The best bookkeeping tools for solopreneurs and start-ups

As a solopreneur or start-up owner, managing your books can feel overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be. The right bookkeeping software helps you stay organised, save time each week and have confidence in your financial decisions. Clear, accurate records mean fewer surprises at tax time and better insight into how your business is really performing. Here are a few options to explore:

Xero

Easy to use and made for small business owners. It’s cloud-based, so you can log in from anywhere, send invoices on the go and connect your bank account for quick reconciliations. Payroll is now built into all Xero business plans, so you can manage employee pay without extra add-ons. Auto Super is also included, making super contributions quicker, easier, and compliant.

QuickBooks Online

A great option if you want more detailed reports and insights into your cash flow. It’s flexible, user-friendly and grows with you as your business grows. 

MYOB

A long-standing favourite in Australia. It’s reliable, offers local support and has payroll features built in, which is handy once you start hiring.

When choosing, think about what matters most to you. Do you want simple invoicing? More detailed reports? Or payroll for a growing team? Try a free trial first and see what feels like the best fit.

The right software from day one will save you time and headaches later and give you the confidence to focus on running your business.
