Books that stay current
Every account, categorized and matched as money moves. You see a clean list, not a pile of uncoded transactions.
Do it yourself
Do your own books. No accounting degree.
Built for business owners who would rather run the company than learn bookkeeping. Connect your bank. Tyms sorts the transactions, writes the reports, and keeps your records ready for tax time. You review what matters, in plain English.
For owners, not accountants
Most accounting software still expects you to be the accountant.
01
The tool hands you the homework
Spreadsheets, QuickBooks, and Xero give you boxes to fill: categories, accounts, reconciliations. If you didn't study accounting, the software just sits there while the month gets away from you.
02
The books slip because you're busy
A quiet week becomes a quarter. Then tax season arrives and nobody can say what you made, what you spent, or what you owe. Catching up costs more than keeping up ever would.
03
You can stay in charge without studying
Doing it yourself doesn't mean becoming a bookkeeper. Tyms does the sorting. You keep the decisions, and you can see the numbers without learning a new language.
How you actually do it yourself
Four steps. None of them ask you to know accounting. This is the whole routine.
01
Connect the money
Link your bank, or drop in a statement. Invoices, bills, and receipts can come in the same way. That's the setup. You do it once, not every Friday night.
02
Tyms sorts what came in
Sales, software, rent, that card charge you half-remember — Tyms files each one where it belongs and matches it to the bank. You don't pick account codes.
03
You check it in your own words
Ask “what did we spend on software?” or “are we making money?” Anything that looks off is waiting for you. Everything else is already done. A few minutes, not a weekend.
04
Open the reports when you need them
Profit, what the business owns, and where the cash went — ready when you look, not once a year. When it's time to file, the records are already in order for you or your accountant.
The routine is handled. The decisions stay yours.
You don't open Tyms to wrestle with bookkeeping. You open it to see how the business is doing, and to approve the few things that need a person.
Reports you can read
Profit, what you own, and where cash went — written the way you'd explain it to a partner, not the way a textbook would.
Invoices and bills
Send an invoice, record a bill, and see when money actually lands. Getting paid and paying others lives in the same place as the books.
Ask instead of searching
Talk to Adam the way you'd text a finance friend. The answer comes from your real books, not a generic article.
Ready for tax, all year
Nothing to reconstruct when taxes are due. Your records stay organized, so you or your accountant can file from a clean set of books.
Only the odd ones need you
Tyms matches the obvious ones and sets aside the few that look unusual. You review those. The rest does not wait on you.
Plain English
The accounting words, in plain English.
01
Debits and credits
The plus and minus accountants use so every transaction is recorded twice. You describe what happened — a sale, a bill, a card payment — and Tyms records it the right way.
02
Chart of accounts
The master list of categories a business is supposed to set up before day one. Tyms starts you with a list that fits a normal business. Rename one if you want. You don't have to build it.
03
Journal entries
The form accountants fill in by hand. You won't stare at a blank journal. A receipt, a bank line, or a sentence to Adam becomes the record.
04
Reconciliation
Checking that the bank and your books tell the same story. Tyms matches them and only asks you about the lines that don't.
One plan for owners who run their own books.
Plus is the Tyms platform, billed per person on your team. You stay in the driver's seat. The sorting, matching, and reports are already done.

Questions business owners ask
Straight answers about doing your own books on Tyms, without an accounting background.
Yes. That's who this is for. You connect your bank, Tyms sorts and matches the transactions, and you review anything that looks unusual. You never have to learn debits, credits, or journal entries to keep the books current.
Connect your accounts once. After that, the usual month is a short review: look at what Tyms flagged, answer a question if something is unclear, and open your reports when you want them. Most owners spend minutes, not evenings.
Those tools are built for people who already know accounting. They give you the forms and wait. Tyms does the sorting, writes the reports, and lets you ask questions in normal language. You stay in control, without becoming the bookkeeper.
Do it yourself means you use Tyms, and Tyms does the routine work while you review and decide. Done for you means our team runs the books and files your taxes, and you don't have to live in the software. Same company. You pick how hands-on you want to be.
For day-to-day books, yes, it can. Your accountant can then spend their time on tax and advice instead of cleaning up a year of guesses. Tax filing stays with you or your accountant on this plan. If you want Tyms to file as well, look at Done for you.
Start from where you are. Upload the statements you've been avoiding and Tyms works through them. You don't need a perfect history before you begin, and you don't need to categorize the backlog yourself.
Yes. Plus is billed per person. Invite the people who send invoices, pay bills, or just need to see the numbers. You decide who can do what.
Yes. Tyms is ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified — the same kind of standards major financial institutions use. Your data is encrypted and stays private.
Yes. If the business gets busier and you'd rather hand the books off, book a call and our team takes over. Your history stays put. You're not starting over.
