Your reporting entities

The reporting entities you are keeping accounts for — companies, trusts, foundations, partnerships and more. Add a new one, or Edit it to change its name, type, jurisdiction or reporting period. Each entity's records are kept separately; switch between them with the control at the top right.

Open accounting

Reporting entities with a live financial period you're still working on. Switch to one to record its transactions, or Edit it to change its name, type, jurisdiction or reporting period. Everything saves automatically.

Set up a new reporting entity

Enter the details below, then complete setup to add it to your reporting entities.

Day to day

Banking assets

Add each account the company holds, then record money in and out. Income and expenses build your profit and loss automatically.

Add bank accounts

Add each account in the company's name. Opening balance is what was in it at the start of this period.
$

Account balances

Each account's current balance, and its value in your reporting currency.

Transactions

Every movement that makes up each account's balance — the opening balance, money in and out, and the cash side of investment trades and asset purchases or sales (shown as read-only "via …" lines). Use the Rows control to show more or All.

Investment account balances

Total value of the holdings sitting in each investment account, in your reporting currency.

Asset revaluation

Three tools live here. Update market value: set the current worth of investments and other assets, recorded as a gain or loss in the revaluation reserve. Update foreign exchange: the grid works out gains and losses on the currencies you hold. Depreciation: write down assets that lose value over time (vehicles, equipment) as an expense in the profit and loss.

Update market value

Choose an investment holding or other asset, enter its current market value and the reason, then save. Foreign-currency cash is handled in the Foreign exchange grid below, not here.

Update foreign exchange

One row per foreign currency you hold in cash, built automatically. Set the current rate (or fetch it) and the helper works out the unrealised gain or loss on cash you still hold and the realised gain or loss on foreign cash you have already spent.

Asset depreciation

For assets that steadily lose value over time — vehicles, plant, equipment. Unlike a market revaluation, depreciation is recorded as an expense in the profit & loss, not a gain or loss in the revaluation reserve. Choose the asset and enter the amount to write off for this period.

Period-end

Adjustments

Match income and expenses to the right period. Record a prepayment, an accrued expense, income received in advance, or income earned but not yet received — the balance sheet and profit & loss update automatically. Reverse any of them with one click when the next period starts or the cash actually moves.

Record an adjustment

Choose what happened. Each adjustment moves value between a period's profit and the balance sheet, and can be reversed later.
$

Adjustments recorded

Active adjustments affect your current statements. Reverse one to remove its effect (for example at the start of the next period, or when the invoice is paid or raised).

Close current financial period

When this period is finished, close it off. Its final statements are frozen and archived, the closing balances carry forward as the opening position, and a fresh period starts on this same company — no need to set the company up again.

Closed periods

Every period you have closed for this company. Open one to view the statements exactly as they stood at close.

Breakdown

Close period & start a new one

You are closing the current period. Its statements will be frozen and archived, and the closing balances (cash, assets, investments, loans and equity) will carry forward as the opening position of the new period. Income and expenses start fresh; accruals are cleared for the new period.

New accounting period
Tip: the new period normally starts the day after this one ends. You can adjust these dates.
