About

BookKeep

Features
Read full description

If you're managing compliance deadlines for dozens of clients, you already know the risk: one missed Sales Tax filing, one late 1099, one forgotten LLC fee — and a client has a problem you can't undo. BookKeep is built for bookkeepers who carry the compliance calendar for multiple clients and need everything organized in one place. Add each client, then attach their specific obligations: Sales Tax, Payroll, 1099s, W-2s, Estimated Tax, LLC Fees, Franchise Tax, Insurance Renewals, Property Tax, and more. Set the recurrence, due date, and reminder timing so every client deadline stays visible. BookKeep helps you see what is overdue, what is due this week, and what is coming next. Add local reminders on your iPhone or iPad so important deadlines stay front and center. When a deadline is handled, mark it complete and add notes or a confirmation number. Every completed obligation is logged, giving you a cleaner follow-through history for each client. BookKeep is local-first. Your client list and deadline tracking stay on the device where you use the app. The free plan supports up to 5 clients. BookKeep Pro unlocks unlimited clients and export tools for $5.99/month, $59.99/year, or $99 as a one-time lifetime purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://bookkeep-privacy.netlify.app BookKeep is the focused compliance calendar for bookkeepers who need to know what is due, what is done, and what needs attention next.
