Basic Bookkeeping is an intuitive software that replaces traditional double entry with a simple single entry method for recording income and expenses. The software generates reports for business analysis, tax reporting, and even supports check printing.

For most small businesses, including independent contractors, sole proprietors, partnerships, and S-corporations, the single entry method is well suited. The program prioritizes functionality over glitzy graphics, reducing input time and errors. Many users have expressed appreciation for the elegant simplicity of Basic Bookkeeping after finding other systems, such as QuickBooks, to be bloated and frustrating.
Basic Bookkeeping features a comprehensive set of reports that are instantly available to help with business decisions. The reports are clear, concise, and designed to organize income and expense information to support analysis of business activities and tax preparation by either the user or their accountant. As one satisfied user noted: “Your program is exactly what I've needed. I've struggled with QuickBooks for a number of years. It is WAY more complicated than what I need. As a one-man business with perhaps twenty transactions per month, Basic Bookkeeping is much better suited to my needs.”
The latest version of Basic Bookkeeping, Version 7, includes several new features. Users can now print expense checks directly from within the program, simply by entering the expense amount, filling in the check, and printing it ready to mail. Additionally, Version 7 allows users to track mileage and print mileage logs.
For small business owners who want to manage their money intelligently, Basic Bookkeeping is a smart choice. With this program, you can stay on top of your finances, make informed business decisions, and prepare for tax season with ease.
