The Author's Ledger

Your author business, in one clear view. The Author's Ledger brings books, royalties, sales, purchases, and promotions together so you can understand the business behind your writing. BUILT FOR AUTHORS, NOT ACCOUNTANTS Work with the things you know: books, series, pen names, formats, stores, and promotions. Guided entry helps you record sales and purchases, keep receipts with your transactions, and track print books and merchandise. Explore a fictional sample business before working with your own records. IMPORT TRANSACTIONS WITH EASE Import supported distributor reports into your ledger, match titles to your catalog, and keep the original reports attached to their transactions. Guided imports support Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Audible / ACX, Barnes & Noble Press, Draft2Digital, Google Play Books, IngramSpark, Kobo Writing Life, Spotify, and Voices by INaudio. Other distributor data can be entered through guided manual entry. Already using QuickBooks? A dedicated import tool lets you switch with ease. REPORTS THAT HELP YOU DECIDE See profit alongside cash and outstanding royalties. Compare books, series, pen names, formats, and promotions to understand what's working. Create income statements, balance sheets, and cash-flow statements, then export them as PDF or CSV files to share with your accountant or keep for your records. Cash and accrual accounting options give you different perspectives on the same business. CUSTOMIZE IT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS Add your own publication formats, vendors, distributors, accounts, and reporting categories. Choose the dates and business details you want to explore. Organize multiple pen names and series, adjust your dashboard, and arrange the workspace around the way you publish. YOUR DATA BELONGS TO YOU Choose on-device storage or private iCloud sync. Your business records are not shared with the developer. Export complete backups with your records, book covers, and attached documents for archival storage or later recovery. ONE APP, MULTIPLE DEVICES The Author's Ledger is available as a universal iPhone, iPad, and Mac app. Optional iCloud sync keeps your records synced across devices. SUBSCRIPTION A fully functional free trial is available for new users. Upon expiration, a monthly subscription is required to add, import, or change business records. Browsing your existing records, creating reports, viewing attachments, and exporting reports and backups remains available even without an active subscription. Subscriptions are managed via in-app purchase. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
