About Bookkeeping for One

When designing BK1, we asked ourselves "if magic were possible, what would this software do?".

The answer was simple, if magic were possible, then small businesses would not need accounting software, their monthly or quarterly reports would simply appear.

We aim to make BK1 as invisible to you as possible. When we are done, the software will be so beautiful to look at and elegant to use that you hardly know it's there.

To prepare your monthly, quarterly or annual accounts , you drag & drop PDF bank statements into BK1. The transactions are read from the statements using our advanced optical character recognition software and saved to BK1 on your computer.

As data is read from your PDF bank statements to BK1, the transaction descriptions are matched against our extensive database and assigned to chart of account categories. This means takes about three mouse clicks to convert a PDF bank statement into a profit & loss, cash flow or BAS report for your business.
