Overview

Features

Every screen it ships with

69 screens across 12 areas, all of them built and running today. Every plan includes every screen without a badge; a badge names the plan that unlocks it — nothing here is sold separately as an extra. Compare plans.

Dashboard

Bank reconciliation

Brings a bank statement in, matches each line against what the company already recorded, and shows what is still outstanding.

Bank rules

Standing instructions that say what a repeating bank line is, so the same charge is not decided by hand every month.

A live connection to the bank, so statement lines arrive on their own instead of being uploaded as a file.

Journal entry

Records a manual double-entry voucher for anything the other vouchers do not cover.

Import Imports & landed costs

A purchase bill still waiting on freight, duty and clearing bills before its true cost is known.
