BillBook

VAT-ready invoicing, built around GRA rules

BillBook — the app itself

Invoicing for Guyanese businesses without an accountant. It knows the 14% VAT rule, numbers documents the way the GRA expects, and sends them over WhatsApp because that's where the customer already is.

What we built

  • Quotes, invoices, receipts and credit notes, numbered automatically the way the GRA asks
  • 14% VAT worked out line by line, in whole G$
  • WhatsApp sharing, overdue reminders and a “how to pay” page
  • Stock, expenses and a monthly VAT report — with AI that reads receipts and counts shelves

The standout

From quote to paid, in one flow built around Guyana's rules

A quote becomes a numbered tax invoice in one tap and goes out on WhatsApp as a link. Record the payment and the receipt issues itself. VAT is worked out line by line — 14%, zero-rated or exempt — and the month's VAT summary is ready before the 21st.

circled — the part that makes it worth building

Inside the app

Screen by screen — what each part does.

Real screens from the working product, with the job each one does for the business.

Dashboard

The first thing you see each morning

Money collected and invoiced against the last 30 days, payments by day, your collection rate and who owes you the most.

Who owes you most, and anything overdue, is one tap from the documents behind it.

Documents

Every document, one list

Filter by type and status. Paid, part-paid and overdue at a glance, each with its own serial number.

Once a payment is recorded, an invoice is locked, and any fix goes on a credit note.

Print designs

An invoice that looks like you

Five print designs — this is Editorial. Your logo, colour and bank details, with the VAT worked out on every line.

This one is part-paid: record a payment and the balance due updates everywhere.

Getting paid

What your customer sees

The WhatsApp link opens your invoice, how to pay you by bank or MMG, and an “I've paid” button that messages you straight away.

The money goes straight to you — BillBook never sits in the middle.

BillBook — What your customer sees

Stock

Stock that keeps count

Single units or packs, low-stock alerts, what the shelf is worth, and margin by item over 7, 30 or 90 days.

AI stock scan

Count a shelf from a photo

Take a photo of a shelf or fridge and AI drafts the count. You check it, then save.

VAT

VAT, set once

14% by default. Change the rate once and every new document follows, while old ones keep the rate they were billed at.

The breakdown

Everything it does, for the people using it.

12 things this product handles — most of them invisible until you need them.

What you do in it

  • Five official document types

    Quotes, tax invoices, sales invoices, receipts and credit notes from one form — with a warning when a cash sale passes GRA's G$10,000 limit.

  • WhatsApp sharing

    One tap sends a private link. The customer sees your invoice, your bank and MMG details, a PDF download and an “I've paid” button.

  • Overdue reminders

    A polite WhatsApp nudge that says exactly how many days late it is.

  • Your brand on every page

    Logo, brand colour and five print designs — plus an 80 mm receipt layout for counter printers.

  • Customers and statements

    A balance for every customer, printable statements with an aging breakdown, and your own custom fields.

What it handles for you

  • Automatic serial numbers

    Every document type gets its own series — INV-, QUO-, REC-, CRN- — the individual serials the GRA asks for.

  • VAT per line, rate-proof

    14%, zero-rated or exempt on every line. If the rate ever changes, old documents keep the rate they were billed at.

  • A monthly VAT report and P&L

    Taxable sales, output VAT and every document behind them, with a CSV to prepare the filing.

  • Expenses, with AI that reads receipts

    Snap a receipt and AI fills in the vendor, total, date and category for you to check.

  • Stock, with AI photo counts

    Units or packs, low-stock alerts, shelf value and margin by item — and a draft count from a photo of the shelf.

  • A cash & float drawer

    For MMG agents and anyone who lends: top-ups, loans, repayments and fees, with lending kept out of profit.

  • Tristan, inside the app

    An AI helper that answers questions and takes you to the right button.
