Free QuickBooks Alternative for Contractors

The Most Affordable Contracting Accounting App

We know, you’re skeptical. How can a platform with all of the features of QuickBooks be free? There are no tricks and no gimmicks here – our founders simply felt the pain of expensive DIY accounting solutions that didn’t get the job done and decided to build a better solution.

In addition to fast payments, free invoices, and on-the-go access, here are a few other features you’ll get access to with your free ZipBooks account:

Linked Accounts – Easily connect your bank account and view every transaction – in and out – as it happens. This way, you’ll always know exactly how much you have to invest in your next ad campaign.

Effortless Time Tracking (Paid Feature after Trial Period) – If you bill hourly, ZipBooks allows you to track time spent on each project, set different rates for different clients, and even calculates how much you need to invoice. Have additional team members? You can set different rates depending on the skill level of your employees, too.

Late Payment Reminders (Free!) – If you have more than a few clients, it can get tedious and downright painful to try to remember when you sent invoices and who has and has not paid you. Outsource the annoyance to ZipBooks by setting up auto-reminders so your clients never forget to pay, and so you always get paid on time.

Accept Credit Cards (Free!) – Studies have shown that small businesses get paid significantly faster when they offer the option to pay by credit card, and with ZipBooks, it’s easy. Simply choose which credit card options you’d like to offer and set it as the default for all of your invoices.

QuickBooks was designed to be a desktop software solution for Windows users, meaning if you use any other operating system or need to access your accounting software on any device other than your office computer, you’re out of luck.

Fortunately, ZipBooks was designed to be a completely cloud-based accounting software solution that works on any modern browser. Add in an intuitive app that you can use whether you’re on a build site or at home in bed, and you’ll never need another accounting app.
