What Bokio is
Bokio provides tools for bookkeeping, invoices, and expenses, but it is no longer available to UK users. Bokio UK closed on 7 July 2026. For users elsewhere, its bookkeeping templates help record transactions while handling the chart of accounts, VAT, debit, and credit automatically. Bank feeds connect through Plaid, and Bokio says it fetches transactions up to four times daily. Users can create invoices and quotes, manage credit and supplier invoices, and accept online invoice payments through Stripe. Reports cover balance sheets, income statements, VAT, invoices, and salaries; the service also supports Making Tax Digital VAT Returns. Its Apple and Android mobile app supports receipt, invoice, and employee-expense uploads. The Premium plan is £24.95 per month, billed quarterly at £74.85, and includes unlimited users and product support. There is no free plan. Bokio was founded in Gothenburg in 2015 and has employees in Gothenburg and Stockholm.
