Features
Powerful Capabilities, Built for Scale
Every tool you need to run a world-class operation, from day one to enterprise scale.
Multi-Entity Chart of Accounts
Design a unified or segmented chart of accounts across subsidiaries, branches, and cost centers. Hierarchical groupings roll up automatically for consolidated reporting while preserving entity-level detail.
Automated Journal Entries
Recurring entries, accruals, depreciation, and inter-company eliminations are generated on schedule. Template-based entries reduce manual posting by over 80% and eliminate transposition errors.
Real-Time Ledger Balances
Every transaction posts instantly, giving your finance team up-to-the-minute trial balances, income statements, and balance sheets. No more waiting for batch processing to see where you stand.
Period-Close Management
A guided checklist walks your team through month-end and year-end close. Lock periods to prevent back-dated entries, run variance checks, and generate close packages — all from one screen.
Multi-Currency Support
Record transactions in any currency with automatic conversion using real-time or fixed exchange rates. Unrealized gain/loss calculations and revaluation entries are handled at period close.
Drill-Down Audit Trail
Click any balance to drill down through summary accounts to individual journal lines, then to the source document — invoice, receipt, or payroll batch. Every change is timestamped and attributed.
Inter-Company Accounting
Automatically generate matching entries across entities when inter-company transactions occur. Elimination entries for consolidation are created with a single click, keeping group-level statements accurate.
Dimension & Segment Tagging
Tag every journal line with up to ten custom dimensions — department, project, region, product line — enabling multi-dimensional reporting and analysis without restructuring your chart of accounts.
How It Works
Up and Running in Three Simple Steps
Configure & Map
Import your existing chart of accounts or use industry templates. Map sub-ledgers — payroll, AP, AR, inventory — so that source transactions flow into the correct GL accounts automatically.
Post & Validate
Transactions post in real time from integrated modules or manual journal entries. Validation rules catch unbalanced entries, missing dimensions, and policy violations before they hit the ledger.
Close & Report
Follow the guided period-close checklist, review automated variance reports, lock the period, and generate financial statements and audit packages — all within hours, not days.
