QuickBooks Is Too Complicated for Most Repair Shops

You don't need a chart of accounts, bank reconciliation, and journal entries to send a repair invoice. YourBiz connects estimates, approvals, inventory, invoices, and payment records in one easy workflow.

What Repair Shops Run Into with QuickBooks

Hours of Setup for Basic Invoicing

QuickBooks asks you to configure a chart of accounts, connect bank feeds, and set up tax categories before you can send your first invoice. YourBiz is ready in 5 minutes.

Features You'll Never Use

Journal entries, bank reconciliation, payroll, 1099 tracking. These are powerful features, but most repair shops just need to send estimates and get paid.

Expensive for Simple Needs

You're paying $30+/month for an accounting suite when all you need is repair estimates and invoices. YourBiz starts at $6/month.
