Accounting software that answers back
Imagine if you couldjust ask.

The 2 a.m. questions
The questions that keep owners up at night, answered by morning
Most accounting software makes you dig for answers. Realbooks lets you ask, then shows you exactly where the answer came from.
Panicking
"Profit says $80K but the bank has $12K. Where is my money?"
It went to three places.Customers owe you $41K, you paid down $18K of loan principal, and you bought a $9K truck. None of those hit profit, all of them hit cash.
Stressed
"Payroll is Friday. Do I actually have enough?"
Yes, with $6,400 to spare.Your balance dips lowest on Oct 16 after payroll and rent. Two invoices due next week lift it back up.
Dreading it
"HST is due soon. How bad is it this quarter?"
You owe $8,940, due Oct 31.You collected $21,480 and can claim $12,540 back on what you bought. The figures tie to your ledger.
Unsure
"Which of my rental properties is actually making money?"
Two of three. Park Ave is losing money.A $14K roof repair pushed 41 Park Ave into a loss this year. The other two are ahead of last year.
Example businesses and figures, for illustration. Questions that need advice, like paying yourself or selling a property, are confirmed by an accountant before you act.
