ZipBooks
Simple accounting software that makes you even smarter
ZipBooks is accounting, invoicing, and billing software for small businesses, combining bookkeeping with expense tracking, bank connections, time tracking, and reporting. It handles one-time and recurring billing, automated payment reminders, and reconciliation, while auto-categorization and smart tagging organize transactions by location, project, or custom tags.
Core capabilities include Bank Connect for daily transaction and balance imports, Time Tracking that feeds entries into invoices, Team Management with permissions for invoicing, accounting, and time tracking, and a Mobile Accounting experience via mobile web or a native app. Reporting covers income statements, balance sheets, cash and accrual switching, and tag-based custom reports, with an Intelligence layer providing insights and predictions. Payments integrate with Square, PayPal, Stripe, and similar processors, and Gusto is listed as an integration.
Plans are packaged as a free Starter tier, paid Smarter and Sophisticated editions with free trials, and an Accountant plan for accounting and bookkeeping service firms. Smarter and Sophisticated include a set number of team members, while Sophisticated offers unlimited users; the Accountant edition adds client management, bulk edits, cobranding, and data migration.
