What is okke?

We built okke to be a fast, easy to use bookkeeping software specifically for sole-traders and smaller businesses. Unlike other accounting, bookkeeping or invoicing solutions, okke doesn't require an understanding of accounting for you to jump in and start saving mountains of time by cutting out the boring parts of running a business. By removing the big business nonsense that clogs up most accounting software (that you don't need or want to pay for) and automating the manual stuff (saving you even more time), okke is the best way to make your money easy. 

Navigating around the App 

Okke is broken up into key sections which can be navigated via the sidebar. Using the sidebar you can also access important areas and other useful tools such as:
  1. Collapse or expand the sidebar to give you more space
  2. Quick Guide - Useful tasks to get you started
  3. Quick Create button - a fast way to create new items, customers, and invoices from any area of the app
  4. Menu switch - toggle between advanced and basic menu
  5. Settings - access the general settings to configure okke to your needs
  6. Help & Support - opens the help drawer, giving you access to help articles and providing on-screen chat with an okke representative
