Every number
has two sides.
Benab Invoices is an accounting platform, not an invoice generator. Invoices, bills, bank reconciliation and period close all post to a real general ledger — one your accountant can open, audit and sign off.
Moving off QuickBooks Online? The migration is built in.

What Benab will not let you do
Any tool can add a number. An accounting system is defined by what it refuses. These are the things Benab stops.
- Entry rejected
Debits 1,240.00 · Credits 1,150.00 · Out by 90.00.
A journal entry that does not balance is never written.
- Period closed
FY2025 was locked on 31 Mar 2026 by an administrator.
Post to an open period, or record an authorised reversal.
- Delete blocked
INV-0987 is posted to the general ledger.
Posted documents are reversed, never erased.
- Sign-in incomplete
Password accepted. Second factor required.
Two-factor is on by default, not an upgrade.
A dated, attributed record of every action taken in your books.
Disputed history, and 'nobody knows who changed it'.
A hard line under a closed year that only an authorised reversal crosses.
Silent edits to figures you already filed on.
Customer, vendor and banking details encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
One database read exposing every company at once.
What you do, and what the ledger does
Every action on the left writes the entry on the right. Nothing posts twice, and nothing posts silently.
Invoicing & estimates
Invoices, estimates and credit notes with your own templates and recurring schedules.
The ledgerDebits receivables, credits revenue and VAT, per line.
Bills & expenses
Vendor bills, purchase orders and day-to-day spending.
The ledgerDebits the expense or asset account, credits payables.
Bill scanning
Read the vendor, dates and line amounts off a photo or PDF with built-in OCR — no third-party service, no per-page fee.
The ledgerNothing until you approve it. Every extracted line is reviewable.
Bank reconciliation
Import a statement, match against what you already recorded.
The ledgerClears matched items; unmatched differences stay visible.
Fixed assets
Asset registers with schedules that run on a timetable.
The ledgerDebits depreciation expense, credits accumulated depreciation.
Tax & VAT
Per-line tax codes and returns that tie back to the ledger.
The ledgerEvery return reconciles to the VAT control account.
Multicurrency
Invoice in the client's currency with a rate per document.
The ledgerBooks in your home currency; the rate is stored on the entry.
QuickBooks migration
Guided account mapping, opening balances, and your open invoices and bills.
The ledgerA read-only sync lets you verify against QuickBooks before switching.
Bank reconciliation
Matched lines tie off. The one that does not stays on the page until somebody explains it — differences are not rounded away.
Multicurrency
Your client reads their currency, your books read yours, and the rate that joined them is stored on the entry forever.
Three seats, one ledger
Your accountant works in your books without ever holding your password — and only in the companies you grant.
Owner
- See every figure in the business
- Approve and send documents
- Invite people and set their roles
Edit a period once it is closed.
Finance team
- Record bills, expenses and payments
- Reconcile the bank
- Prepare returns and reports
Change permissions or reopen a locked period.
External accountant
- Work across every client company in one sign-in
- Take an Accountant's Copy of a closed period
- Review the full audit trail
See a client that has not granted them access.
Every seat writes to the same trail
Owner, finance team or outside accountant — each action lands in an append-only log with the actor and the timestamp on it. There is no screen in the product that deletes a line from it.

Month-end, in order
The close is a sequence, and Benab runs it as one. When the period locks, the figures behind the line stop moving — for good.

It ties, or it tells you where it does not
The trial balance is the check before the lock. Both columns come off the same ledger, so agreement is a fact rather than a claim.
- 01
Reconcile
Match every bank line against what you recorded.
- 02
Depreciate
Run the schedules on the asset register.
- 03
Revalue
Restate foreign-currency balances at the closing rate.
- 04
Review
Read the trial balance. It ties, or it tells you where it does not.
- 05
Lock
Close the period. Nothing behind the line moves again.
Bring the books, not just the logo
Guided account mapping, opening balances, and your open invoices and bills come across. Then a read-only sync lets you check Benab against QuickBooks before you commit.
