Bizim Hesap vs Pennylane

Bizim Hesap is a Turkish cloud pre-accounting service for small businesses, shopkeepers and sole traders. It replaces notebooks and spreadsheets with a simple web and mobile app for issuing invoices, tracking who owes what and seeing cash flow, and it is designed for business owners who are not accountants.

Users create sales and purchase invoices and issue e-invoices and e-archive invoices in line with the Turkish Revenue Administration (GİB) requirements. Customer and supplier accounts show balances and payment history; cash, bank and credit card accounts track money in and out; expenses can be recorded quickly; and stock tracking follows products and quantities. Reports summarize sales, collections, payables and profitability, and the business's accountant can be given access to review records and prepare filings. Pricing is a subscription in Turkish lira, typically billed annually, and changes periodically with inflation.

Bizim Hesap suits micro and small businesses that want straightforward invoicing and receivables tracking without the depth of an ERP. It is Turkey-specific, has fewer third-party integrations than larger rivals, and growing companies with complex inventory, production or multi-branch needs will outgrow it. Paraşüt is the best-known alternative with more integrations, Logo İşbaşı brings the backing of Logo Yazılım and a path to its ERP products, and KolayBi targets the same small-business segment.

The practical choice between these tools usually comes down to interface preference, the accountant's familiarity and the current lira price.

Pennylane is a French finance and accounting platform founded in Paris in 2020. It became a unicorn in 2024 and is one of the fastest-growing accounting software companies in Europe, built around a shared workspace in which small businesses and their accountants work on the same live data.

On the business side, Pennylane handles quotes and invoices, payment collection, supplier invoices, receipt capture with automatic matching, bank synchronization across French banks, expense management and cash flow dashboards. On the accountant side, it provides full bookkeeping, VAT returns, closing and reporting under French accounting rules, and many accounting firms run their whole client portfolio on it. Plans start with an entry tier for invoicing and bank sync and scale up to full accounting and team features; accounting firms have separate offers. Pennylane is also positioning itself for France's mandatory e-invoicing reform, which begins rolling out in 2026.

Pennylane fits French SMEs, startups and accounting firms that want modern, collaborative bookkeeping instead of desktop software. It is built first for French regulations, so companies elsewhere should check local coverage carefully. In France it competes with Sage, Cegid, Tiime and Indy; internationally, Xero and QuickBooks are the established cloud accounting choices, and Turkish businesses need a local tool such as Paraşüt for e-invoice compliance.
