Hi Product Hunt! Founder here, and it's super exciting to show you guys what we've been working on! Huge thanks to everybody who's helped get us to this point.
ZipBooks is what we think accounting should be. It aims to simplify bookkeeping dramatically and help small businesses solve what's often their biggest problem - getting cash in the bank when they need it. When a ZipBooks user sends an invoice, we can finance it right away, so money shows up in our users' bank account usually in less than 24 hours--even though their client may wait 30 days or longer to pay. We get paid back over time with low, transparent fees.
Because we make money on invoice financing, we don't charge a subscription for using ZipBooks. No tiers, and no limits on any of our features. It's all just free. (And no ads, either!)
Some of the other cool stuff we do:
- Invoices and estimates
- Connect bank, categorize expenses
- Accept credit cards (Stripe, WePay) or PayPal
- Track time
- Recurring auto-billing
- Automated late payment reminders
Can't wait to hear what you guys think -- we hope you get as excited about it as we are! Happy to answer any questions.
I like the Instant Payments feature (you can send someone an invoice and ZipBooks can finance it, so you can get paid right away, no waiting around). Smart…

I don't think I am using ZipBooks to its full potential and it still does lots more then needed. It runs fast on every platform i have tried it on (Web(MacOS), iPhone 5 and 6).
@mad_wentz Thanks for the kind words! We have been really fortunate to be able to build on some great technology. Laravel is screaming fast after the PHP7 upgrade. We actually did some benchmark testing and we load faster than any other accounting app out there: https://zipbooks.com/blog/quickb...

Zipbooks is an amazing product. As a freelancer I needed something simple and inexpensive. Zipbooks was just that. It is very mobile as it works well on the phone. I get notifications as soon as I get paid on different projects. You can setup recurring invoices (for free...let's take a moment and laugh at Quickbooks). It is everything a freelancer needs. I also see this being something that will be able to integrate as I grow. The time tracker is not something that I use as of now, but it will be necessary down the line. Great product. On top of that, the support that Zipbooks provide is top of the line. Brad Hanks has been there to help answer questions whenever I might would have one. Great product, great team.
Love love love ZipBooks - Easy to use, no tedious 50 step setup process - you can get up and running in less than five minutes. Every single time I've had a question the team has been quick to respond and helpful.
The app is dead simple to get started with, create new invoices, and manage time on accounts.
I can't stand lengthy account setups or bloated feature sets. (I'm looking at you, Quickbooks)
Its like an old-school Apple product; no user manual needed.
