It’s here: Brass Jacks Bookkeeper is officially live


Reader.

It’s here.

After months of building, testing, refining, and (let’s be honest) wrestling with every tiny detail… Brass Jacks Bookkeeper is officially live.

And I want to tell you exactly why this matters.

For years, we watched something happen that didn’t sit right with us:

  • QuickBooks Desktop users being pushed into QBO against their will
  • Costs climbing higher every single year
  • Pages spinning, loading, freezing
  • Integrations duplicating transactions and wrecking financials
  • Bookkeepers spending more time troubleshooting tech than doing actual bookkeeping

Cloud software absolutely has its place, but it’s not the right answer for everyone.
A huge number of bookkeepers still want the reliability, speed, and clarity of a desktop program.

So instead of waiting for someone else to fix it, we built what we wished still existed.

Introducing Brass Jacks Bookkeeper

A desktop bookkeeping and payroll solution created by bookkeepers who actually use the software. Not tech companies guessing what we need.

Here’s what you’ll get in BJB 2026:

  • One-time purchase. No surprise renewals for the bookkeeping software.
  • Desktop stability. No spinning circles or lag time - just fast, reliable bookkeeping.
  • QuickBooks Desktop Importer. Bring your existing QB Desktop data into BJB for a clean transition.
  • Built-in payroll. Full payroll functionality (with a small annual renewal fee).
  • No forced automation. No AI “helping” you into wrong categories. You control the books - not the software.
  • A system aligned with integrity. Accuracy first. Clarity first. Real bookkeeping first.

Your Price

Brass Jacks Bookkeeper is now available for:
$249 (one-time license)
Payroll renewal will be optional and separate.

Thank you to everyone on the waitlist who believed in this before it was real. 💛

In bookkeeping solidarity,

Hi Reader, If you’ve been feeling squeezed by rising software costs, you’re not alone. And honestly, it’s not just about the price anymore.

Very interested to see what you have.” For years, software companies have been pushing everything toward cloud-only, subscription-only systems. They control the pricing, the features, the updates. Even how you can access your own...
