Invoicing and accounting software for service businesses
Simplebks helps you quote, invoice, get paid and see what you earned. You send a professional invoice, record each payment against it, and your profit is there when you want it.
It is built for people who sell time and skill: consultants, agencies, salons and barbers, clinics, photographers, event planners, cleaners, repairers and freelancers.
You can start on the Free plan at no cost. Basic adds unlimited invoices, quotations and your profit and loss report. See the pricing page for what each plan costs.
Quote and invoice in minutes
Invoices for your services. Add each service once, then pick it on any invoice. The Free plan holds up to 20 services.
Quotations. Send a quote, get it approved and convert it into an invoice. Quotations are on Basic and up.
Your branding on every document. Add your logo, brand colour and font, then download the PDF, email it or share it on WhatsApp.
Part payments and deposits. Collect a deposit when you raise the invoice and record each later payment as it arrives.
Add a discount to any invoice line.
Get paid faster
A Paystack payment link on your invoice lets customers pay online by card or transfer. Connect Paystack once, add the customer's email, and record each payment against its invoice.
Reminders go out before the due date and at 1, 7 and 30 days overdue. Statements and receivables aging (Basic and up) show who owes you and for how long.
Know where your money goes
Record expenses as you spend and attach the receipt. Every invoice, payment and expense feeds your accounts.
The profit and loss report shows what you earned, what you spent and what is left. It comes with the Basic plan.
Charge and report tax
On Professional you can add VAT to invoices and record withholding tax your customer deducts. Print a withholding tax certificate from an invoice.
The VAT Summary report shows your VAT figures for a period. Tax tools are on Professional and up.
Run jobs and clients as projects
On Professional, create a project for each client or job. Attach invoices, expenses and purchases to it and see what you invoiced, collected and spent, and the project's net balance.
Track your equipment
On Professional, record salon chairs, cameras, laptops and vehicles as fixed assets. Simplebks calculates their depreciation each month, and you can post a sale or disposal.
Selling products as well
If you sell products alongside services, put products on your invoices from the Basic plan. A till, stock in more than one location and purchase orders come with Professional.
