulled payments wait in a holding account until the bank deposit arrives, then we match the two. Possible duplicates are flagged for you.

What happens after 50 transactions on Free?

Your records and reports stay as they are. New lines you add or import wait until next month or until you upgrade, and sales pulled from other WAI apps keep coming in.

Is Books tax advice?

No. Books keeps tidy records and runs reports like sales tax and profit and loss. Ask your accountant or tax adviser what to file.
