What do I need to get started?
Your email address to sign in, and a bank statement: a CSV, or a PDF from your bank. Choose your business's currency and import.
Will Adam change my books without asking?
No. Adam can read your books and suggest entries, but every suggestion waits for a person to approve it, and every correction is recorded as a visible reversal.
What's the check-up?
A picture of how the business is doing, worked out from your books each time you open your overview: a heartbeat for each of the last 12 months (a red beat below the line is a month that lost money), how long your cash would last, your margin next to your usual (the same months last year, so a quiet season isn't read as a decline), and what's owed both ways. Tap a reading to see the number behind it. It's on every plan, including Free, and it's a picture of your books, not financial advice.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. Download your profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance and stock reports as CSV whenever you like.
Can I move my business over from another system?
Yes. Import your chart of accounts and opening balances straight from a Xero or QuickBooks export, then your customers, vendors, products, stock, open invoices and bills from our CSV templates, then your bank and card statements.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit. It includes up to 20 bank lines a month, invoices, bills, contacts, reports, VAT returns and the check-up, for the owner and one other person, such as your accountant. Adam and the fixed asset register are on the paid plans.
Does my accountant need their own plan?
No. Your accountant or bookkeeper joins your workspace free, with an accountant view of the full trial balance and journals. Team members are unlimited on every paid plan, and the Free plan includes the owner and one other person, so there's room for your accountant there too.
Can I invoice all my members at once?
Yes. Put your members (or students, or tenants) in a group, then invoice the group: each person gets their own invoice, as drafts you check before issuing. You’ll see who has paid, can email reminders to everyone who still owes, and can split one bank deposit across several members. It can repeat every month, quarter or year, and it’s on every plan, including Free.
Does it do quotes, purchase orders and projects?
Yes. Quotes turn into invoices and purchase orders into bills in one click. Projects (on Growth and Scale) show income, costs and profit per job.
What about credit cards?
Add each card as an account and upload its statement (PDF or CSV). Purchases are recorded as spending and what you owe stays reconciled. Live bank and card feeds aren't available yet.
What about cash and receipts?
Add a Cash account for your petty cash. Add each cash spend with a photo of the receipt; on paid plans Adam reads the date, total and VAT for you to check, and nothing is recorded until you add it. A withdrawal to top up the tin is recorded as one transfer, bills and invoices can be marked paid in cash, and counting the tin shows any difference to record.
Does it work with my bank?
Yes. Upload your statement as a PDF or CSV, from a chequing account or a credit card. Zirano learns your bank’s statement layout once, checks a PDF statement against its opening and closing balances before anything is imported, and skips lines you’ve already imported. Live bank feeds aren’t available yet.
Which countries' VAT does it prepare?
The Bahamas, today. Choose monthly or quarterly filing, and Zirano works out each period and its due date (the 21st of the following month, or the large-taxpayer date). It prepares the return from your invoices, bills and bank lines, with every figure traced to its lines. You submit it to the Department of Inland Revenue yourself, and Zirano records it as filed. Zirano prepares VAT returns; it does not give tax advice.
Is my bank statement uploaded somewhere?
No. PDF statements are read in your browser; only the lines you choose to import are saved, plus the statement's column layout so the next one reads automatically.
Is Zirano SOC 2 certified?
Not yet. Zirano runs on providers that each hold a SOC 2 Type II report (Convex for your data, Vercel for hosting, Resend for email and Anthropic for Adam), and the Security page explains what we do on top of that.
