WHAT BAOBOOKS DOES

The everyday essentials.
In one place.

Practical tools for the admin between
doing the work and getting paid.

01 / CUSTOMERS

Remember the details.

Keep contact details and customer information together, ready for the next conversation or repeat order.

02 / QUOTES & INVOICES

Make it official.

Create clear, professional quotes and invoices, with the details you need to move from an enquiry to a sale.

03 / PAYMENTS

Know where you stand.

Record payments and customer advances, apply available balances to invoices, and see what still needs a follow-up.

04 / ORDERS & DELIVERIES

From order to collection.

Plan one-off or standing orders, reserve tracked stock, prepare delivery runs and record collection and payment outcomes.

FOR ACCOUNTANTS & BOOKKEEPERS

Better records.
Better conversations.

Good handovers start long before month-end.

Client records stay organised as they are made, and spreadsheet and PDF exports make it easier to hand a set of them over.

And we'd rather ask what you need than assume. If you work with small businesses, we'd love your input on the records, formats and workflows that would make a real difference.

Help shape BaoBooks

BaoBooks is in an invitation-only pilot. Accountant handover tools are being shaped through feedback.
