How it works

Your books, kept current. Here's how.

Four steps. Most of the work is your CPA's.

  1. Tell us about your business.

    Fill out a short form or book a 15-minute call. We'll ask what you do, how many bank accounts you have, and how far behind the books are. Then we pick a plan together. No commitment to start the conversation.

  2. Your CPA sets up your books.

    Before you ever log in, your CPA sets up your accounts, customers, vendors and opening balances, and brings in your bank activity from the statements you upload. You log in to books that are ready to use.

  3. You answer only what only you know.

    Bank rules categorize the routine lines. For the rest, Libra suggests a category based on how you categorized before and shows you why. What's left for you is short: what a check was for, whether a lunch was with a client. On Assisted and Full-Service, your CPA handles the questions first and only sends you the ones that need you.

  4. Your statements stay current.

    Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, live whenever you look. Print them, or export to Excel. On Assisted and up, your CPA reviews your books every month.
