Core accounting
General ledger software that shows the detail behind every balance
BetterBooks general ledger software keeps the chart of accounts, journals and account activity in one place, so any balance can be traced to the entries that make it up.
A balanced entry. An explainable transaction.

ACCOUNTING CONTEXT
Clarity includes
the boundaries.
Account classification, opening balances and imported activity need reconciliation to your source before relying on financial statements.
Can I change a posted journal like a draft?
Posted accounting and drafts have different controls. Use the permitted correction or reversal workflow; do not treat posted history as an editable spreadsheet.
