Financial History

June 22, 1874: The First Practical Typewriter

On this day in 1874, the Sholes & Glidden Type Writer, the first commercially successful typewriter, was introduced. This invention revolutionized business record keeping and bookkeeping, laying the groundwork for modern accounting practices by enabling faster, more accurate documentation.

This technological leap forward would eventually evolve into the digital accounting solutions we use today, transforming how businesses manage their finances.

Our Story

EasyBooks was founded in 2018 with a simple mission: to make professional accounting services accessible and understandable for sole proprietors and small business owners.

Our founder, Emily Roberts, experienced firsthand the challenges of managing finances while running her own consulting business. After spending countless late nights struggling with complicated accounting software and confusing tax forms, she envisioned a service that would simplify these tasks for fellow entrepreneurs.

What began as a small advisory service has grown into a comprehensive accounting solution that combines cutting-edge technology with personalized expert guidance. Today, EasyBooks serves thousands of sole proprietors across the UK, helping them save time, reduce stress, and make smarter financial decisions.

Our team has expanded to include certified accountants, tax specialists, and financial advisors who share a common passion for empowering entrepreneurs through financial clarity.
