Zoho Corporation is not a committed banking casework aggregation like Intuit is. Instead, it’s a developer of cloud-based apps for businesses. One of its artefact is Zoho Books, an accounting affairs that meets the lion’s allotment of baby business needs—and more. Zoho Books’ usability, flexibility, and abyss in accepted accounting areas like sales and purchases, time and action tracking, and annual management, equals and sometimes surpasses what’s offered by competitors. It additionally provides added advice assets than best rivals, which is analytical in accounting.
Among baby business accounting websites, Zoho Books is an aberrant value. In fact, its absolute infrastructure, accumulated with countless new appearance and enhancements it has added back our aftermost analysis position it in a affectionate of capricious phase. We still accede it a solid best for baby businesses, but its abode is alpha to aggrandize upmarket, too. It may eventually attempt with solutions such as NetSuite and Sage Intacct.
That said, Zoho arise a new chargeless adaptation of Zoho Books that may abode to actual baby businesses that don’t apperception alive about functionality they don’t charge (like added fields in forms), or that accept affairs for growth. The bigger annual back our aftermost analysis is the site’s affiliation with SurePayroll. Users in all 50 US states now accept admission to excellent, absolute bulk tools. Zoho continues to assignment on its centralized bulk appliance and now supports businesses in added states with that offering.
Zoho Books has afflicted its cable tiers and appraisement anatomy back our aftermost review.

It’s able-bodied for a no-fee application, alms appearance like customizable multilingual invoicing, applicant portals, acquittal gateways, and expense/mileage tracking. You can’t affix to your banks and acceptation transactions, however, which is a above drawback. You can alone acceptation statements.
After a 14-day chargeless balloon to Zoho Books, you can subscribe to the Accepted Plan for $12 per alignment per month, which includes aggregate in the chargeless adaptation added a added acceptable absolute on invoices (5,000 annually). Added appearance accommodate alternating and action bulk tracking, projects, custom fields, time bedding and billing, and predefined user roles (three users are allowed).

What you pay for Zoho Books is abundant lower than the bulk of Editors’ Best champ QuickBooks Online Plus. QuickBooks Online starts at $25 per month. Its abutting coffer up, which adds billing, assorted users, and time-tracking capabilities, costs $50 per month. The $80-per-month Added plan offers abounding action and annual tracking.
As accession point of comparison, Sage 50cloud Accounting’s amateur akin lists for $56.08 per month.
Since I aftermost advised it, Zoho Books has congenital dozens of baby changes that advance adaptability and usability, forth with abounding above changes. The armpit now offers custom reports, QR cipher abutment in invoices, bigger auto-scan for agenda banking abstracts like receipts, and added affiliation with added accompanying Zoho websites.
Last year back we advised Zoho Books, it alone had bulk abutment for companies that were congenital in California, New York, and Texas and that had advisers who lived in those states. Zoho Bulk is additionally now accessible for Florida, and the aggregation has accustomed aboriginal admission to Washington, Illinois, North Carolina, Kansas, and Tennessee. The bulk is $19 per ages added $3 per employee. Added states are in the works.
Zoho’s affiliation with SurePayroll is a above move back our aftermost review. It agency that Zoho Books barter in all 50 states can get accomplished chip bulk capabilities. You accept to assurance up for SurePayroll, of course, but all the all-important bulk abstracts moves from SurePayroll to Zoho Books seamlessly. Sure Bulk costs $29.99 per month, added $5 per agent per ages for the Abounding Account plan, and beneath for a Self Account plan. For comparison, QuickBooks Bulk starts at $45 per ages added $4 per agent per ages and goes up to $125 per ages added $10 per employee.
Zoho Books’ bureaucracy walks you through a alternation of screens afterwards you actualize an annual and helps you configure some claimed settings. You can revisit the Settings options afterwards if you prefer, admitting it’s a acceptable abstraction to accumulation this advice upfront. You alpha by accouterment acquaintance and pertinent sales tax information. Some features, like invoices and expenses, are included on the armpit by default, but you can accept which added modules you’d like to activate, such as inventory, acquirement orders, and time sheets. If you’re a actual baby business, you may appetite to about-face some of these off to abbreviate any accidental features.
A bureaucracy adviser suggests accomplishments you should take, forth with educational videos and links to the adapted pages. These accommodate abutting with acquittal gateways, configuring user roles and permissions, modifying the Blueprint of Accounts, and abacus custom fields. It’s a abundant anterior awning that helps you body a foundation for your accounting abstracts and activities.
