Counter sales
Sell in person straight into the ledger, with card terminals from Global Payments and Moneris.

Receipt and invoice scanning
Photograph a supplier invoice and the bill fills itself in.

Frequently asked questions
Is SeroBooks a good QuickBooks Desktop alternative?
SeroBooks was built for businesses moving off QuickBooks Desktop. It keeps familiar menus and windows, imports a full year of history with a dry run first, and runs on Windows, macOS, Android and the web. Its export to QuickBooks Desktop has been verified to the penny against a live seller’s file.
How much does SeroBooks cost?
SeroBooks Starter is $79.99 a month, Standard $150, Pro $300 and SeroBooks for Amazon $150, in US dollars per business rather than per user. Annual plans cost ten months. Every plan has a 14-day free trial.
Does SeroBooks handle Canadian sales tax?
Yes. SeroBooks applies GST, HST, PST and QST per line by destination for every province and territory, supports PST resale exemptions where provinces allow them, and has a Sales Tax Centre for filing returns. It also handles US state sales tax and watches economic nexus thresholds.
Does SeroBooks include payroll?
SeroBooks Pro includes payroll for all 13 Canadian provinces and territories and US federal and state withholding, posted in the same ledger. Businesses that want payroll on its own can use SeroPayroll instead.
Can my accountant use SeroBooks?
Yes, and accountant seats are free. Accounting practices register their own firm and work inside each client’s books from one login, with the client’s subscription covering the work.
