How It Works

1

Transactions trigger journals

Bank, invoice, expense, payroll, dividend: each creates a balanced journal automatically.

2

Trial balance ties

Sum of debits = sum of credits, always.

3

Manual journals

For adjustments, accruals, prepayments: add manual journals with full audit.

Real-world Use Cases

Year-end accruals

Manual journal for accrued income / accrued cost: flagged as adjustments.

Audit confidence

Trial balance always reconciles. Auditor opens, sees balanced books, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real double-entry?

Yes. Every posting creates balanced debit/credit journal entries against the GL. Not a single-entry shortcut.

Can I post manual journals?

Yes. For accruals, prepayments, depreciation, year-end adjustments. Full audit trail.

What's the chart of accounts?

60+ UK GAAP accounts covering income, cost of sales, expenses, assets, liabilities and equity. Per-trading-entity (you can customise).

Does the trial balance always tie?

Yes. By construction. If a manual journal is unbalanced we block the post and surface the imbalance.
