Core Accounting

Double-entry bookkeeping. Chart of accounts. Period controls.

The general-ledger engine: accounts, journals, transactions, and fiscal periods. Every financial event posts balanced and period-locked.

Chart of Accounts
Asset, liability, equity, revenue, and expense categories with parent-child hierarchy and account-type enforcement.
Journal Entries
Double-entry posting with debit = credit enforcement across all lines. Reversals, recurring entries, and attached documentation.
Transaction Ledger
Every posted transaction filterable by account, period, entity, and status. Pending-review queue with badge counts.
Fiscal Periods
Open, close, and lock periods. Period-end automation prevents posting to closed periods and enforces cut-off controls.
