Nisaab Books terms

The terms of Nisaab Books, the paid add-on that keeps a business's books. They describe what the software actually does — if something here does not match what you see, tell us.

What Books is

Books keeps simple books for your business. Every sales invoice FBR accepts goes in by itself; you add purchases, bills, expenses and money in and out. From those it prepares the income statement, the balance sheet, cash and bank, and who owes what.

Books works out no tax. The tax already on your invoices and bills is copied as it is, and tax kept back is typed from its own slip. Nothing in Books is tax advice or accounting advice, and its reports are not audited: they are as right as what is entered. Have an accountant check them before you rely on them for a return, a bank or an investor.

Who can use it

Books is available only to a business the firm has allowed: its package includes Books, or the firm has switched Books on for it. The owner sets the books up and decides what staff can see in them.

What it costs

Books is paid for once, at the price shown when you buy it — there is no monthly fee. It opens when the firm has confirmed your payment, and stays on after that.

Books can also come with a package that includes it, or at a price agreed with the firm. Books that came with a package becomes read-only from the day you move to a package without it.

When Books stops

Books becomes read-only — never deleted — when your package no longer includes it, when the firm switches it off, or while your account is paused, including after a payment is overdue past its grace period.

Read-only books can still be opened, printed and downloaded in full. When Books is allowed again, or the account is resumed, they carry on from where they stopped.

Your books are yours

Download everything at any time, as one Excel file. Every entry, change and locked month is recorded with who made it and when, so the books can be answered for later.

Your books are kept and protected as the Privacy Notice describes. Questions you ask the firm from inside Books are answered to help you use it, not as formal advice.
