Bookie helps business and life coaches manage invoices, expenses, receipts, VAT, income tax reports, multi-currency work, and accountant-ready bookkeeping without spreadsheet chaos. It is built for Malta, with Maltese VAT and income tax built in.
Every document is checked by Bookie and confirmed by you before it is booked.
Complex accounting, simplified into accounting events such as depreciation, disbursements, recharged costs, bad debts, refunds, voids, deferred revenue, prepayments, accrued income and expenses, exchange gains and losses, and irrecoverable VAT. Pick what happened, or let Bookie suggest it.
Invoice in one currency, get paid in another, and keep your books in your own currency, with the exchange rate on the invoice date.
Invite your accountant with an email, free for them. You keep things logged; they review and sign off. Bookie works alongside your accountant and is not a replacement for professional advice.
Two plans, DIY and Automagic, with tax compliance for Malta as an add-on that works with either plan. The first three months are free, no credit card required, and you can cancel any time.
Bookie works alongside your accountant, not instead of them. You keep your books in order through the year, and your accountant reviews clean, signed-off records rather than a bag of receipts. Invite them with just an email, at no cost to them. For tax advice and complex situations, your accountant is still the right person to ask.
Both plans give you the same books: invoices, expenses, accounting events, review and sign-off, financial statements and multi-currency. DIY is for doing it all by hand. Automagic adds the AI work: reading your receipts and invoices, the mobile apps, and suggesting the right accounts, tax codes and events for you. If you're VAT registered in Malta, add tax compliance to either plan for your VAT and income tax returns.
Bookie prepares them, and you or your accountant submit them. Your VAT return is filled box by box from your books, with refunds and bad debt relief adjusted in the right period, and your income tax return figures come from the same records. Each return shows its due date and the steps to file it.
When Bookie reads a receipt or invoice, it checks the details as it goes: that the totals and the VAT add up, that a payment matches the right transaction, and that a document can support a VAT claim. Anything it isn't sure of is flagged for you to review, with a short explanation, instead of being guessed. Once nothing is left, you or your accountant sign it off.
Yes. Bookie is built for freelancers, sole traders and small businesses in Malta, with Article 10 and Article 11 VAT registrations, Maltese VAT codes explained in plain words, and Malta's wear-and-tear periods for depreciation.
Bookie works for freelancers anywhere, in any currency. Tax compliance, with VAT and income tax returns, is available for Malta today, and we're working on more countries.
They're great general tools, but they don't build Malta's VAT returns in. Xero needs a third-party add-on, and we can't find Malta VAT filing in QuickBooks. In Bookie, your VAT return comes out box by box, the way you file it, and complex accounting is simplified into plain accounting events.
Not at the moment. Bookie creates your invoices and lets you download a professional PDF to send yourself. Payments you receive are recorded against the invoice, so you always know what's due, paid or overdue.
Yes. You can import your history from a spreadsheet, and on Automagic you can upload past invoices and receipts for Bookie to read.
Your data is encrypted and stored securely in the EU. We will never sell it. Any transaction data processed by AI is anonymised before it leaves our core system.
No. Bookie has been in development for over two and a half years, with a full accounting engine at its core. The calculations are deterministic code, so your figures are always the same. AI is used for specific jobs, like reading receipts and suggesting codes, and anything it isn't sure of is flagged for you rather than guessed. It is led by Jonathan Copperstone, whose background includes Salesforce, fintech product development, insurance SaaS, and self-employed consulting through Toptal.
