Welcome to stub!

This guide will give you the lay of the land: what stub does, how it keeps your books tidy in the background, and how to get set up in a few minutes flat.

The stub way

stub is simple, powerful accounting software that speaks your language. We’ve kept the foundation of accounting, but ditched the jargon, and built something that makes sense even if you’ve never touched a ledger in your life.

• Everything connects. Send an invoice, record an expense, or sync your bank. stub quietly does the maths behind the scenes so everything stays in sync.
• Simple where it can be, detailed where it should be. Enough structure to keep things accurate, not so much that you’re lost in folders within folders.
• Real accounting under the hood. Every transaction is properly recorded with debits and credits, but you don’t have to speak fluent accounting to use it.

Think of it as accounting you can actually like; trustworthy, simple, and built for how small businesses actually work.

How stub works

Create invoices, record expenses, and import bank transactions.

Add the day-to-day activity that runs your business, from sales and payments to costs and receipts. stub captures every detail automatically.

Watch your books balance themselves.

Each action creates the right accounting entries in the background, keeping your General Ledger accurate and up to date.

See your reports update in real time.

Your Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and VAT report instantly reflect your latest activity – no waiting, no manual calculations.

Add manual entries when you want more control.

Know your way around debits and credits? You can record your own journals – handy for adjustments or advanced accounting moves.

So whether you’re here to “just keep on top of the basics” or to get into the details, stub gives you the right level of control.
