Bokio
5.6/10Swedish cloud accounting service for sole traders and small limited companies, covering bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, VAT reporting and an integrated business account.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
Bokio is a web-based accounting service built for Swedish small businesses, mainly enskild firma (sole traders) and small aktiebolag. It was founded in Gothenburg in 2015 and is now part of the Visma group. It covers double-entry bookkeeping with automated entry suggestions, a bank connection that matches incoming payments, receipt capture by phone or upload, VAT calculation and VAT reports for Skatteverket, invoicing including e-invoices, payroll, and simple financial reports. Accountants can be invited into the books in real time, and accounting consultants invited through Bokio Byrå count as free users. Bokio also offers its own business account and card, provided by Svea Bank. Pricing has four plans, billed monthly or at a discount annually. Basic costs 319 SEK a month, Premium 409 SEK, Business 509 SEK, and Plus 599 SEK, which is billed quarterly. Basic lacks invoicing and a bank connection unless you buy them as add-ons. Extra users, extra employees, advanced payroll, Swish, e-invoices, bookkeeping support, and the annual report service are all charged separately. Bokio connects with årsredovisningonline for annual reports and offers an API that is in beta. The main limitation is that Bokio is tied to Swedish rules and suits only small companies. Its reputation also suffered in 2023, when it removed its long-promised free plan at short notice, and users still describe it as expensive compared with alternatives such as Dooer or Briox.
