Our "software modules" are stand alone Google Sheet Templates. You make copies of them for free and use them in the privacy of your own Google Drive for the most private, decentralized, cloud based bookkeeping solution possible. This is paradigm busting news and it's actually a bit hard on Bill Gates and Silicon Valley too.

An Isolated Bookkeeping Module - We believe the Bookkeeping Module for Tax Accounting for a Small Business should be digitally separate from ALL OTHER SYSTEMS. There is zero benefit in connecting it with any other systems. Thus a switch to ZAP's Bookkeeping Module should not interrupt any other systems. Even better, it can be run in parallel with anything currently in play until unsure users are on their way. That's why it's such a great place to start.

Multiple Monitors - All Small Business People should be working on computes with multiple monitors and an external mouse whenever possible.
