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.
