Who Zoho Books is for

Problems Zoho Books solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Islas Baleares.
Bank reconciliation that takes days
Without feeds and rules, every transaction is matched by hand. Automated rules reduce this to review and approval. We see this regularly with tourism businesses in Palma and Ibiza.
Tax set-up that does not match local rules
Wrong tax codes lead to wrong returns. In Islas Baleares, books must reflect 21% IVA and be ready for review by the Agencia Tributaria and the Registro Mercantil. For a Islas Baleares company, the local angle is IVA and the expectations of the Agencia Tributaria and the Registro Mercantil.
Invoices that get paid late
Manual follow-up and unclear payment links slow cash. Reminders and online payment options shorten collection time. In Islas Baleares, it helps to plan this around Central European Time working hours.
