Sound familiar?
The books live in a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
Invoices are typed up one by one. Bills sit in a folder. The bank statement never quite matches what was written down. Payroll is a spreadsheet someone rebuilds every month. Nobody can say who still owes money without digging, and the accountant redoes it all at year end.
- Invoices made by hand, with no clear view of what is paid or overdue
- Bank statements that never quite match the records
- Payroll rebuilt in a spreadsheet every month
- SRD, USD, and EUR mixed together with no clean balance
- Reports put together by hand when someone asks for them
The fix
One set of books. Every number adds up.
CoreBooks is ready-made accounting software. Quotes become invoices, orders become bills, and payments land on the right customer or supplier. Import the bank statement and reconcile it to the cent. Run payroll in a few steps. Every transaction posts a balanced double-entry journal, so the profit and loss, balance sheet, and trial balance are always current and always agree.
- Invoices, bills, and payments in one place
- Bank reconciliation to the cent
- Payroll with payslips ready to print
- SRD, USD, EUR, and more side by side
- Reports your accountant will trust

Ask us a questionIs the free plan really free?
Yes, with no time limit. It includes 25 invoices, quotes and bills a month, one user plus your accountant, every currency, bank and cash accounts, the VAT return and all reports.
How does the 30-day trial work?
Every new business starts with 30 days of the Business plan, without a credit card. When the trial ends, the business moves to the free plan unless you choose Pro or Business. Nothing you entered is deleted.
Does CoreBooks know the Surinamese VAT rates?
Yes. One click adds the tax codes for 10%, 5%, 25%, 0%, exempt, exports, private use, reverse charge and import VAT, each linked to the right line of the VAT return.
Can I file the BTW return from CoreBooks?
CoreBooks prepares the return with every amount in whole SRD, ready to type into the Belastingdienst's online portal. You file it there, and mark it as filed in CoreBooks.
Can I keep my books in SRD and invoice in US dollars?
Yes. Every invoice, bill and bank account has its own currency. Reports show everything in your base currency at the right rates.
Do I need to be registered for VAT to use CoreBooks?
No. Businesses with a taxable turnover of SRD 1,000,000 a year or less don't have to register for VAT. CoreBooks works without tax codes too, and you can add them when you register.
Do I pay extra for my accountant?
No. Every plan lets you invite your accountant on top of your users.
How do I pay?
By card, monthly or yearly, through Stripe. Paying yearly costs ten months' price for twelve. Prices are in US dollars.

Your data stays readable and editable. Features of the bigger plan stop being available for new records, and you can upgrade again at any time.
