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.

enable you to remain focussed on the horizon even during times of
growth or disruption.
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
Thanks to the loyalty of our users, 2025 marked our most pivotal
milestone yet: Gimbla became a profitable company. Moving beyond
the "startup" phase, we are now a stable, self-sustaining partner
for our clients, ready to reinvest in the future and keep
innovating for years to come.
