Why Vibooks
Why bookkeeping teams choose Vibooks
Vibooks combines mainstream bookkeeping workflow coverage with an official agent-ready surface, without giving up reviewability, auditability, or local control.
AR/AP workflows
Bank + card reconciliation
Payroll + asset modules
Tax postings
Audit trail
Local-first desktop
Source-aware bookkeeping workflows
Invoices, bills, receipts, sales receipts, purchase receipts, payroll runs, and asset events stay tied to the books instead of being flattened into generic automation.
Controls stay inside the workflow
Reconciliation state, attachments, audit history, period controls, and optional approvals stay visible where the bookkeeping actually happens.
Local-first books, open agent surface
Keep books on your device by default, move them with backup and portable import/export, and use the official API, CLI, and skill docs with your own agent.
What you can do
Bookkeeping workflows already covered
Vibooks already covers the bookkeeping workflows small businesses and bookkeepers expect, then adds an official agent-ready surface on top.
Income, AR, and customer cash
Manage customers, invoices, sales receipts, receipts, AR application, and customer refunds with source-linked postings and open balances.
Expenses, AP, and vendor cash
Manage vendors, bills, expenses, payments, AP application, purchase receipts, and vendor refunds from draft through posting.
Banking and reconciliation
Track bank and card accounts, statement lines, settlements, transfers, deposits, and reconciliation runs with traceable register activity.
Inventory, payroll, and fixed assets
Run inventory movements, payroll journals and payroll reports, and fixed-asset depreciation or disposal events inside the books.
Tax, reports, and period controls
Maintain tax codes, prepare tax returns and postings, run financial and aging reports, and manage fiscal periods, opening balances, and period controls.
Evidence, controls, and automation
Keep attachments and audit history, use dimensions, presets, recurring templates, and source-aware recognition schedules, and add approval, backup, import/export, and agent workflows through the official API and CLI.

Comparison
Why Vibooks feels different
Vibooks keeps the bookkeeping core intact, expands into the workflows small businesses actually use, and makes the whole surface programmable for agents.
Operational coverage
Vibooks
Core GL, AR/AP, banking, tax workflows, reporting, payroll, inventory, fixed assets, and period controls in one desktop bookkeeping product.
Typical mainstream products
Coverage varies, and non-core workflows often live across separate cloud modules or add-ons.
Source-aware workflows
Vibooks
Invoices, bills, receipts, sales receipts, purchase receipts, refunds, payroll runs, and asset events keep source records tied to the ledger.
Typical mainstream products
Often strong on forms, but AI or automation layers may sit beside the books instead of inside first-class source workflows.
Evidence and controls
Vibooks
Attachments, audit log, reconciliation state, period controls, and optional approval controls stay visible in the bookkeeping workflow.
Typical mainstream products
Controls are often split across admin tooling, external docs, or higher-tier governance products.
Portability and recovery
Vibooks
Local-first books by default, plus backups and portable import/export for moving or recovering a book.
Typical mainstream products
Books usually live in the vendor cloud, with portability and restore options shaped by the vendor platform.
Use your own agent
Vibooks
Official local API, CLI, and public skill docs let you connect your own agent to real bookkeeping actions.
Typical mainstream products
Automation is often centered on built-in assistants, closed integrations, or browser-layer workarounds.
Product stance
Vibooks
Built as bookkeeping software first: traceable postings, professional workflows, data ownership, and no claim to replace POS, PMS, or front-office systems.
Typical mainstream products
Accounting is often one module inside a broader operations suite.

Yes. Vibooks exposes an official local API, CLI, and public skill docs so you can connect your own agent to real bookkeeping workflows. AI is optional.
Does Vibooks replace POS, PMS, or front-office software?
No. Vibooks is bookkeeping software. Restaurants and small lodging businesses can use Vibooks for summary-based post-facto bookkeeping with settlements, receipts or payments, dimensions, and reports, but Vibooks is not a POS, PMS, or front-office operations system.
Which businesses is Vibooks designed for?
Vibooks is designed for post-facto bookkeeping across many small-business workflows. It is a strong fit for services, SaaS, trade, e-commerce, marketplace sellers, and short-term rental bookkeeping. Restaurants, small lodging businesses, and multi-location or multi-channel operators are a fit when the work can be recorded from summaries, settlements, receipts, payments, and reconciliations rather than front-office systems.
Does Vibooks support bank and credit-card reconciliation?
Yes. Vibooks supports bank and card accounts, statement lines, transfers, deposits, register activity, and reconciliation runs for statement-backed balances.
Does Vibooks support payroll, inventory, and fixed assets?
Yes. Vibooks includes payroll runs and payroll reports, inventory items and movements, and fixed asset registers plus depreciation and disposal events. It is bookkeeping software, not a full HR suite or payroll tax filing service.
Can I back up a book or move it with export and import?
Yes. Applicable entitlements can use backup plus portable export and import to move or recover books without relying on a vendor-hosted ledger.
Is Vibooks tax filing software?
Vibooks is bookkeeping software. It supports tax rates, tax codes, tax summaries, tax postings, and tax return workflows, but it does not connect to tax filing systems or replace your accountant or tax professional.
Can Vibooks be used in different countries?
Vibooks is designed for general bookkeeping use across many jurisdictions. It supports multi-currency books, tax codes, tax summaries, tax return workflows, FX remeasurement, and period-end controls, but it does not include tax-authority filing integrations, local payroll execution systems, or country-specific front-office operating software.
How do Vibooks plans differ?
Personal includes core bookkeeping plus banking, fixed assets and inventories, tax workflows, and the generic SMB preset for 1 Company and 1 Book. Small Business adds more capacity plus the Dimensions and Industry Presets modules, grouped reporting, payroll, backup, and import/export. Bookkeeping Firm adds still more capacity plus approval controls and priority support.
