Books that cannot be quietly changed.

Posted entries stay as they were

Once an entry is posted, nobody can edit or delete it, including a program with direct access to the company file. A mistake is fixed with a new entry that cancels the old one and points back to it.

Every entry balances

An entry only posts when debits equal credits. The books check this again every time the file opens.

An edit history nobody can rewrite

Every change is written to a history where each record carries a fingerprint of the one before it. Altering a record breaks the chain, and the next check names the exact record.

A signed receipt of the history

The engine signs the end of the history each day and saves a copy of the receipt outside the company file, in a folder you choose. If anyone later deletes the newest records, the check against a receipt names what is missing, even if they also clean up inside the file.

See exactly what changed, and by whom

Every edit lists the fields that changed with the value before and after, and the person, the computer and the sign-in session behind it. Tax and bank identifiers are masked, so a secret never appears in full in the history.

A searchable audit report

Search the history by person, computer, session, kind of action, subject and date, and export it as a spreadsheet file for an accountant or auditor. Backups and repairs are written to the same history.

Closed months stay closed

Lock a period and nothing can be posted into it. The lock can be extended and never lifted.

Encrypted company files

Each company is one encrypted file on your computer. Account names and amounts are unreadable without the key.

Checks, snapshots and repair

The file checks itself when it opens. A damaged file is kept aside and the newest snapshot that passed every check is restored. With no good snapshot the file opens for reading only, so nothing gets worse.

For owners

Plain words first: money in, money out, who owes you and what you owe. A full accountant view of the same books is one switch away.

For accountants

A complete ledger with an audit trail you can rely on, adjusting entries kept apart from the client's own, and exports that load into the tax software you already use.

For both

Your books stay yours. You can export everything at any time, and a licence that ends leaves your books open to read, export and back up.
