Axerity Docs
Getting started

Introduction

What Axerity is, who it's for, and the few minutes between you and a working set of books.

Axerity is the back office for small teams. It's two products bundled into one account:

  • Books — a real double-entry accounting app. A leaner alternative to QuickBooks. The same primitives your accountant uses, packaged for someone who'd rather not read a 400-page manual.
  • Files — a private, encrypted file workspace. The same problem Dropbox solves, but with a stronger privacy posture and built for the documents that go with bookkeeping.

Who it's for

  • Solo founders and freelancers running their own books.
  • Small studios, agencies, consultancies, and indie SaaS — anyone with fewer than ~30 people on the books.
  • People who tried QuickBooks, gave up, and are now living in a spreadsheet they wish they didn't have to maintain.

What you'll do in the next ten minutes

  1. Sign in with magic link or Discord — no password.
  2. Create your first organization — give it a name and a currency.
  3. Post your first transaction — record some opening capital.
  4. Look at a report — see your first balance sheet.

That's it. Once you've done those four things, every other feature is just more of the same with more accounts and more lines.