There’s still added to do in the site’s Preferences section. Actuality you appointment is a massive annual with several sub-lists. No added baby business accounting website break bottomward its functions for bureaucracy in this abundant detail, because no added armpit I advised is as adjustable or feature-rich. Booty the time to analysis out the settings for every bore you plan to use to booty abounding advantage of Zoho Books’ aberrant functionality. If you’re a actual baby business, you adeptness acquisition all these options overwhelming. Abounding won’t akin administer to you.
I can’t absolutely acclaim the chargeless adaptation aboveboard to sole proprietors and freelancers, in allotment because it doesn’t acceptation coffer transactions. They adeptness do bigger with a simpler chargeless appliance like Wave or Sunrise. But baby and midsize businesses can annual from the customizability congenital into every bend of Zoho Books.
Part of the bureaucracy involves creating annal for contacts and items. You can do it as you go, but it takes beneath time to actualize transaction forms if you set them up aboriginal on. You can, of course, admission aggregate manually, but why would you back there’s little abstracts you can’t acceptation into Zoho Books. The armpit lets you download sample files to ensure that your mapping is correct, and afresh you can acceptation contacts, annual records, and sales/purchase affairs in CSV and a scattering of added all-around formats, depending on what you’re
importing.
Zoho Books’ dashboard provides added banking advice than the dashboard in Kashoo, but it’s not as alternate as Xero’s. Accepted and behind receivables/payables and banknote breeze arise at the top in both numbers and graphs. Beneath that is a customizable blueprint comparing assets and expenses, and an accounting of your top expenses. Action cachet and annual balances, forth with an annual watch list, annular out the screen’s data.
In its interface, Zoho Books is apple-pie and accessible to understand, admitting how abysmal the site’s appearance are. It’s not as adorable and automatic as FreshBooks. The larboard vertical breadth displays aeronautics links to Zoho Books’ anatomic areas: Dashboard, Items, Banking, Sales, Purchases, Time Tracking, Accountant, Reports, and Documents. A articulation to Bulk opens in a abstracted screen. Some of these links booty you beeline to a alive page, while others affectation a submenu of options. An able aggregate of buttons, drop-down lists, fill-in-the-blank fields, and checkboxes accomplish aeronautics and abstracts admission options absolutely clear.
Click the baby accessory figure and a card opens with links to abundant settings screens, including Currencies, Taxes, Templates, Reminders, and Automation (automation options accept been added in the aftermost brace of years and now accommodate custom functions). There’s additionally a articulation to a folio that lists all the deeply congenital integrations that Zoho Books has with added applications, besides its own Zoho-branded clothing of tools, such as Microsoft 365, Gmail, Yearli (1099 filing), Slack, and Square. You can additionally affix with Amazon, eBay, and Etsy.
A articulation to Advice assets additionally appears in the upper-right allotment of the screen. Zoho Books’ abundant advice accoutrement (like FAQs, documentation, and forums) are at atomic commensurable with those offered by Xero, which has some of the best abutment options I’ve seen. You can additionally acquaintance experts via chat, phone, and email, but Zoho Books does not accept the massive arrangement of experts at its auctioning that QuickBooks and Xero accept congenital up over the years. Regardless, its basin is absolutely admirable for a artefact that alone came out in 2011. The aggregation is accretion its efforts in this area, so you can apprehend to see added admiral available.
Customer and bell-ringer annal are awfully detailed. You admission your primary acquaintance capacity at the top of anniversary record, afresh move bottomward to a called window beneath that lets you toggle amid tax and acquittal details, address, acquaintance persons, custom fields, advertisement tags, and remarks. No added baby business accounting apparatus I’ve looked at lets you actualize up to 46 custom fields for records, and not one of them supports such absolute profiles for contacts.
Once you body some acquaintance records, you can appearance anniversary in a window that is, already again, bigger than Zoho Books’ rivals. The annal appearance key acquaintance advice on the absence screen, as able-bodied as numbers and graphs for receivables/payables and income/expenses—kind of like a mini-dashboard for anniversary customer. There’s additionally a timeline, agnate to an analysis trail, for the accepted contact, and a box with added capacity like Currency and Portal Accent so you can acquaint with contacts in their adopted language. Tabs actuality accessible added types of accompanying content, like Affairs (by form), Mails (you can affix Gmail, Outlook, or Zoho Mail), and Statements.
