Features

Built for bookkeeping, tax practice and the back office

Four things the machine on your desk can't do.

Click & Calc

Numbers from any window

Select figures anywhere on screen — a PDF, a scanned invoice, your accounting app — and they land in the tape. No retyping, no import step.

Audit-grade tape

A full adding tape with text labels and inline corrections — change, add or delete a value and every total recalculates. Export to PDF, Excel or Word.

Accounting app integration

Inside your accounting app

Call it, calculate, hand back

Launch DeskCalc straight from your accounting software, calculate, and the result goes back into the field you came from.

Saved tape

Save the tape

Keep the working paper

Save a tape with its labels and reopen it later. When a client asks how a figure came about, the answer is a file — not an evening.

Why switch?

Switch to a software calculator?

It's not just about the functions; it's about how it changes the way you calculate — and the time you get back at the end of the day.

DeskCalc vs. traditional desktop calculators

Editable tape

Made a mistake? Don't restart. Edit any previous entry on the tape and watch all totals recalculate instantly.

Copy tape values directly into Excel, Word, or PDF documents. No more double-typing from a physical machine.

Tax & currency

Built-in professional tax functions and real-time currency converters for international business needs.

Work anywhere

Log in from your laptop or desktop with the same license. Your settings and tape history follow you everywhere.
