Full double-entry bookkeeping. HMRC-ready 9-box VAT returns. Bank reconciliation via Open Banking. Automatic sync from every sales channel with accurate per-order fees. No spreadsheets. No accountant begging you for a CSV at month-end.
Xero and QuickBooks are excellent for service businesses. For multi-channel e-commerce, you end up stitching in A2X, Link My Books, or Dext — plus a manual month-end ritual of matching Shopify payouts to PayPal fees to eBay deductions. CholaVerse does all of that natively, because your sales data already lives here.
A2X costs £59/mo. Link My Books £29/mo. Dext £19/mo. CholaVerse includes the equivalent of all three — because your orders and accounts are already connected.
We pull actual fees from eBay Finances API and Amazon SP-API — not estimated percentages. Your margins are real, not guessed.
Built for the UK tax year (April–April), Flat Rate Scheme, cash vs. accrual, Making Tax Digital. Not an American product with UK "support."
Pre-configured UK e-commerce chart of accounts. Sales (by channel), cost of goods, marketing, shipping, courier fees, platform fees, payroll, property, VAT liability, drawings — everything already sits where it should.
Orders auto-sync as drafts. Review, then post in bulk at month-end. Posted transactions create balanced journal entries automatically. Audit trail for every change.
Branded invoices, auto-numbered, PDF export, email via your SMTP. Mark as sent / paid / overdue. Aged debtors report across all customers.
Connect Lloyds, Barclays, HSBC, NatWest, Monzo, Starling — 98% of UK banks via TrueLayer Open Banking. Daily auto-sync. Auto-match transactions with ±£0.01 tolerance.
