Choosing the Right System

Rounded vs. Others

Finding the right accounting and invoicing system can be overwhelming. Accounting software is often designed with larger business needs in mind. It can be hard to use, with complex features that result in prices that are too expensive for sole traders.

There's no point in paying for a system that gives you payroll, or inventory tracking if you don't need it. Not to mention, trying to figure out which features you're supposed to use can make your head spin.

Rounded is made specifically for Australian / NZ sole traders and freelancers. It was made to be easy, intuitive and efficient — with everything you need and nothing you don't.

Let's see if Rounded is
the right system for you

When to choose Rounded

You're an Australian / NZ sole trader or freelancer

You need simple and intuitive software designed for solo business needs

You want to send invoices and manage your income, expenses, taxes, and accounting all in one place

When not to choose Rounded

You're not an Australian / NZ sole trader or freelancer

You need payroll functions for employees

You need to track inventory and cost of goods

You need to accrue income and/or expenses and need a chart of accounts

I love Rounded. I appreciate the beautiful, user-friendly design which makes it so easy. The support is AMAZING. I used to forget to do it all the time but the user-friendly design actually makes it pleasant, so I feel super organised and on top of things!

Johnny Trinham

I’m no book keeper so I love the simplicity of Rounded, and the way it helps me to feel in control of my finances. Their support is second to none with a helpful team always at the ready. As a small business owner this is exactly what I need.

Karen Bloomfield

Artist

Brilliant. Easy and works well. My accounting, invoicing and tax has never been easier.

Monika Falcon

Has changed my accounting game! Perfect for sole traders. Easy to use & can do everything from my phone or computer. Highly recommend!

Sallie Davies

Miss Sallies Cuisine

Excellent system. The support is easy to access and they are very good and precise. I have been using Rounded for about 2 or 3 weeks now and this app saves me doing so much manually process. Worth it.

Melissa Gerke

Freelance SEO Copywriter

I thought I was quite happy using a spreadsheet for my accounting, but for Australian freelancers, it is so much better. It links to my bank account, helps me with tax and also accepts credit card payment. It makes me look more professional.

Chris Betcher

Consultant

The way Rounded works just makes sense to me. The invoices are beautifully designed, the payment tracking makes sense, and the overall design of both the website and the app are delightful to use. Wow, did I just call an accounting tool delightful?

Michael Osborne

The best accounting software I've ever used for my business!

Moo Baulch

I find Rounded easy and intuitive to use. It's the perfect match for my small sole trading environment. Great, responsive support from the team too. Highly recommended!

Rounded has saved me so much time! Turning quotes to invoices and receipts is simple. The bank feed helps me track expenses and income. With Rounded, I feel like I have a colourful and brilliant personal assistant.

Patrick Jones

Photographer

I had doubts that I’d find a better accounting app in Australia, but Rounded has proved me wrong. All the features I need are there, including Stripe for invoice payments & reporting for tax time. The app is well designed, packed w/ features & easy to use.

Bradley Nunn

Service Technician

Good layout, very easy to navigate through. Enjoying the experience.

Laura Russo

Freelance Editor and Writer

Fees are comparatively low and save me SO much time that it actually saves me money when compared to the tedious hours I used to spend fiddling around with Excel spreadsheets. I feel super organised and confident with my finances now.

Marie Angel Albanese

Love it, love it, love it. Rounded is the most easiest to use. I've used Xero wasn't happy with it. NOW on top of the world. The staff behind it are amazing, they answered all my questions I had. Thank you ladies and guys. Best ever app

Jo Ross

Fantastic accounting app! It's such a stress relief! The invoicing system is simple easy and just works! Connection to my bank account is flawless and it makes reconciliation a breeze. I highly recommend this app for any small business!

Great app and very easy to use. Allows me to do what I need on the road and access and send invoices as well as recording expenses. Amazing support from the Rounded team too.

Mark Valenzia

Freelance Web Developer

The Rounded team have created an amazing app for freelancers and anyone just wanting to track their expenses and side projects. Nice UI and UX which can be hard to find these days. Two 👍👍up.

Andrea Lovell

I have recommended Rounded to a number of people and have actually shown them how it all works; I can’t speak highly enough of this very accessible software particularly for small business owners.

Justin Valentino

Photographer / Videographer / DJ / Music Producer

Stumbled upon Rounded when searching on Google. First of all, their support and customer service is some of the best I've seen! I'm a bit of noob with all this stuff but they make it super easy and simple to follow 🙂 Thanks guys!

Sarah Turner

Camera Assistant

I found Xero far too complicated and expensive for more than 5 invoices per week - Rounded has it all - for just a small yearly fee - instant help online chat, simple user interface and they take suggestions seriously and update the program as they go.

Leonie Waldron

Chameleon Copywriting & Content Marketing

Just brilliant. Does everything I need as a sole trader. No complicated rubbish, just the important stuff you need to keep your business running. Great support too. Highly recommended for Aussie micro businesses.

Joh Kohler

Rounded has made my life so much easier! Invoicing clients is a breeze and my clients now pay me quickly. Tracking expenses as I go makes tax time way less time consuming. And as a newbie to charging GST, BAS is so simple and pain-free.

Naomi Lewandoski

Vocal Coach

Easy to use, support is immediate, friendly and fixes the issue. Rounded has made my account keeping so simple with everything in one place.

Olivia Ferraro

Marriage celebrant

I need an accounting program that is straight forward and efficient. Rounded joined my party and boom, invoices and keeping track of my finances didn’t feel like a chore. Seeing everything in one place, has been a game changer.

Sarah Holder

Virtual Assistant

I've been using Rounded for just over 12 months now. I was nervous switching over from the free software I was using prior to that, but I needn't have been. I most certainly have seen a return on my investment in terms of time saved with my bookkeeping.

Simon Woodard

Web Developer

Great app. Simple to keep track of business finances.

Katie Danaher

Medico-legal editor

Before Rounded my fortnightly invoicing was a headache and took far too much time. Rounded is exceptionally user friendly and the people very approachable, responsive and keen to assist with any questions that I may have. I highly recommend Rounded.

Nik Babic

Real Photography

Cannot recommend Rounded enough! They explained how the software works and answered my questions within 2 mins. These guys go over and beyond to deliver the best possible experience. Easy to set up and iuse as a sole trader! 11/10 highly recommend Rounded!

Missy Dempsey

Graphic Designer

Rounded has streamlined my invoicing, quoting, tax and general accounting – my only regret is that I didn’t hear about this product sooner! Before Rounded I dreaded EOFY, PAYG and every other ATO related acronym that comes with being a sole trader.

Chris Rulewski

Singer and Songwriter

Perfect for a sole trader business. Easy to learn. Easy to use and has a similar experience between desktop and mobile.
