Your accounting software, reachable from anywhere — iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, all through a plain web browser. Share it with your accountant too. No extra apps, no per-device fees, and your books never leave your own computer.
People buy cloud accounting for one reason above all others: they want their books reachable from wherever they happen to be. You can have exactly that without handing your financial records to a vendor. BizBooks Pro installs on a computer you control and then serves its interface across the network — so your phone, your tablet and your laptop all reach the same live books through an ordinary browser, while the database itself never leaves your machine. No monthly mobile fee, no per-device charge, no second subscription.
BizBooks Pro runs on your main Windows or Mac computer. Any other device can connect through a web browser - no app installation required.

Enter your server address once - it's saved for quick access
Full access to your accounting from any location
When your phone/tablet is on the same WiFi as your BizBooks Pro computer, just enter the local IP address. Works instantly with no setup.
Install the free Tailscale app on your devices. Access BizBooks Pro from anywhere in the world - coffee shop, client site, vacation. Secure and encrypted.
Share the machine your books live on with one specific person, by email address. They need a free Tailscale account but never join your network, and you can revoke it at any time. Set it up once and it stays active.
Bring staff onto your private network so several people can work in BizBooks Pro at once, each signing in with their own account and role.
This is the objection that pushes most small businesses onto a hosted product: "my bookkeeper has to be able to get in." It is a fair requirement and it does not require giving up your data.
From the Tailscale admin page you share the specific computer your books sit on with one named person, by email. Tailscale sends the invitation; the moment they accept, an encrypted tunnel exists between their machine and yours, and they open BizBooks Pro in their browser like any other user. They do not join your network, they cannot see your other devices, and pulling the share later takes one click.
Inside the app they are still governed by the role you assign them - accountant, bookkeeper or read-only viewer - so shared access does not mean unrestricted access. Full step-by-step setup guide →
Check whether a customer has paid before you start the next call, straight from your phone at the kerb.
Reconcile on a tablet in the evening without going back to the office, working against the same live file.
They log in from their own office, post adjusting entries, and you both look at the same trial balance on a call.
Staff at another site work in the same books all day. See multi-office setups →
Add BizBooks Pro to your home screen for an app-like experience. It opens in its own window, works offline (for cached data), and feels just like a native app.
Safari → Share → "Add to Home Screen". Get a BizBooks icon right on your home screen.
Chrome → Menu → "Add to Home screen". Opens like a real app, no browser bar.

No! Just use your web browser. The only optional app is Tailscale (free) if you want remote access outside your home/office network.
Yes. Your data stays on your PC - it's never uploaded to any cloud. When using Tailscale, the connection is encrypted end-to-end.
Yes, your main computer with BizBooks Pro needs to be running for mobile devices to connect. Leave it on during work hours for full access.
Absolutely! Multiple users can access BizBooks Pro simultaneously from different devices. Each person logs in with their own account.
Share the computer your books live on with their email address from the Tailscale admin page. They accept the invitation, then sign in to BizBooks Pro in their browser with the role you assigned them. They never join your network and cannot see your other devices, and you can withdraw the share whenever you like. The setup guide walks through it.
No. Mobile and remote access are part of the software, not an add-on. There is no per-device charge and no separate mobile subscription - BizBooks Pro is licensed at one flat annual price.
The access is comparable; the custody is not. With a cloud product the vendor holds your database and your access depends on an active subscription. Here the database sits on your own machine and the browser connection simply points at it. We compare the two approaches in detail on our cloud vs self-hosted page.
Yes - the online demo runs the full application in your browser with sample books loaded. It is the same browser-served interface your own install would give you.
