For the band that does its own books

Full bookkeeping for the band

Invoices come out of the gig terms, receipts are booked against the show they belong to, and what comes out the other end is a journal and ledger your accountant will actually accept.

Invoice the gig in seconds

The fee and the terms are already on the gig, so the invoice mostly writes itself. Send it by e-mail or as an e-invoice in UBL 2.1, Peppol BIS, XRechnung or Factur-X/ZUGFeRD, and get paid through the Mollie integration.

Costs captured as they happen

Photograph the receipt and AI reads the supplier, the date, the amount and the VAT straight off it, so the purchase is booked against the gig it belongs to without typing it over. Members log their own expenses and mileage, and gigBuddy works out who gets paid back: transparent.

A journal and a ledger, the professional way

Full bookkeeping for the band, from journal entry to ledger, with dashboards over the top so you can see what the band earns, spends and owes at any moment. Import your bank statements for a full reconciliation with the bank.

Questions about the band's bookkeeping

Does this replace my accountant?

For a lot of bands it does, and at the very least it saves you plenty of time. This is the bookkeeping that makes your accountant's life a great deal easier, which saves both time and money.

Does the VAT return work outside the Netherlands?

Not yet. VAT return support and the reports behind it are available in the Netherlands at the moment. The rest of the bookkeeping: invoicing, purchases, journal, ledger and bank import, works wherever the band is based.

How do members get their money back?

They log their own expenses and mileage, and gigBuddy works out who is owed what. Paying members back becomes a simple settlement.
