Transform Your Financial Management

The General Ledger is your business’s financial diary, capturing every transaction and narrating the story of your company’s financial journey. Here’s what it includes:

Resources your company owns, like cash, inventory, and property.

What your company owes, such as loans and accounts payable.

Your ownership stake in the company, including capital and retained earnings.

Income earned from business activities like sales and services.

Costs incurred while earning revenue, such as rent, salaries, and utilities.

Journal entries record every financial transaction:
