What BUSY is great at
BUSY is a mature Windows accounting package with genuine depth: double-entry books, strong inventory, GST returns and a long track record with traders and distributors. For office-desk accounting with a dedicated operator, it holds up well.
Pick BUSY if…
- You have an office operator doing desktop data entry all day
- You need full double-entry, P&L and Balance Sheet today
- You need deep inventory features right now
Pick Finocket if…
- You run the business from your phone, not the office PC
- You want scan-to-add, voice notes and an AI assistant
- You want CRM, outreach and partner commissions with the books
- You'd rather hand your CA a clean export than a backup file
Switching from BUSY?
Run the two side by side — record daily work in Finocket, keep your existing setup for final accounts, and let your CA reconcile from the export.
Finocket vs BUSY — FAQ
Not yet — double-entry, P&L and Balance Sheet are on our roadmap. The pattern that works today: run Finocket as the daily driver, keep BUSY (or your CA) for final accounts, and reconcile from the export.
No automated BUSY import today — and you don't need one to start. Record new work in Finocket from today, keep your BUSY history where it is, and let your CA reconcile the two at period end.
Your CA gets a read-only invite for a live view of your books, plus a hand-to-CA export for any date range — cleaner than screenshots or a backup file over AnyDesk.
