★ Oikos for accountants & bookkeepers
Run your whole book
of clients from
one place.
You picked this work for the clients, not the software. Oikos gives you one calm cockpit for every client's books, cheaper and simpler than QuickBooks Online Accountant, with your brand in front of your clients and the margin in your hands. It's free to run your practice on.
Free for accountants. No card. Bring one price-sensitive client or your whole book. Rolling out now, so a real person is on the other end.
It was never about marking up software
Your money is your labor fee, and you keep it no matter what runs underneath. So the win isn't a software markup, it's this: cheaper, simpler books mean higher margin on the fee you already charge, fewer evenings fighting QuickBooks, one dashboard for your whole book, and clients who finally stop complaining about their software.
Why bookkeepers are moving their book
One cockpit, whole book
Every client on one triage screen. The clients who need you float to the top; the tidy ones go quiet and green. A glance answers "where does my next hour go?"
Higher margin on your fee
Cheaper seats than QBOA, and you set each client's price. Watch your per-client and total margin move as you type. The knob is yours.
Fewer hours fighting it
Drop into any client's books in a click, post your adjustment, and you're back. No re-logins, no clutter, no wall of undifferentiated cards.
Clients who like their app
Your clients keep the simple Oikos Books app they actually enjoy. When you make a change, they see a plain-language note, not a scary lockout.
Your brand, not ours
Put your firm's logo, color, and name in front of your clients. Branded invites and login, no custom-site project required.
Free to start
Set up your firm, bring a client or two, and run the whole cockpit for free while you decide. Bring the rest when you're ready.

Free to run. Fair, volume-based seats
Your firm portal, the Cockpit, invites, and your brand are free. A client's seat starts right where an owner would pay to run their own books — no penalty for being small — and drops to our lowest rate as your book grows. You set the retail on top; the margin is yours.
Bundled Oikos AI on every client seat. Seat billing is rolling out now, so early firms start free and we onboard you personally. No hard cap on your retail, and never below your cost.
The relationship is the moat. We built the tool so your clients love their books and you love your margin, and neither side ever feels it.
Questions accountants ask
Is it really free?
Running your firm portal is free: signup, the Cockpit, client invites, and your brand cost nothing. You only pay a volume seat price for each client's books you bring onto a seat, and you set the retail on top of that. Early on, while seat billing rolls out, you start free and we onboard you personally.
How is it priced?
One consolidated bill for your whole book, at a per-seat rate that drops as you grow: $45 for 1 to 5 clients (the same rate an owner pays direct, so there's no penalty for starting small), $30 for 6 to 15, $20 for 16 to 40, and $12 beyond that. You set each client's retail with no hard cap and never below your cost. Your margin is the knob.
Do my clients have to switch software?
Bring a new or price-sensitive client onto Oikos Books first, before you ever migrate your whole book. Your clients get the simple app they like, and you run everything from the Cockpit above it. Try it on one client and see.
Can I move a client from QuickBooks?
Yes. Import a QuickBooks export and the books tie out, the same importer owners use. Bring customers, vendors, the chart, opening balances, and history.
Whose brand do clients see?
Yours, if you want. Set your logo, accent color, and name, and your clients see branded invites, a branded login, and your name on their app. Your own Cockpit stays Oikos-branded.
Will my clients trust the changes I make?
That's the point. Every adjustment you post shows up in your client's app as a plain-language note: what changed, the amount, and a short why. They keep full access to their own books and can see exactly what you did. Transparency is a selling point on both sides.
Is my clients' financial data safe?
Access is per client and revocable by the owner at any time. For firms handling real client financials we put a data-processing agreement in place before go-live. Available in the United States. Reach out and we'll walk you through it.
