Why PeaceBooks
Paperwork shouldn't follow you home.
You started a business to do the work you're good at, not to learn accounting. But the receipts pile up in the truck, tax time brings a shoebox and a long weekend, and the software meant to help is full of words made for accountants.
PeaceBooks is built for the person running the business. Snap the receipt before you leave the lumberyard. Tell PeaceBooks about the cash you just got paid. It reads the numbers, splits out the GST, and asks you to check them. Your records stay current every day, your accountant gets a clean year, and your evenings belong to your family.
Built for the work you do
Farms, trades and local businesses.
PeaceBooks sets itself up for the kind of work you do: the right categories, the right taxes, and the papers you actually deal with.
Farms
Feed, seed and fertilizer set up right, load slips from the elevator, and the profit of the farm next to your other work.
See how it works for you
Trades
Receipts from the lumberyard, invoices for labour and materials, and knowing which job actually made money.
See how it works for you
Small businesses
Shops, services and home businesses: cash and e-Transfers, sales tax for your province, payroll, and a bank that matches.
See how it works for you
Rentals
Each property on its own: rent in, repairs and utilities out, and how each one is really doing.
See how it works for you
Self-employed or incorporated
Sole proprietor or small corporation: paying yourself, what the company owes you, and partners who share the records.

Simple on top
Plain words every day. Full accounting underneath.
The deepest accounting words you'll see in simple mode are Income, Expenses, Profit and Payroll. Every receipt still becomes a proper double-entry record, so nothing is lost when you or your accountant need more.
- Income, expenses and profit for each business, on your phone
- Invoices, payroll and GST/HST in plain words
- Advanced mode with the full accounting, one switch away
- A year-end file in the format your accountant uses

Our story
Two friends, one simple idea.
We know the feeling of finding last month's receipts under the truck seat.
One of us does construction and flips houses. The other is a web developer who does the paperwork for his dad's small business. We built PeaceBooks because we were tired of fighting our own bookkeeping software, and because we believe good tools should protect family time, not eat it.
