Overview

Bookkeeping records financial transactions into a well-organised ledger: debits and credits in the general ledger, receipts and payments, journals, and the chart of accounts. From these it generates financial snapshots for insight into the business. Every document across Cloudby posts here through the same double-entry engine.

Features in this function

Highlights

Advance payment processor

Payments can settle multiple invoices at once (multi-source knock-off), record payment details, and handle advance deposits, charges as they occur, and reconciliation before close.

Processes

Bookkeeping to financial snapshot

Documents post journals to the general ledger; the ledger rolls into the trial balance and the financial statements (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet), giving a live snapshot at any time.

Receiving and paying

Receive customer payments and pay bills through the cash and financial accounts; deposits and credit notes flow in their own cycles.
