Everything you need

Bookkeeping essentials, nothing more

Built for real business owners, not accountants. Every feature earns its place.

Transaction Management

Import from bank CSV files or add manually. Categorize, search, filter, split, and review - with bulk actions to move fast.

Sales & Invoicing

Create professional invoices, track open balances, and record payments. Print-ready PDF output included.

Purchases & Bills

Track vendor bills, due dates, and payment history. Stay on top of what you owe without spreadsheets.

Financial Reports

Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports with flexible date ranges. Drill into any line item. Export to CSV or PDF.

Multiple Organizations

Manage several businesses or non-profits from one app. Switch instantly - each with its own books and settings.

Flexible Tagging

Tag transactions by project, client, grant, fund, or event - then filter and report on each. The cross-account tracking most apps lock behind paid tiers, included free.

See it in action

Perfect when bookkeeping isn't your day job

Whether you update your books monthly or quarterly, BeanSprout makes it quick to log transactions, pull a basic P&L or balance sheet, and send the occasional invoice - then get back to your actual work.

Built for your desktop

A real app, not a web portal

BeanSprout runs natively on your machine. Fast, offline-first, and your data stays in your hands.

Instant, native speed

It opens the moment you click - no browser tabs, no loading spinners, no waiting on someone else's server.

Works fully offline

Do your books on a plane, at the cabin, or with the Wi-Fi down - an internet connection is never required.

Private by default

Your books live in a local file you own and control - BeanSprout never sends your financial data to our servers.
