Frequently asked questions

It is a platform that allows self-employed and small businesses to do all their accounting independently – from transactions to declarations. With many features that automate processes and save the user's time. Everything is done simply, clearly and transparently. The system can be used by both entrepreneurs (Ltd.) and self-employed, including micro-enterprise taxpayers.
No. Everything is designed to be understandable even without prior knowledge. And if you still have questions, there is a system user manual and video instructions for each function that you can watch at any time. You can also contact technical support for any questions by writing to [email protected]
Yes. You can grant access to your accountant - he will see transactions, reports and will be able to work directly in the system. No sending files, no WhatsApp messages, no lost emails. Everything in one place, transparent and convenient.
If payment is not made, access to the system is restricted – you can log in to your profile, pay subscription, and view, edit, or export the information you have already entered. This option is valid for 90 days after the end of the free or last paid period. If payment is not made within this time, the profile will be blocked for another 90 days, during which it can still be restored. After that, a 10-day period begins, after which the profile will be permanently deleted along with all data.
The choice depends on how actively you conduct your business and how much time you want to save, which is why the trial period is provided so you can understand what works best for you.
  • Basic plan (€9/month) is suitable for those who need simple automated reporting and are willing to spend time on manual data entry.
  • Pro plan (€19/month) offers more features and is the most popular choice, providing advice, helping to save time, and gain more control over finances.
  • Premium (€29/month) is intended for more active users who want to earn more and use full functionality, including personalized support.
    • Yes. Invoicing is one of the key features that helps users save time and get paid faster. You can add your logo, choose a design, add services, and send an invoice directly from the system.
    Yes, any new user can try the system for 7 days for free. It is possible to test all the functions, see how reports and tax calculations are created. Please note that in order to download reports and submit them to the SRS, you must first purchase one of the offered tariff plans: Basic, Pro or Premium.
    The system has been operating in Latvia for 5 years, starting in 2020. During these years, the number of registered users has grown to almost 20,000 and a total of more than 1,000,000 transactions have been entered. The system not only helps small businesses with accounting, but has also encouraged Latvian residents to start their own business, provides free educational materials and promotes the opportunity for everyone to earn more with their ideas, hobbies, skills without fear of taxes, knowledge of accounting or the complexity of the law.
    No. Currently, the State Revenue Service has not yet developed an option to connect and transfer data automatically. However, the system prepares all reports in accordance with SRS requirements - you can simply download them and submit them to the EDS system yourself.
    Because when everything is accounted correctly, you don't miss out on what you can write off. You no longer forget about small receipts, the system reminds you of what else you could add, and helps you organize your expenses into the right categories. As a result, you pay less in unnecessary taxes and have more funds left on account.
    You get access to the full range of features – you can try out invoicing, check recognition, bank synchronization, tax calculations, expense analysis, and a payroll module. The only limitation is that you can't download reports.
    Simply register – you can use demo data or your own. If you enter your own, the platform will automatically adapt to your tax regime and type of business. No payment card required, you can safely start without any obligations.

    Unlike those hired under standard employment contracts, self-employed people cannot always rely on a regular and consistent income each month. There may be periods where you do not receive any income for a month, a quarter, or even an entire year – particularly if you’ve only recently started your business activity, or your services are only in demand during certain seasons.
