Extension summary

Beautiful and powerful accounting software for small businesses.

The latest in online accounting: ZipBooks takes the pain out of keeping your books, with simple bank connect, intelligent auto-categorization, and beautiful color-coded reports.

Online invoicing for the smart business owner: ZipBooks provides an effortless way to do your billing. Send beautiful and professional invoices, track as customers view them, and take online credit card payments through Square or Stripe. Set up recurring invoices and payments with ease, and send receipts to your customers when they pay you. You can even import tracked time into invoices and have all of the calculations done and line items created automatically.

Track time and project info anywhere: our beautiful and flexible time tracker allows you to keep your own hours and employee hours with the click of a button. Assign time to customers, projects, internal initiatives, or nothing at all. When you're ready, automatically export time to invoices. ZipBooks will automatically track which time entries you've been paid for, and let you easily track which you've paid to employees.

Ability to charge credit cards: simply set up a leading payment processor like Stripe or Square to ZipBooks, and let customers pay you online or in person with credit cards, all synced automatically to your books so you don't have to do any extra record-keeping.

Collaborative tools: add multiple team members to ZipBooks, and set permissions so they just have access to what you want them to -- whether they do bookkeeping, time tracking, or billing for your company. You can also give your accountant access and easily share documents.

Beautiful dashboards: ZipBooks' interface was designed for you to get all of the crucial information you need without needing to dig into reports (though of course, you can do that too with our powerful reporting functionality). Once you start using ZipBooks, its interface will light up with intuitive, simple and insightful dashboards showing you exactly where you're at.

Hassle free software: All you need to do to access ZipBooks is sign up with your email or using your Google single sign-on. No downloads, no installation, no long signup process. And we’re always working on improving the ZipBooks software and site, so we’ll continue to add and update features to keep your finances running as smoothly as possible.

Not much positive I can say about this one. There's no way to enter expenses manually. Everything has to be downloaded from your bank. Yikes. Think about his a moment. Who is on the other side? You've turned over banking and password information to a totally unknown entity who might or might not be playing by the rules. Do you know where the company is located? Do we know who management is if there is a breach? No and no as far as I can tell. I think I'll pass on this bargain for the time being.

This software can log any transaction as long as you know some basic accounting, and more importantly structure usuable reports in any way you need. I pay $150 a month to QuickBooks and would rather pay $300 to Zipbooks due to how easy and user friendly it is. The only problem is that it cannot download transactions properly from my bank, RBC, on the day to day basis. It will download correctly on the initial load. The staff say it's a problem with my bank, but considering QuickBooks can download them correctly every time, it's more of a problem with Zipbooks. However, Zipbooks blames a third party software after being called out on it. This would be my only software accounting solution, if it could download my transactions, and I would push this on all of my family/friends if it could.

Holy smokes!! I am starting a new business and I am so glad I came across this platform first before trying anything else. I already know this is the right solution for me. Day 1.
