As an experienced entrepreneur, I've always believed a straightforward accounting tool can transform daily operations. Who wouldn't want that edge?
Frank has handled my books for years, but I wanted more hands-on involvement—not out of boredom, but because solid bookkeeping delivers the clear financial insights essential for smart decisions.

Frank relied on a free open-source tool for years, but it fell short—lacking key features and user-friendliness. When I discovered Jortt, billed as simple accounting software, I had to test it myself. With years in business, I've evaluated many tools; here's my honest take.
First, identify your must-haves. Core needs overlap for most entrepreneurs: intuitive design, error-proof processes, and time savings. I built my business to create, not drown in admin—Jortt delivers on that promise.

Beyond these, we plan to outsource annual accounts to an accountant. But Jortt's simplicity might let us handle it in-house, cutting costs.
Jortt removes bookkeeping friction, making it accessible and even enjoyable. Drawing from bank transactions—what every business owner knows intimately—it ensures transparency and accuracy from the start.
Frank and I tested Jortt rigorously. As a veteran bookkeeper, his insights complement my entrepreneurial perspective.
Upload a 940 file from any bank (Bunq automates it). Jortt reads transactions, auto-categorizes many expenses, and links income to invoices. Your to-do list guides processing—check it off, and you're done. Intuitive automation makes it feel simple, backed by smart tech.
Frank dreaded these; now, they're trivial. Transactions feed real-time VAT data. At quarter-end, copy figures to your form—preview payable amounts anytime.
One click reveals P&L and balance sheets. Enter assets like a laptop once; Jortt depreciates over 5 years automatically.
Jortt generates them in minutes—Frank confirmed they match our accountant's output precisely. Potential accountant saver.
The to-do list eliminates guesswork. Extensive help docs and phone support shine. Aged invoices flag automatically with easy reminders. Digital inbox replaces the shoebox for receipts.
I'm sold. It demands trusting automation over manual control—at first unfamiliar, but liberating. Ideal for sole traders, small teams, or BVs.
