The system can be used by both entrepreneurs (Ltd.) and self-employed, including micro-enterprise taxpayers.
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.
When user make any purchases related to economic activity, expenses for goods or services arise. In order not to have to enter each such transaction manually, you can simply take a picture of the receipt with your phone and add it to the system, which will automatically read all the fields and fill in the information about the transaction, but you only need to check and save. The same can be done with an invoice and if it has not yet been paid, this can also be done automatically through 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.
If you often work with the same clients or suppliers, you can immediately enter them in the catalog. The next time you issue an invoice or add an expense, the partner details will already be saved and filled in automatically - everything will happen faster and without errors. The system will automatically add each new client to the partner catalog.

Such invoices are paid 90% faster – everything happens instantly.
