It's HERE! The Desktop Solution You've Been Waiting For.

Finally - Bookkeeping Software...
that's Yours to Keep

Welcome to a new bookkeeping software

Built by bookkeepers who've had enough of price hikes, forced subscriptions and disappearing options

If you've been searching for an affordable bookkeeping software, look no further. 

QuickBooks no longer allows new users to access their lower-priced bookkeeping software. Here at Brass Jacks we are proud to offer an affordable alternative to QuickBooks Desktop. 

Brass Jacks Bookkeeper Software is designed by bookkeepers, for bookkeepers. We know what matters to small business owners - accurate, accessible and affordable bookkeeping software.

They took away your software.
We're giving it back.

For years, QuickBooks Desktop gave bookkeepers and small business owners reliable, straightforward software. Then came the price jumps — $849… $1,499… $2,974 — and the constant push to move online.

We decided enough was enough.

Brass Jacks Bookkeeper is a desktop bookkeeping and payroll solution designed by bookkeepers, for bookkeepers.
  • One-time license fee. No forced subscription.
  • Payroll included (with a small annual fee).
  • Simple and reliable bookkeeping tools
  • No AI "guessing" your transactions - you stay in control.
We're not here to chase trends. We're here to build something that lasts.

Bookkeeping Done Right

Can I try the software before purchasing?

At this time, we don’t offer a trial version of Brass Jacks Bookkeeper.

Does this software do Job Costing?

This answer is two-fold. 
Brass Jacks Bookkeeper software DOES do job costing, but we do not recommend it for construction business who are doing over $1 Million in revenue. If you are a small contractor however, this would be an excellent option for you.

Can I import my QuickBooks data into BJB software? 

QuickBooks Desktop databases can be imported into Brass Jacks Bookkeeper using our QBImporter tool and a paid version of QODBC (which is currently priced at $149). 

There are some limitation as to what can be imported so you want to review the data afterwards and be comfortable adding journal entries for any data that is missing. 

Alternately we can handle the migration for you. Contact support for more information. 

QBO databases are not able to be exported.
