Launch offer
Solo-first month-end support for founder-operators.
If you run the business and also own the books, ArnBooks starts with Solo: a self-serve workspace around your existing QuickBooks file, issue lists, receipts, subscriptions, and plain-English questions.
Solo launch plan
$99/mo
Self-serve month-end support around QuickBooks. Not tax filing, not CPA services, and not full-service bookkeeping.
A plain-English month-end issue list: uncategorized spend, duplicate-looking items, owner transactions, missing receipts, and vendor drift.
A self-serve workspace for reviewing QuickBooks context, receipts, subscriptions, and questions before month-end drifts.
Guided pilot setup for the first controlled buyer only, so snags become product onboarding instead of a standing human service.
Problem
Most solo business owners do bookkeeping in bursts of panic.
Transactions pile up until the numbers feel impossible to trust.
Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, bank feeds, and receipts all tell different stories.
Categorizing the same vendors over and over steals time from selling.
Month-end turns into a scramble for context you barely remember.
Solution
ArnBooks organizes the routine close work and shows you the exceptions.
Bring the month-end evidence
Start from your QuickBooks file, CSV exports, receipts, and the places money enters or leaves: bank, card, Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Etsy, or TikTok Shop.
ArnBooks organizes the close
Known vendors, repeat subscriptions, payouts, refunds, and processor fees are turned into a reviewable close map with source context.
You get the issue list
Unclear items become a plain-English list: what looks broken, what needs a receipt, what might be personal, and what to hand off for cleanup.
QuickBooks layer
It works with your QuickBooks, not around it.
QuickBooks Online remains the source of truth for the ledger and reports. ArnBooks adds the missing founder-operator layer: cleanup guidance, multi-channel context, dashboards, and a reviewable month-end issue list.
Works with your existing QuickBooks Online ledger instead of replacing it.
Creates suggested categories, notes, and review questions before you or your bookkeeper make changes.
Uses exports and available sales context from Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Etsy, and TikTok Shop.
Keeps cleanup guidance separate from your live ledger unless you choose to apply it.

Questions solo owners ask first.
Does ArnBooks replace my accountant?
No. ArnBooks is month-end close support for founders, not full-service bookkeeping, tax advice, CPA services, or a replacement for your accountant.
Do I need QuickBooks Online?
Yes for the first version. QuickBooks Online remains the ledger and reporting system; ArnBooks is the thin layer that makes the month-end review calmer and faster.
What if a categorization is wrong?
The issue list is designed for review. You can accept, edit, split, mark personal, or hand the item to your bookkeeper before anything changes in the ledger.
Which accounts and platforms will connect?
The MVP is focused on QuickBooks Online plus bank/card activity and common online revenue sources like Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Etsy, and TikTok Shop.
Can I still use my tax preparer?
Yes. The goal is to give them clearer notes, categories to review, and source context so year-end handoff is less painful. ArnBooks does not provide tax advice.
Is this for startups or small businesses?
ArnBooks is built for one-person online businesses first: solo ecommerce, freelance, creator, and digital service businesses with simple-to-moderate books.
Will ArnBooks move money or make payments?
No. ArnBooks is for review, issue lists, dashboards, and cleanup guidance. It does not move money.
When can I use it?
Solo checkout is the launch path for founder-operators who want the month-end support workspace. Any hands-on audit or custom help is separate, manual, and not part of the public Solo launch.
