What you get

Your books shouldn't eat your weekends.

Most owners don't want to "do accounting." They want answers. DYOB is built around the three you need most.

Know where you stand

Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet and cash, all tied to one profit number, so the reports always agree. Open them any day, not just at tax time.

Get paid faster

See who owes you, grouped by client, with anything overdue highlighted. Record a payment in a click and watch the total drop.

Stop sorting the same lines

Import your bank statement and your rules do the sorting: Adobe goes to software, the landlord to rent. Teach it once and it remembers.

How it works

From shoebox to clear numbers in three steps.

  1. 1

    Bring your books

    Import bank statements from any bank (CSV, OFX or QFX) and start from where you are. Switching from QuickBooks? We'll help you move.

  2. 2

    Let your rules sort

    Match payments to invoices and bills, and let rules put everything else where it belongs. You check, it learns.

  3. 3

    Know your numbers

    Profit, cash, sales tax and who owes what, ready whenever you are, and ready for your accountant at year end.

AI assistant

An assistant that asks before it touches your books.

Connect the AI you already use with a secure key. It can read your books, answer questions and prepare entries. Nothing is posted until you approve it in your Inbox.

  • Keys can be read-only, or allowed to suggest changes
  • Every suggestion shows what it will do, and why
  • Approve, reject, or ask for changes. You stay in charge.

Online or desktop

Your books, where you want them.

Same app, same features, same price. Choose where your data lives, and change your mind any time.

Online

Open your books from any browser, anywhere. Nothing to install, nothing to update, backed up for you.

Desktop

Your books live on your own computer and work without internet. Your file, your machine, your backups. Subscribe, or buy it once for $499.

For owners with more than one brand

Every DBA, one set of books.

Run a few trade names under one company? Give each its own logo, colors and invoice footer. Every sale and bill remembers which brand it belongs to, and your books stay in one place.

For resellers and drop-shippers

Sold it? Order it in one click.

Turn a customer's sales order into a purchase order for your supplier, with the same lines, shipped straight to your customer. Or start from the purchase and create the sale. The two stay linked, so you always know what's been ordered for whom.

  • Pick the supplier and the ship-to address, and you're done
  • Works both ways: sales order to purchase order, and back
  • Each document links to the other

For you, too

Your own balance sheet. Your own income statement.

DYOB keeps books for any entity: a business, a trust, a household, or just you. Track what you own and owe and where your money goes, with the same real accounting a business gets, not a budgeting app's guesses.

  • Net worth at a glance: every account, card, loan and investment
  • Income and spending by category, month by month
  • Your business and your personal books, side by side, each kept separate

On QuickBooks Desktop?

Support is ending. Your books don't have to move to a subscription you didn't choose.

QuickBooks Desktop 2024, the last regular version, loses support on September 30, 2027. Keep your books on your own computer with DYOB Desktop, or move online. It's your call.

Built by an owner

Made while running a real business on it.

DYOB was built inside a working small business, with real invoices, real bills, real sales tax and several brands under one roof. Every feature exists because that business needed it.

I'm not an accountant. Is this for me?

Yes. That's the point. You work with plain things like invoices, bills and bank lines. DYOB keeps the debits and credits right behind the scenes, and your accountant gets clean reports at year end.

What happens to my data if I leave?

It's yours. Export everything at any time. With Desktop, your books are a file on your own computer, and they still open read-only if you ever cancel.

Is it only for businesses?

No. DYOB keeps books for any entity: a business of any size, a trust, a household, or just you. Each entity has its own books, so your company and your personal finances stay separate.

Can I connect my bank?

Today you import statements from any bank as CSV, OFX or QFX, and your rules sort them. Automatic bank feeds are on the way, and Founding Members get them first.

Does it handle sales tax?

Yes. Set your rates, and DYOB tracks what you collected and paid, with a sales tax report by period, ready for your return.

Does it do payroll?

Not yet. Keep your payroll provider for now and record payroll in your books. Payroll is on our roadmap.

What does it cost?

One plan with everything: $29 per month for each entity (a business, a trust, or you), with unlimited DBAs, or $290 per year (2 months free). Founding Members pay $19 per month or $190 per year, for life. Prefer to own it? Buy DYOB Desktop once for $499. Start with 30 days free and no credit card. See pricing.
