About TapBooks

TapBooks helps small business owners stay organized without the complexity of traditional accounting software. We built it because bookkeeping should feel calm, simple and approachable.

Most tools in this category are designed for accountants. TapBooks is designed for the people running the business: owners who want clear records, less admin, and a straightforward handoff when tax season arrives.

The problem we saw

Every business owner knows the feeling. You know you should keep your bookkeeping organized, but your options aren't exactly inspiring.

You either end up with a spreadsheet that becomes harder to manage as your business grows, or you open bookkeeping software that immediately starts talking about journals, reconciliations, and charts of accounts. Instead of helping you, it expects you to already know accounting.

That's great if bookkeeping is your profession. But if you're running a business, your time is better spent serving customers, building your company, and doing the work you actually enjoy, not trying to figure out accounting software.

We don't think keeping your books should feel like studying for an accounting exam. It should be simple enough that you can stay on top of your finances a few minutes at a time, every week, without the stress.

What TapBooks does

TapBooks helps you capture receipts, send invoices, organize your expenses, and keep everything in one place throughout the year. When tax time comes, you can export everything your accountant needs in just a few clicks.

We believe bookkeeping should be simple, not stressful. That's why we focus on a calm, easy workflow you can stick to all year, not software that only makes sense when it's time to file your taxes.

Who built this

TapBooks was created by Jochem Smid, an entrepreneur who believes bookkeeping software shouldn't require you to study accounting before you can use it.

Business owners should spend their time building products, serving customers, and growing their business, not wrestling with complicated bookkeeping software. TapBooks was built to make bookkeeping feel simple, calm, and approachable, so you can stay organized without the stress.
