So… what is bookkeeping?

No, it’s not something librarians do. Logging transactions, keeping receipts – all small businesses need to do bookkeeping, even if you have an accountant. That’s why Holvi makes it easy.

  • Manage income & expenses
  • Get business insights
  • Prepare accounting for taxes

Imagine it’s tax time…

Your accountant calls asking for your receipts and transaction details. Where’s that shoebox again? Oh no!

You curl into a ball of stress, overwhelmed by the chaos of self-employed taxes.

Luckily, this isn’t you!

Whew, just a bad dream. Actually, you’ve recorded all your transactions effortlessly in Holvi throughout the year.

Each transaction is tagged with data and prepped for you or your accountant to quickly submit your annual tax returns.

So… you just invite your accountant to Holvi or export data for seamless handover!
