Real double-entry books, in the same place as the work

A general ledger with a chart of accounts and journal entries, not a bookkeeping add-on bolted to a project tool. Several companies can keep separate books and still be read together.

Included from Pro upwards

Why this exists

  • The project tool and the accounting tool disagree, and reconciling them is somebody’s week.
  • Group companies mean group spreadsheets.
  • "Accounting" in most work platforms means a list of invoices.

What it does

Keep a real general ledger

A chart of accounts, journal entries that balance, budgets and tax rates. Not a summary view over an invoice list.

Let the work post itself

Invoicing, bills, expense claims and payroll feed the ledger. Marking a payroll run Processed or Paid creates a Salaries ledger entry through a database trigger, and it is idempotent: re-processing does not double-post.

Run several companies without several logins

Each company keeps its own books underneath, and the Entities view consolidates across all of them. Consolidating is a view rather than a merge you cannot undo.

Track what you owe and what you hold

Bills and purchases, vendor subscriptions, recurring expenses, bank accounts, assets and liabilities, credit notes and payment receipts, each as a real record rather than a note.

Value your stock into the books

Inventory holds stock levels and adjustments carrying a reason and a unit cost, and the valuation posts into the general ledger rather than sitting in a spreadsheet beside it.

Read it as a report

A Finance Summary pack gives total raised, paid, outstanding and overdue with a breakdown by status, branded and printable for a client or a lender.

What it does not do

The part you would otherwise find out in week three. If one of these is central to how you work, raise it before you buy rather than after.

  • Bank reconciliation is CSV import only. There are no live bank feeds, no OFX and no open banking.
  • Payroll runs and posts to the ledger, but an admin types the deductions. There is no tax calculation, no filings, no direct deposit and no payslip PDF, so we are not comparable to a statutory payroll provider.
  • There is no manufacturing, no point of sale and no e-commerce.
  • Accounting is on Pro and above.

Questions, answered

Is this real double-entry, or a report over invoices?+

Real double-entry, with a chart of accounts and journal entries that balance. Invoices, bills, expense claims and payroll post into it rather than being summarised over it.

Can I run more than one company?+

Yes. Each company keeps its own books and the Entities view consolidates across them. Multi-entity is included from Pro upwards.

Do you connect to my bank?+

No. Bank reconciliation is CSV import only. We do not have live bank feeds, and we would rather say that here than let you find out during onboarding.

Can I replace QuickBooks or Xero with this?+

For the ledger, the invoicing and the bills, plausibly. Not for statutory payroll or bank feeds. The comparison pages set out row by row where we are ahead and where we are behind.
