What does Gimbla mean?
The name comes from the combination of the word Gimbal and the place that inspired its creation; the Kanimbla Valley in the picturesque Blue Mountains, Australia. We want you to achieve a 360-degree view of your business to ensure decisions are based on the full data picture.

Our Story
2019
A group of friends went on a hiking trip and decided to collectively build something they are all passionate about. Their goal is to make a real difference for small businesses.
2021
After two years of meticulous development and rigorous testing, we opened our doors to the world. Gimbla launched its Free Accounting Software, proving that powerful financial tools don’t have to come with a heavy price tag.
2022
We officially established Gimbla Pty Ltd as a private Australian company. This year marked a major milestone as we introduced paid cloud storage options and proudly welcomed our very first paying customer — a moment that validated our sustainable business model.
2023
Compliance met convenience when Gimbla Payroll earned its official whitelisting from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). By integrating Single Touch Payroll (STP), we transformed Gimbla into a comprehensive, all-in-one financial ecosystem for Australian businesses.
2024
Our community grew faster than we ever imagined. By 2024, Gimbla reached 10,000 registered users, a testament to the trust business owners place in our platform every day.
2025
With the continued support of our users, Gimbla became profitable in 2025. This milestone marked our transition beyond the startup phase into a stable, self-sustaining company focused on long-term innovation and growth.
