Overview
Who is it for?
Small business owners, freelancers, and the self-employed who do their own books, including shops that track inventory and rental businesses.
Problem
Small business owners lose hours to bookkeeping: manually typing in receipts, wrestling messy spreadsheets, and chasing invoices. And most accounting tools are bloated, pricey, and store your financial data in the cloud, which means handing sensitive information to a third party you have to trust.
Solution
Argo Books puts invoicing, expenses, receipts, inventory, and reports in one clean desktop app. AI scans your receipts and enters the data for you, any spreadsheet imports in seconds, invoices go out fast and get paid online, and forecasts help you plan ahead. Because it is local-first, everything runs on your own machine and stays encrypted, so your data never leaves your device.
What makes it unique
Unlike QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave, or Xero, Argo is local-first: your books stay on your own machine, encrypted, with no cloud account and no third party holding your financial data. It also rolls AI receipt scanning, spreadsheet import, multi-currency invoicing with online payments, forecasting, inventory, and rentals into a single app, and it is free to start.
