Introduction #

Welcome to Microbooks, the worlds first and only 100% API based Bookkeeping service. The Platform is predicated upon the simple premise that while Accounting Jurisdictions vary, Book Keeping fundamentals do not.

Keeping your own books #

You don’t need to be a developer to use Microbooks. Through the MCP server, any AI assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol can keep your books for you in plain language: record sales, bills and payments, show you who owes you, and produce IFRS-compliant financial statements. When the year is done you hand the books to your accountant or tax advisor for review.

Start with Keeping your own books, a step-by-step guide from signing up to the year-end handover.

Building on the API #

Microbooks also gives any developer a fast, reliable and easy to use bookkeeping backend for creating Accounting software suitable for their jurisdiction, industry, or even unique use case.
