From receipt to balanced books
in a few minutes.

Each receipt becomes a balanced double-entry journal — automatically, with the trail intact. Hover any phase to see the artifact at that step.

Bank lines and journal entries,
stitched together by themselves.

Drop a bank statement PDF; the matcher pairs each line to its journal entry. The two that don't match get flagged for you, not buried.

One ledger,
every currency you trade in.

Hold balances in MUR, EUR, USD, GBP, INR — every line is converted to your base currency at the rate of its own date, and realised FX gains and losses are booked for you when a payment settles.

06 — Security

Financial data deserves
the highest level of protection.

Encryption in transit, tenant isolation on every query, two-factor sign-in and an audit trail. No outside certification yet — and we don't pretend otherwise.

TLS in transit, AES-256 for stored secrets

Every connection is encrypted with TLS (1.2 minimum, 1.3 preferred). Secrets Qontab keeps for you, such as your AI provider keys, are sealed with AES-256-GCM.

Tenant isolation enforced on every query

Only the API layer touches the database, and it scopes every read and write to your company. The web and mobile apps never query the database directly.

HTTP-only session cookies, two-factor and passkeys

Sessions live in signed, HTTP-only cookies — never in localStorage, where a script could read them. Two-factor authentication and passkeys are available, and external tools use scoped, revocable API keys.

An audit trail — and no certification claimed

Changes to your books and your team are written to an audit log scoped to your company. Qontab is not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified and has not had a third-party penetration test yet; this section will say so when that changes.

08 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

If something isn't covered, write to help@qontab.com — we usually reply within a working day.

01What is double-entry bookkeeping and why does it matter?+
Every transaction creates two equal and opposite entries — a debit on one account, a credit on another. The total debits always equal the total credits, which means errors get caught the moment they're posted. It's the standard used by every accountant on earth because it's the only system that self-checks. Qontab posts both sides for you automatically; you never have to think about it.
02How does the receipt scanning work?+
Photograph a receipt or upload it. AI reads the merchant, date, line items, tax and total, and suggests an expense account from the merchant (Meals & Entertainment, Computer Expenses…). You review it before anything is posted.
03Can I import transactions from my bank?+
Yes — upload a CSV or PDF statement, or a photo of one. PDF statements are read by AI, so there is no per-bank template to wait for. The matcher then pairs each line with its journal entry and leaves the rest for you to match or record.
04Which currencies and countries are supported?+
Any currency. Historical rates are fetched automatically from the European Central Bank (via Frankfurter) and fxratesapi.com, which also covers the Mauritian rupee; you can enter any other rate by hand. Tax — VAT and corporate income tax — is computed for Mauritius today; companies elsewhere can keep their books in Qontab and export the ledger for their local filing.
05Is my financial data secure?+
TLS in transit (1.2 minimum, 1.3 preferred), AES-256-GCM for stored secrets, tenant isolation on every query in the API layer, HTTP-only session cookies, two-factor authentication and passkeys, and an audit log of changes. Qontab is not SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified and has not been penetration-tested by a third party yet. See section 06.
06Can I try Qontab for free?+
Yes — 14-day Pro trial, no credit card. After the trial you can keep using the Free tier indefinitely or upgrade.
07Who is Qontab designed for?+
Freelancers, auto-entrepreneurs and small businesses up to about 20 employees — and their accountants. An accountant invited into several companies switches between them with a single login.
08Can multiple team members use the same account?+
Yes — role-based access (Owner, Admin, Accountant, Advisor, Viewer). Free includes 2 members, so you can invite your accountant; Basic 3, Pro 5; Enterprise is unlimited. Members are counted for your whole organization: someone who works on several of your companies takes one seat.
09What happens to my books if I cancel?+
Your company moves to the Free plan; your books are not deleted, and you can still view and print your P&L and balance sheet. Exporting the full ledger as CSV with its supporting documents is part of Pro and Enterprise, so take that export before you downgrade.
