LOCAL RECORDS · SUPPORTED PAYROLL WORKPAPERS

Business records and supported payroll workpapers for Jersey.

Keep non-GST invoices and expenses together. For documented payroll cases, enter the current ITIS rate and prepare a workpaper to review. JBM does not file returns or replace a complete accounting system.

Install it while online once. When it says “Ready for offline use”, open it from the app icon whenever you need it. Your records stay in that browser profile; nothing you enter is uploaded.

This is a general reminder, not a personalised filing calendar. Follow your official notices.

Keep everyday records together

Enter invoices and expenses as you go, then export a summary for review. JBM does not create complete accounts, reconcile bank statements or determine which expenses are tax-deductible.

Records can be spread across

  • Invoices and client details
  • Expense records
  • Payroll working papers
  • Official notices and deadlines

A simple JBM workflow

  • Enter non-GST invoices and expenses
  • Record a supported pay case and current ITIS rate
  • Review the CER workpaper and complete official filing yourself
  • Export a backup and accountant summary

Three jobs, one program

Use the parts you need. If you have no staff, the payroll screen simply sits there unused.

GETTING PAID

Invoices and expenses

Professional invoices with your own details, numbered automatically, ready to print or save as PDF from your browser.

  • Client records
  • Automatic numbering and due dates
  • GST-registered invoices are not supported
  • Expenses sorted by category
REVIEWING RECORDS

Jersey tax

Local records and workpapers linked to Jersey guidance. This is not a tax-return preparation or filing service.

  • Income and expense summaries from records entered
  • Invoice-entry indicator only; not a GST registration test
  • Indicative 2026 Class 2 planning estimate
  • Workpaper for an accountant to review
PAYING STAFF

Payroll, ITIS and CER

Check and enter each employee's current ITIS rate before every payday. JBM calculates supported pay cases; it does not retrieve rate changes.

  • ITIS at each employee's own rate
  • Class 1 contributions, both sides
  • Monthly pay, or fixed weekly pay for employees employed all month on their usual pay schedule
  • Working CER summary for checking and manual entry

See the supported workflow

The older recorded tour has been withdrawn because it showed a GST-registered invoice workflow that JBM does not support. Use the illustrated guide or contact Toni for a live walkthrough of the current release.

Getting started takes about ten minutes

Install the app

Open the install page in a supported browser and follow the instructions for your device.

Keep its icon

Choose Create desktop shortcut when offered. Reopen JBM from its desktop icon or the Windows Start menu.

Try the 90-day trial

Wait for “Ready for offline use”, then try the listed supported workflows with test data. A matching result in one case does not validate every pay pattern or tax situation.

Contact Toni to buy

Purchases and signed licence codes are handled manually by email. There is no online checkout; request a written quote and order terms before paying. No automatic renewal.

What this does not do

GST-registered businesses are outside the supported scope. JBM does not create a tax invoice or calculate filing-ready GST returns. The invoice indicator is not a registration decision.

It does not replace your accountant or bookkeeping system. It is a local record-keeping and supported payroll workpaper tool, not a complete ledger, bank reconciliation system or professional tax review.

It does not file anything for you. Review the payroll workpaper, complete the official return using your full records and submit it yourself. JBM does not provide filing-ready GST amounts. You stay responsible for what you submit.

It is not a shared system. One computer, one person at a time. If two people need to be in the books at once, this is not the right tool and I will tell you so.

Pricing

Annual licence, paid manually by written order; no automatic renewal. Renewal includes access to current releases; check the release notes for the rates, rules and effective dates included. Before payment, request the written order confirmation showing seller contact details, total including applicable taxes, 365-day term, delivery and cancellation information.

Questions people ask

Where is my information kept?

Your business records are stored in this browser profile on your computer; the app does not upload those records. The website and program files are still delivered over the internet. Browser storage is not encrypted, so protect the Windows account and keep separate backups.

I already use QuickBooks or Xero. Why this?

JBM provides local records, calculations using the ITIS rate you enter, and a working CER summary for its supported payroll cases. It does not fetch ITIS rates, submit returns or synchronise with QuickBooks or Xero. Specialist payroll apps can already cover Jersey: Ocerli, listed in Xero’s app store, advertises Jersey ITIS and CER support. QuickBooks’ UK payroll documentation describes HMRC tax codes; we have not verified every edition or add-on. Compare your existing setup before adding JBM. It does not replace a full accounting system or professional review.

How do I check the figures?

Run supported payroll cases alongside your current process and compare each pay run. Matching for a few months does not validate different pay patterns, changed ITIS rates, incomplete records or special tax circumstances. Keep checking the rate and source records every payday. JBM does not replace official guidance or professional review.

An employee has not given me an ITIS notice.

Then you use 22%, the default rate Revenue Jersey requires until they provide one. The program prompts you for this.

What happens when rates or rules change?

Renewal gives access to the current JBM release and its listed rate updates. Changes can take effect on different dates during the year. JBM does not retrieve employees’ ITIS rates, and an update cannot confirm that every case or record is correct. Check the effective date and official source for each period.

What if I stop paying?

The program stops letting you carry on, but nothing is deleted. Your records sit exactly where they are and come straight back if you activate again. You can also export everything at any time.

Install the app and keep its icon

Install Jersey Business Manager in its own window, then open it from its desktop or Start menu icon. Three months free; no payment card required.

Free trial · no card, no account

If you already have a Jersey Business Manager icon, open it instead of installing again. Otherwise choose Install the app and follow the instructions for your browser and device. On Windows, create a desktop shortcut when offered. Close the app whenever you like; reopen it from the icon. Records stay in that browser profile; another browser keeps separate records, so keep exported backups.

After the three months

Nothing is deleted. Your invoices, staff and records sit exactly where they are, and come straight back when you enter a licence code.

You can export your records even after the trial expires. If you stop using the app, keep your backups before uninstalling or clearing browser data. There is no subscription to cancel.

Install once, open from the icon whenever you need it

Same program, same private-on-your-machine data - but it sits on your desktop with its own icon and opens in its own window, like any installed app. Keep exported backups. Browser storage and JSON backups are not encrypted by this app.

WINDOWS · EDGE, CHROME OR FIREFOX 143+

Edge and Chrome offer an install menu; choose Create desktop shortcut when offered. Firefox for Windows 143 or later (150 or later if installed from Microsoft Store) adds the app from the Web Apps icon in its address bar and places it in the taskbar and Start menu. After closing JBM, reopen it from that browser's icon. In Edge, use edge://apps to recreate a shortcut. The app includes a Desktop icon / install help button.

MAC · SAFARI 17+ · MOBILE

On Mac Safari 17 or later, choose File → Add to Dock. On iPhone or iPad with iOS 16.4 or later, use Safari's Share → Add to Home Screen, turn on Open as Web App and tap Add. On Android Chrome, use Install app or Add to Home screen.

Open the app to install it

Open the app online once and wait for Ready for offline use. Closing the app window does not delete records; open it again from its icon in the same browser profile. Keep backups; browser storage and exported files are not encrypted.

JBM

Made in Jersey, for Jersey

Built in Jersey for local businesses. JBM links to published Jersey rules and calculates the cases shown in its supported scope. Some figures are estimates or depend on information you enter; official notices, effective dates and special cases still need checking. Release notes identify rate changes included in each update.
