Simple, fast accounting software
Perfect for small business and sole traders, Prosaic offers the essentials without the complexity or cost of other accounting packages.
Connect bank accounts, categorise transactions with AI, create and send invoices, upload receipts, and review reports and GST.
Your accountant will send you an invite to get started.
Three steps, and you’re set up.
Ask your accountant or bookkeeper to invite you to Prosaic - setup takes a few minutes.
Your accountant sends you an invite. Enter your name and email, then open the link we send you.
You’ll be taken to Akahu to connect your accounts. Your accountant sets up the rest of your business.
Sign in whenever you like to see your transactions, GST returns and reports.
Need help? Your accountant or bookkeeper can guide you through setup, or visit help.prosaic.works.
Connect your bank accounts once. That’s the setup.
Your transactions flow into Prosaic automatically from then on. No statements to download, nothing to send your accountant.
Bank connections are provided by our partner Akahu - New Zealand’s open banking network.
Categorise transactions with help from AI.
Prosaic suggests a category for each transaction from the merchant name and how similar ones have been coded before. Accept it, change it, or leave it for your accountant.
Anything you’re unsure about can wait. Your accountant sees the same list you do, and picks up whatever you leave behind.
Review with your accountant or bookkeeper, or simply let them take care of it for you.
Create and send invoices in seconds.
Build a simple PDF invoice, email it straight to your customer, and let it mark itself paid when the payment lands in your bank feed.
Send a receipt without thinking about it.
Forward the supplier email to your Prosaic inbox, or drag files straight in. Prosaic reads them and matches them to the right bank transaction.
Everything your accountant needs at GST or year end, gathered as you go rather than hunted down in March.
See your reports, whenever you want.
Open the return your accountant is preparing, see the figures behind every box, and download a PDF, Excel or CSV copy. Your accountant files it with Inland Revenue.
While transactions are still being coded the return is marked provisional, so you always know whether you’re looking at a work in progress or a final figure.
Some of these depend on the access your accountant gives you. Ask them if you’d like to do more yourself.
And a few more things
Small conveniences that save you a phone call or a shoebox of receipts.
Comments
Your accountant can ask about a single transaction rather than emailing you a list. You answer in the same place, and every thread collects in one Activity feed you can search later.
Expenses
Claim home-office costs, mileage and the share of your phone bill that belongs to the business. Answer a few questions and the claim goes to your accountant with the working shown. Head to expenses.prosaic.works to get started.
Receipt capture
Add a one-tap button to your iPhone Home Screen. Photograph a receipt at the counter and it’s in Prosaic, dated and filed, before you get back to the car.
