Know the moment
When billing is not the whole picture
Three signs you are ready for real books with the work done for you.
01
The invoices are right — but the books are not
Fast billing means your customers get correct invoices. It does not mean your profit, position and tax liability are known. When you need those answers, billing software stops being enough.
invoices sent → books that tell the whole story
02
Someone still does the bookkeeping
If your billing app handles invoices but someone still sits down to enter purchases, reconcile accounts and prepare for the CA — that workload hasn't shrunk, it's just been split. maaya.works removes it entirely.
billing fast, entry still manual → all of it drafted for you
03
Your CA wants a proper set of books
A billing export gets you partway there. A CA preparing your returns needs a full, GST-native, tamper-evident double-entry record. maaya.works produces that — daily, automatically.
billing export → auditable double-entry books
No spin
Where myBillBook still wins
Honest reasons the billing tool may be the right answer for you.
billing speed
The fastest GST invoicing
When speed of billing is the priority — getting an invoice to a customer in seconds — myBillBook is optimised for exactly that. maaya.works is built around the full books, not the fastest single invoice.
offline
Offline and phone-first
myBillBook works offline on a phone or desktop. maaya.works is an online product. For shops where internet is patchy, that matters.
simplicity
Purely for billing
If billing and basic stock tracking is all you need, myBillBook does it simply and well. maaya.works does much more — which is only useful when you need more.
Honest advice: if fast invoicing is the whole job, stay on myBillBook. Come to maaya.works when your CA asks for a proper set of books and you want the entry work done for you.
