Accounting software like QuickBooks — with inventory and payroll built in

Many people search for software like QuickBooks because they like how it works but need something more — better inventory, a till, Amazon, payroll across provinces, or apps for every device. SeroBooks keeps the familiar way of working and adds those things.

Works the way you expect

Menus, a Home Page, forms and reports laid out the QuickBooks Desktop way.

The QuickBooks-style forms

Write Cheques, Make Deposits, Pay Bills, Receive Payments, Credit Memos, Sales Receipts and more.

The lists you rely on

Terms, Customer:Job, classes, Price Levels, custom fields and memorized transactions.

Plus what you were missing

Inventory depth, a till, Amazon accounting and payroll, on every device.

Familiar where it counts

The first week with new software is where most switches go wrong. SeroBooks shortens it. The menu bar, the Home Page and the main forms follow the layout QuickBooks Desktop users know. Company tools are there too: Company Snapshot, Calendar, To Do List, Reminders, budgets, the Cash Flow Projector, the Lead Center and the Collections Center, Loan Manager and vehicle mileage.

Reports come in 14 groups — Company & Financial, Customers & Receivables, Sales, Vendors & Payables, Banking, Inventory and more — and you can customize how negatives and amounts show, and what the printed header says.

Different where it helps

SeroBooks is one product for the whole business. Inventory with serial lookup and expiry dates; counter sales; Amazon settlements; payroll for every Canadian province and territory and the United States; team chat; and apps for Windows, Mac, Android and the web.

It needs an internet connection, because your books live on our servers so that every device sees the same numbers.

Try it with your own data

The fastest way to know is to see your own company in it. Connect to QuickBooks Desktop or import your file, look at the dry run, and decide.

Frequently asked questions

Is SeroBooks made by Intuit?

No. SeroBooks is an independent product. QuickBooks is a trademark of Intuit Inc., and SeroBooks is not affiliated with or endorsed by Intuit.

Will my team need training?

Very little if they know QuickBooks Desktop, because the menus, forms and reports follow the same layout. In-app help is available on every screen.

Can it import from QuickBooks?

Yes — directly from QuickBooks Desktop, from an IIF file, or from QuickBooks Online exports, always with a dry run first.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial; a card starts it and nothing is charged until the trial ends.
