Real multi item entries
One sale, one record, even with seven items, a discount, and a split between cash and transfer.
Cash and transfer reconciled at the source
Save stays disabled until Cash plus Transfer equals Net Total. Your day-end always balances.

Questions people ask about books.
Is Berlvis Books really free for Nigerian small businesses?
Yes. Berlvis Books is a free bookkeeping app for small businesses in Nigeria and beyond. Every core feature — sales, expenses, ledgers, reports, exports — is free forever. There is no trial and no card required to start.
Does the app work offline in areas with poor network coverage?
Yes. Every sale, expense, and adjustment is saved to your device the moment it happens and syncs in the background when the network returns. Market traders, shopkeepers, and mobile agents can close a full day without a single bar of signal.
Can I record sales in Naira with cash and transfer on one entry?
Yes. Books is Naira native. A single sale can carry multiple items, a discount, and a split between cash and bank transfer. Save stays disabled until the split reconciles, so your day-end always balances.
Do I need an accountant to use it?
No. The app produces reports a shopkeeper can read at a glance — profit, cash position, top customers, slow stock. When you do need an accountant, PDF and XLSX exports are audit-ready.
Can multiple staff or branches use the same books?
Yes. Roles, permissions, and per-branch books consolidate cleanly, so an owner sees the whole business while each staff member only sees what they need.
How is Berlvis Books different from a spreadsheet or a WhatsApp record?
Spreadsheets lose data. WhatsApp records disappear when a phone changes hands. Berlvis Books gives you an actual ledger — receipts, running balances, categorised expenses, and reports that survive power, network, and time.
One company. Products that work together.
