Bookkeeping that doesn't fight you.

LymeBooks is double-entry accounting for small businesses that are done overpaying for their books. Import your books, keep your history, pay a fair price.

Private beta · request access below

No card needed. Your books stay yours, and export always works.

Switching accounting software?

Most people don't leave because of the accounting. They leave because of everything around it.

Your history comes with you

Export from your current online or desktop software, import in one step, and check the balance sheet matches before you commit.

One price, no upsells

Two plans, both with every report. No ads inside the product, no add-on for payroll you don't use, no "upgrade to see this".

Receipts that file themselves

Drop a receipt or a statement in the Inbox. LymeBooks reads it, picks the vendor and account, and waits for your OK.

Bring your books with you

Questions

Is this real double-entry accounting?
Yes. Debits, credits, a chart of accounts, journal entries, splits, and reconciliation. Your accountant will recognise all of it.
What happens if I stop paying?
Your books go read-only. You can still open every report and export everything. Nothing is deleted for 90 days, and we tell you before it is.
Can I move from desktop accounting software, not just online?
Yes, with a little help from us during the beta. Pick "Desktop accounting software" on the form and we'll reach out.
Where is my data?
On servers we run in the United States, backed up nightly. See the privacy policy for the details.
