The spinner. The click that lags a half-second after the page moves. Single-step tasks turned into a maze of clicks. We built a fast UI on top of QuickBooks Online so you can stop wasting your time waiting.
You've been waiting for this software.
Virtual-scrolling, filterable, drill-down ledger that loads on 100k+ line accounts. No pagination.
People in different browsers see others' edits instantly — including edits made in QuickBooks Online.
Bookkeepers with 20+ clients can switch files instantly.
Real-time updates to and from QuickBooks Online. Your QuickBooks account stays the source of truth.
Every transaction in instabooks has a one-click link back to its native QuickBooks Online page. We don't try to hide QuickBooks; we just don't make you live there.
The canonical record of every transaction, account, and balance lives in QuickBooks Online — secured by Intuit, exactly where it's always been. instabooks is a fast view onto that data, not a separate ledger.
Select 50, 200, or even 5,000 transactions; change account, memo, class, or tag across all of them in one submission.
Drag accounts between parents, create new accounts in seconds, search the whole tree, activate or inactivate without leaving the page. Nothing is paginated.
Whatever's on screen — a filtered ledger, an account list, a transaction selection — exports cleanly to CSV in one click.
Batch-recategorize hundreds of miscoded transactions. Reorganize a tangled chart of accounts in one screen — drag accounts to new parents, rename, and inactivate the dead ones. Drill into a year of unreconciled bank feeds without losing your place. Export before-and-after CSVs the moment you're done.
Read the full cleanup storyFeels like QuickBooks Desktop used to feel. I forgot accounting software could be this fast.
Took on a 14-month cleanup last quarter. With instabooks I re-coded about 1,400 bank-feed transactions in two sessions, handed the client a clean before-and-after of their chart of accounts, and closed the engagement two weeks under quote.
We manage 47 QuickBooks Online files. Switching between clients used to be a coffee break. With instabooks, my team closes books in half the time and stopped quitting on me.
