Questions carpenters ask

I'm a sole trader. Is it overkill?+

It's built for exactly that: one person, one ute, one set of books. Setup takes ten minutes and there's nothing to configure that you don't use.

Can I try it first?+

Yes. The Solo plan starts with a 14-day free trial; your key is emailed straight away and nothing is charged until the trial ends.
