A direct answer
Tax Ready Books turns 12 months of bank and credit-card statements into categorized statement-based books: income, expenses, transfers, a draft profit and loss report, reconciliations, missing-record checks, and an accountant handoff package. It prepares the records; it does not file a tax return or replace final accountant adjustments.
Your country, legal entity, accounting method, indirect-tax status, payroll, inventory, assets, and loans determine the checklist and missing records shown in the final package. Official government guidance supports each country profile.
Rules and remembered merchant decisions run first. AI suggestions use the transaction date, description, amount direction, account type, currency, country, entity, accounting method, and business profile. Low-confidence items stay in the review queue, and the system does not infer tax deductibility from a bank description alone.
The output is a statement-based bookkeeping draft, not a filed return, complete balance sheet, or final double-entry trial balance. Opening balances, invoices, receipts, payroll, inventory, loans, indirect-tax records, and year-end adjustments may still be required.
Straight answers about inputs, outputs, categorization, reconciliation, pricing, and professional review.
The ZIP contains a country-and-entity checklist, financial summary, draft profit and loss, categorized statement ledger, expense detail, exclusions and transfers, account reconciliation, missing-record checklist, and an accountant-review report.
No. Statements can support cash and credit-card activity, but a complete balance sheet also needs opening balances and records for assets, liabilities, equity, receivables, payables, inventory, loans, payroll, and year-end adjustments where applicable.
No. It organizes statement-based books and creates an accountant handoff package. A qualified tax professional or the taxpayer must confirm tax treatment, complete adjustments, and file the applicable return.
The books profile currently supports Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with country-specific personal, self-employed, partnership, company, and non-profit entity choices.
Deterministic rules and saved merchant decisions are applied first. Remaining transactions may receive AI suggestions using statement and books-profile context. Low-confidence, equipment, transfer, and other uncertain items are sent to the review queue.
Potential internal transfers and card payments are matched across accounts, likely duplicate transactions are flagged, and each statement opening and closing balance is compared with calculated activity. Exceptions remain visible until reviewed.
