Bizim Hesap vs Zoho Books

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.

Zoho Books is cloud accounting software from Zoho Corporation, the privately held company headquartered in Chennai, India, that makes Zoho CRM, Zoho One and dozens of business apps. It covers the full accounting cycle for small and medium businesses and is priced per organization rather than per user, which keeps costs predictable as a team grows.

Features include quotes, invoices, recurring billing, online payments, expense and bill management, purchase orders, bank feeds and reconciliation, basic inventory, project time tracking and billing, multi-currency, a client and vendor portal, and workflow automation with custom fields, approvals and scripting. Country editions handle local tax rules such as sales tax in the US, VAT in the UK and Gulf countries and GST in India. A free plan serves very small businesses below a revenue threshold, and Standard, Professional and Premium plans add users, inventory, projects and custom modules. It connects natively with Zoho CRM, Inventory, Expense and Payroll.

Zoho Books offers strong value for SMBs, especially in markets where it has a localized edition, and for companies already using Zoho apps. The interface can feel dense, support quality varies, and in the US fewer accountants know it than QuickBooks Online. Xero is a polished alternative with a large accountant network, and FreshBooks is simpler for freelancers. Turkish businesses that must issue e-fatura and keep e-defter usually need a local product such as Paraşüt or Logo İşbaşı instead.
