Why it fits
Built for the way retail shops actually run money.
Income arrives from a few sources, expenses land on one or two cards, and nobody has time to categorize 12 months of it in April. ProfitBooks reads the statements, learns your vendors, and keeps the profit and loss current so quarterly taxes stop being a guess.
- Chart of accounts built for your industry from one question
- Confidence threshold: auto-finalize the obvious, review the rest
- Year-end totals by category, ready for Schedule C or your preparer
- Need a reconciled balance sheet? Full Books, $99 a month billed annually, replaces the bookkeeper
