ZipBooks

ZipBooks is an accounting suite that is suitable for both individuals and businesses. The program has four features which are categorized as accounting, billing, intelligence, and expenses. The accounting function of the program allows accountant access, connection to bank accounts, and management of accounts receivable. It is also possible to create useful accounting reports such as a balance sheet and general ledger. This feature of the program is most applicable to businesses. Business owners can efficiently monitor both income and expenses. Credit card processing is easily integrated into the billing set of features. It is also possible to customize invoices. Users can choose from a selection of colors, and branding is easy. Custom logos and contact information can be added to invoices. The program also provides something known as an Invoice Quality Score. This rating is gleaned from more than 200,000 invoices. It points out areas where business owners can improve their billing procedures. There is also a Business Health Score feature which can help users assess the solvency of their business at a glance. ZipBooks offers personalized and optimized recommendations which help to improve the accounting process. These features can be located in the intelligence section of the software. Expense management allows the user to save receipts, manage vendors, and record and allocate all expenses. Everything can be seen in one simple interface. Setting up the program only takes a few minutes, and the learning curve is not substantial. Those who have had experience with other accounting platforms will find this program very easy to master. There are some drawbacks to using ZipBooks. A bill pay feature would be nice to have, and the ability to process payroll would make it possible for business owners to eliminate other costly software. There is currently no version available for Android devices. Still, this program is a viable solution for small businesses who want to maintain control of their finances. The paid plans for the software begin at just $15 per month. This is very affordable when compared with similar programs.
