Clean books, kept as you trade.
Bookkeeping is not the warm-up act for tax here — it is the foundation. Everything you record is organised the moment it goes in, so your books are usable all year, not just in filing season.
What we keep for you
Sales, as they happen
Two taps, a photo of the receipt, or a whole day typed in on one sheet. Saved on your device first, so a dead network never costs you a record.
Expenses, categorised
Each expense lands in a category that already means something for tax, so nothing has to be sorted out again at year end.
Customers and suppliers
Who owes you, who you owe, how long it has been outstanding, and what was invoiced against it.
Naira and foreign currency
Record in naira, dollars, pounds or euros. The rate you used is held on the record, and every report reads the naira value.
Bank matching
Upload a statement — CSV, Excel or PDF — and we match it against what you recorded. Anything unmatched is flagged rather than quietly absorbed.
A full audit trail
Who recorded, edited or removed what, with the before and after kept. Staff can enter; only the owner can remove.
How the bookkeeping runs
Set up once
Your business, your currency, your categories. A few minutes.
Record as you trade
In the shop, in the market, offline. It syncs itself later.
Match and tidy
Bank statement in, flagged items cleared, month closed.
Use the books
Reports for the bank, and the same figures feeding your tax.
What you can put in front of someone
A bank, a partner, a big customer or your own accountant — each of these comes out of the same records, on demand, for whatever period you choose.
Profit and loss
What you earned, what it cost, what is left — for any date range.
Cash position
What has actually landed, separate from what was only promised.
Receivables and payables
Aged, so you can see what has been sitting too long.
Sales and expense ledgers
Line by line, with the source record behind each entry.
Invoices and receipts
Issued, sent and matched to payment, with PDF copies kept.
A full export, any day
CSV or PDF. If you leave, you leave with a complete set of books.
Books and tax, the same records
You never keep two sets of numbers. The sale you recorded this morning is the one that moves your VAT position, the one that shows in your profit and loss, and the one that lands in the return at the end of the period.
That is why the bookkeeping matters even if tax is the reason you came: a return is only as good as the records under it.
Who does the keeping
- You and your staff. Staff enter sales and expenses; you review, and only you can remove a record.
- Your own accountant. Invite them into your workspace with a bookkeeper or accountant role, at your own permission level.
- Handled. The add-on for filing — a licensed professional reviews what your books say and files for you. It is a review and filing service, not a data-entry service: the day-to-day recording stays with you.
Bookkeeping results, in situations you will recognise
Clean books are not an abstract virtue. They show up as a ledger that matches the till, a month that closes, and a deadline that arrives with the figure already worked out.
A market trader with no fixed network
- Before
- Sales were remembered at the end of the week and written into a notebook, so slow days got rounded up and busy days got rounded down.
- In BizBrada
- Every sale is recorded on the phone as it happens, saved on the device first, and synced whenever the network returns.
- After
- A daily sales ledger that matches the money in the till.
A contractor paid by corporate clients
- Before
- Clients deducted withholding tax and the credit notes went missing, so the deduction was silently absorbed as a loss.
- In BizBrada
- Each invoice records the withholding treatment on the line, and the withholding report lists what was deducted and by whom.
- After
- Withholding credits are visible and claimable instead of forgotten.
A shop with one busy bank account
- Before
- Nobody knew whether a transfer in the statement was a sale, a refund, or the owner moving personal money.
- In BizBrada
- The monthly statement is imported as CSV, Excel or PDF and matched against recorded entries; anything unmatched is flagged, not absorbed.
- After
- A month that closes with nothing unexplained left over.
A VAT-registered business that kept missing the 21st
- Before
- The VAT figure was worked out in a rush the week it was due, from records that were still being assembled.
- In BizBrada
- VAT is calculated from the books as they are recorded, with the deadline tracked and reminders before it lands.
- After
- The return figure is already there on the day it is needed.
A business earning in dollars and naira
- Before
- Foreign receipts were converted at whatever rate came to mind at year end, so the naira figures never held up.
- In BizBrada
- Records are entered in the currency they happened in, and the rate used is frozen on the record; reports read the naira value.
- After
- One set of figures that survives a question about how it was converted.
A business handing books to an accountant or a bank
- Before
- A bag of receipts and a spreadsheet, rebuilt at emergency rates whenever someone asked for accounts.
- In BizBrada
- Profit and loss, aged receivables and full ledgers export for any date range, with the source record behind each line.
- After
- A complete set of books produced the same day it is requested.
