About Pennylane

Pennylane is a French accounting and financial management platform used by small businesses and by accounting firms, which work in the same tool as their clients. It combines invoicing and e-invoicing, supplier invoice capture and payment, bank connections and reconciliation, a business current account, cash-flow tracking and full bookkeeping, so the accountant can close the books without chasing documents. All plans are designed to meet France's coming e-invoicing requirements. Pricing is per month excluding VAT, starting with a basic tier for micro-entrepreneurs and rising for larger companies, with a 15-day free trial; some entry offers require opening a Pennylane business account. It runs in the browser with mobile apps. It is mainly relevant for businesses in France: the interface, compliance and accountant network are French, and companies elsewhere will find better-fitting local tools.

Best for: French small businesses that want to share one platform with their accountant.
