About us
Built in Melbourne by a team that knows what it's like to run a small to medium business — the late-night invoicing, the spreadsheet chaos, the app fatigue. From tradies to restaurants, salons to freelancers.
Our mission
We're not trying to be the next Salesforce. We're building the anti-Salesforce — software that's so simple you never need a training session, so affordable you never think twice, and so complete you never need another app.
We don't build for enterprise. We build for the tradie quoting from a van, the cleaner invoicing between jobs, the PT booking clients at 6am.
Every feature earns its place. No bloat, no feature-gated upsells, no 200-page setup guides. If it takes more than 30 seconds, we redesign it.
GST, ABN validation, ATO compliance, and Australian bank integrations. Not an afterthought — the foundation everything is built on.
We'll never sell your data or lock you in. Export everything anytime. Your client list, your invoices, your history — it's yours.
From napkin sketch to a full business platform. Here's where we've been and where we're headed.
Frustrated by juggling 8+ tools to run a small to medium business, we sketched OneBookPlus on a napkin at a Melbourne cafe.
Months of late nights, early mornings, and countless espressos. We talked to 200+ small to medium business owners to get it right.

Founder & CEO
bishal.com.au“I've worked with hundreds of Australian small to medium businesses — tradies, restaurants, salons, freelancers — and the same problem kept coming up: they were paying for 8 different tools that didn't talk to each other. OneBookPlus was born from that frustration. I wanted to build the one book I wished existed when I was running my own businesses — simple, affordable, and genuinely useful from day one.”
Based in Melbourne, Bishal has spent over a decade in digital marketing, web development, and small to medium business consulting. He's built and scaled multiple businesses across Australia and understands firsthand what Australian small to medium business owners actually need — not what enterprise software companies think they need.
