Products & Services

Everything you need to understand your money

Pick the tools and the level of support that fit your business.

Know what comes in—and what goes out

Organize income and expenses so you can see where your money is going and stay on top of your business finances.

Invoice professionally. Track what’s still owed.

Create invoices, record deposits and partial payments, and track outstanding customer balances. Accept online payments through Stripe where supported.

Unpaid invoices can be tracked as outstanding balances, while your cash-basis Profit & Loss report reflects payments once they are received.

Keep contractor payments organized

Track contractor payments and create payment stubs as clear contractor payment records. This does not process payroll or file payroll taxes.

Turn your records into a clearer picture

Use the tools built into Bumblebee Books to better understand your numbers. Results depend on your records, and tools are for planning, not guaranteed tax savings.

  • Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports
  • Tax Planner to estimate taxes from your books
  • Owner Pay Planner to plan pay from your profit
  • Create Invoices and Accept Payments with Stripe

Get guidance from a real person

The Growth (Guided) plan includes an assigned HivePro for 15 days of complimentary software guidance and hands-on training while membership remains active.

Your HivePro helps you learn Bumblebee Books and coordinate with your bookkeeper or accountant, who can be assigned authorized access to your business’s books.

Ongoing bookkeeping support when you need it

HivePro bookkeeping starts at $195/month, plus $29.99/month for Bumblebee Books software, shown separately. Cleanup and specialized services are quoted separately.

Ongoing bookkeeping is separate from the Guided plan’s complimentary onboarding assistance.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

""As a long-term client of The Self Employed Lab, I was thrilled when they rolled out their own accounting software. I made the switch three days ago and I already love the Loan Tracker feature—it’s perfect for tracking outstanding loans for my trucking business. They are still growing, and while the platform is evolving, I’m excited to be here at the ground level with them!""

Mason Trucking

Owner, Mason Trucking

""Making the switch for our small handyman business was easy. We pay $125 per month for Bumblebee Books and their team to handle our bookkeeping and payroll. Our simple business model fits perfectly into what they’ve designed. We’re happy to grow with Bumblebee Books!""

Owner, Property Supreme Management

""I’ve been a client for years with the team who built Bumblebee Books and I can say they got it right! It's easy to use, cost-effective, and built with self-employed people in mind. The platform is constantly evolving, and it's the best switch I’ve ever made!""
