Features

Everything a growing business needs to run its books

Sales, purchases, stock and finance live in one place, so you stop copying numbers between spreadsheets and tools.

GST invoicing

Create GST invoices with CGST, SGST and IGST worked out for you. Choose from print-ready templates and issue credit notes for returns.

Purchases & vendors

Record purchase entries, track what you owe each vendor, and handle purchase returns with debit notes.

Inventory

Stock updates with every sale, purchase and return. Track items issued out and goods in the repair center.

Expenses

Log daily expenses by category and payment account. Print vouchers, and catch cash short or excess before it piles up.

Ledgers & accounts

See receivables, payables, bank and cash accounts, assets and liabilities, and drill down to every entry behind a balance.

Financial reports

Get your trading account, profit & loss and balance sheet, including GST payable, straight from your entries. Export to PDF.

Team & access

Invite your staff, assign roles, and decide who can see or edit each module and field. Check active devices at a glance.

Made to fit you

Rename labels, set your own document numbering, reorder the menu, pick an invoice style, and switch on dark mode.

How it works

Enter each transaction once

AltBooks carries every entry through to stock, ledgers and reports for you.

  1. Buy

    Record a purchase. The vendor's payable and the GST input are updated straight away.

  2. Stock

    Move purchased goods into inventory at cost, ready to sell.

  3. Sell

    Raise a GST invoice. Stock goes down and the customer's receivable goes up.

  4. Report

    Open your P&L and balance sheet at any time, with nothing to reconcile.
