Accounting

What this section covers

Accounting books begin with the entry. Every transaction is recorded twice, once as a debit and once as a credit for the same amount, and the entries together build the general ledger, then the trial balance, then the financial statements. The tools in this section write the first document in that chain and check that it balances before you download it.

What the tools do and do not do

The tools produce a document ready to print or save, and they run in your browser without sending your data to a server. They do not store entries, post them to the general ledger, or build financial statements, which is the job of accounting software. Use them for a single entry, for learning, and for a quick review.
