Balanor Sole Trader Accounting

Balanor is bookkeeping built for one person running their own business in Australia, or more than one: Pro keeps each business's books separate, in the one app.

Invoices, expenses, receipts, GST and a real BAS worksheet — without the monthly creep, the upsells, or an account you have to create before you can start.

WHERE YOUR BOOKS LIVE

Your books are written to your own device. No Balanor server, no Balanor database and no Balanor account holds your financial records — we never see your figures. (Buying Pro creates one licence record on our own service: no books, no name, no email.) If you want them on more than one device, you connect your own Google Drive, OneDrive or iCloud, and the copy is encrypted on your device before it goes, with a key only you hold.

NO TRACKING. NONE.

No analytics. No telemetry. No advertising SDK. Not Google Analytics, Firebase, Sentry, Mixpanel or Crashlytics — none of it, verified in the code.

Everything that does leave your device is listed plainly in our privacy policy, and each one is something you switch on yourself.

BUILT FOR GST AND BAS

• The full BAS worksheet on screen — G1 through 1B and net GST — free, on every tier
• Quarterly, monthly or annual periods, with due dates and a lodging tracker
• Cash basis: income and GST counted when you're paid, not when you send the invoice
• Exports for you or your accountant: BAS figures, reports and a complete backup

WHAT BALANOR IS NOT

We would rather tell you before you download.

• Australia only. The GST rate, the BAS worksheet, ABNs and the July–June financial year are all Australian. It will not suit you elsewhere.
• Cash basis only: income and GST are counted when money is received or paid, not when you send the invoice. That's about timing, not how you're paid — card, bank transfer and cash all work.
