Books that fill themselves in

Bookkeeping done monthly from a shoebox tells you what happened six weeks ago. By then the decision it should have informed has been made.

Every sale, deposit, refund, card fee and technician hour posts to the books as it happens. The P&L is current because nothing is waiting to be entered.

The screens separate the things a shop owner is usually asked to hold in their head: what was tendered at the register, what the shop actually earned after tax, and what is still owed as work not yet delivered. Money taken as a deposit on an undelivered job is shown as a liability, not as profit, because that is what it is.

Sales tax is tracked as collected and held rather than earned. Owner draws and capital contributions are recorded separately from operating profit. Bank statements can be imported and matched against what is already in the books.

Accounting dashboard showing gross revenue, amount tendered at register, revenue after tax, money in hand, expenses, net profit and a sales tax breakdown — The same period through three lenses, because they answer different questions.

Accounting transactions list with date, type, category, account, description and amount for each entry — Every entry, with what created it.