Inventory administration capabilities are additionally commensurable to the antagonism and bigger than most. Annual annal accommodate accepted fields (sales and acquirement description, rates/selling prices, and accounts), but you can additionally actualize and use units of measure. If you announce that you appetite to clue inventory, you can complete fields for aperture stock, aperture banal bulk per unit, alter point, and adopted vendor. Invoices afresh affectation the cardinal accessible back you admission an item. You can additionally calmly set up bulk lists and acclimatize annual levels. QuickBooks Online offers agnate annual flexibility, and it goes a footfall beyond, acceptance the bundling of items (assemblies). You accept to subscribe to Zoho Books’ Annual add-on to get this feature.
Zoho Books offers added transaction types and added adjustable forms than any added baby business accounting app I’ve reviewed. Above the accepted sales forms that competitors support, it includes accommodation invoices, commitment notes, and packing slips. Invoices can accommodate fields for aircraft accuse and adjustments in accession to discounts and sales tax. Acquirement transactions—expenses, bills, acquirement orders, and so on—are analogously abundant and flexible. Like records, transaction forms can accommodate up to 46 custom fields, which is altered to Zoho Books. Zoho has added an avant-garde new apparatus to its antithesis templates back my aftermost review. You can configure a QR cipher that will arise on PDF versions of your invoices. Your barter could, for example, admission your acquittal awning or your website by scanning it.
No added artefact at this band-aid akin offers automatic workflows like Zoho Books does. This apparatus comes with a bit of a acquirements curve—in fact, it’s circuitous unless you’ve formed with multisegment formulas before—but it can be absolutely useful. You could, for example, specify that you appetite the sales administrator to accept an email active back an appraisal bulk is afflicted by added than $250. That’s a simple example—you can actualize formulas with akin added altitude and results.
Zoho added certificate administration to its all-embracing toolbox a few years ago. Scan abstracts such as bills and bulk receipts and upload them to Zoho Books, or accept audience email them anon to your altered inbox. The apparatus automatically reads the date, merchant name, amount, description, and bulk class (after Zoho Books recognizes a arrangement for analysis or aloof automatically “knows”) and enters that advice in transaction forms; you complete the rest. Fifty scans per ages are included in your cable fee, but you can acquirement more.
The armpit has additionally added bell-ringer portals. Like the chump portals that were already available, bell-ringer portals can save time and advance advice with your suppliers. Your vendors can see the capacity of acquirement orders and invoices anytime, and clue payments. They can upload affairs to you and accomplish a customizable account of accounts. You and your vendors can both column comments so you can assignment calm on outstanding issues.
Zoho Books integrates able-bodied with the action administration software Zoho Projects, although you can do a lot aloof by appliance the accoutrement you get in Zoho Books. To ascertain a project, you accord it a name, baddest the billable customer, and accept a announcement adjustment (fixed bulk or based on hour, task, or staff). You can afresh add a budget, added users, and alone tasks, as able-bodied as up to 46 custom fields. Anniversary action has its own homepage, from which you can add hours formed (automatically timed or entered manually) and appearance lists of accompanying purchases and sal
es. You can bound see whether all billable hours accept been billed; area you angle with your budget; and your profitability. You can crave approvals by the action administrator or applicant and set a best cardinal of hours per day that can be logged. No added baby business accounting website offers this affectionate of action abyss and customizability.
Tasks on the time area are consistently affiliated to a chump and project, which would be a botheration if you were appliance time tracking in affiliation with bulk or to bill barter for one-off jobs. So, if you charge that affectionate of flexibility, you charge to subscribe to a armpit like QuickBooks Online.
Considering Zoho Books’ depth, flexibility, and affiliation abilities, you’d apprehend that it would action an appropriately absorbing slate of reports. And you’d be right. The apparatus offers dozens of letters in every category, from sales and purchases to receivables and payables to projects and activity. There’s a accumulation of avant-garde letters advised for accountants; it includes an added General Ledger, Journal Report, and Balloon Balance.
General letters are now added advantageous because of bigger angle and filters that abutment bigger customization. You can adapt letters by date ambit and usually one or added added angle (like transaction type, status, accumulation by), but it’s the new avant-garde filters begin in some letters that absolutely let you carve bottomward your abstracts set to aloof the adapted result. You aboriginal baddest a filter, whose options change for anniversary report, afresh announce a comparator (such as “is” or “contains”), and admission your ambition value. You can additionally appearance or adumbrate columns for abounding reports. Zoho Books allows you to agenda address distributions by date and time, sending them to email recipients in PDF, CSV, or XLS format. A new Custom Address advantage gives you akin added flexibility.
