ChetsBooks runs on any MySQL + PHP 8.4 host. Multi-currency invoices, recurring billing, expense tracking, tax filing, and AI-assisted drafting — owned outright, no SaaS bill.
From the first quote to year-end tax export — without subscribing to anything that lives on someone else's server.
12+ currencies out of the box. Live exchange rates via public API. Bill in each client's native currency without a paid add-on.
Monthly retainers, weekly, quarterly, yearly. Auto-send invoices when due.
Multiple tax rates, compound taxes, VAT/GST friendly, year-end 1099 export.
Prism-PHP drafts line descriptions, categorises expenses, and writes payment-reminder copy. Falls back to deterministic templates when AI is off.
"Senior Laravel consulting · API design review and refactoring for the checkout flow, week of Oct 14."
No Redis, no Postgres, no queue daemons. Just MySQL and PHP. Deploys via cPanel.
Same headline features. Without the monthly bill, the vendor lock-in, or the cap on currencies.
