Everything in one app

Eight workspaces that cover your whole financial life

From a single transaction to a full cash-flow forecast โ€” every part of Budget Books connects to the next.

๐Ÿ 

Overview

Your home base. Net worth, this month's cash flow, what's over budget and bills coming up โ€” with quick actions to record a transaction or import a bank CSV.

๐Ÿ“’

Ledger

Every account and balance in one place. Log income, expenses and transfers, and use Charge / Borrow to track credit-card purchases and loans with per-account interest.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

Monthly

A simple checklist for each month. Tick off recurring income and bills as they land โ€” and each one posts straight to your ledger.

๐Ÿงพ

Invoices (A/R)

Create and email invoices to clients, then track who's paid and who's overdue, with full accounts-receivable aging.

๐Ÿ“ฅ

Bills (A/P)

Record bills from vendors and keep an eye on what's still outstanding, with accounts-payable aging so nothing slips.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Contacts

Every customer and vendor you invoice or pay, in one searchable place. Filter by type or group, sort by name, and edit in a tap.

๐ŸŽฏ

Budgets

Set a monthly target for each category โ€” with sub-categories โ€” and watch your actual spending stack up against it as the month unfolds.

๐Ÿ“Š

Reports

Pick any date range and watch every chart update โ€” spending and income breakdowns, net worth over time, and a cash-flow forecast.

โฌ‡๏ธ

Export anything

Download your numbers as PDF, CSV or JSON, plus a detailed summary file โ€” your data is always yours to take with you.

Never miss a bill

A monthly checklist that does the bookkeeping for you

Your recurring income and bills show up as a tidy list each month. Tick one off as it's received or paid, and Budget Books posts it to your ledger automatically โ€” no double entry, no forgotten payments.

  • โœ“ Recurring income, bills and transfers, scheduled once
  • โœ“ Move between months with a single tap
  • โœ“ Interest and fees posted automatically each month

Stay on target

See spending against your plan, while there's still time to react

Give every category a monthly target and Budget Books shows your progress in real time โ€” green while you're on track, red the moment you tip over. Sub-categories roll up so the big picture stays clear.

  • โœ“ Per-category targets with nested sub-categories
  • โœ“ Live "spent vs. target vs. remaining" totals
  • โœ“ Over-budget categories flagged on your Overview
Look ahead

Know if you'll dip below zero โ€” before it happens

The cash-flow forecast projects your available cash forward from your scheduled income, bills and transfers. If you're heading toward $0, Budget Books flags the date so you can act early. Track net worth over time, too, with assets and debts side by side.

  • โœ“ Projected balance over the next 30โ€“90 days
  • โœ“ Clear warning when cash is projected to run low
  • โœ“ Net-worth, assets and debt trends month by month
