Back On Stage is booking-centric software, meaning that our focus is to make all the logistics and paperwork around gigs, much easier for bandleaders and musicians. Although BOS tracks your client income, musician payouts and any other expense transactions you choose to record inside individual bookings, your music business will still need more robust accounting software to manage the rest of your day-to-day operational transactions.

For your accounting needs, we're happy to recommend Quickbooks, which we have used ourselves for over a decade. Xero is also a popular option.

If you're not already using an accounting software, you can try Quickbooks today with our referral link and save 50% on your first 6 months:

Sync Musician Payout Invoices to Quickbooks or Xero

This was the old way bandleaders paid musicians:

1. Musician sends invoice to bandleader
2. Bandleader enters the bill details into Quickooks (QB) or Xero
3. Bandleader writes a check (cheque)
4. Bandleader records a bill payment in QB or Xero
5. Bandleader delivers the check to the musician
6. Bandleader waits and waits and waits, until...
7. Musician deposits the check
8. Bandleader downloads the transaction details from their bank into QB or Xero
