Double-entry bookkeeping with drafts, posting and clean reversals
Every journal entry (voucher) must balance before it can be posted: total debits equal total credits, to the cent. Entries start as drafts that you can edit, attach receipts to and review. Posting gives the entry its final place in the ledger and makes it count in every report.
Mistakes are corrected the way auditors expect. Instead of editing a posted voucher, you reverse it: Ledgeriano creates a mirror entry with debits and credits swapped, links the two and keeps both in the audit trail. When next month's rent looks exactly like this month's, duplicate the entry and change the date.
- Voucher types such as sales, purchases, payments or payroll, each with a short code like
SALorPUR - Parties for customers and suppliers, so receivables and payables can be read per counterparty
- Cost centers and projects on each line for department and job profitability
- Attachments on entries: invoices, receipts and contracts stay next to the numbers they support
- Sequential numbers per fiscal year, references, tags and a description on every line
Start from a chart of accounts template that fits your standard
When you open a fiscal year, Ledgeriano can install a ready chart of accounts, copy last year's chart or start from an empty tree. Five templates ship with the product, from a 97-account small business chart to a 248-account European chart built on PCG classes 1 to 7 plus class 8 special accounts.
Accounts form a hierarchy, so you post to detailed accounts and still read totals at group level. Each account has a code, a type, a statement category and an optional name in a second language. The full list with regions is on the accounting standards page.
Guide: chart of accounts templatesTemplates included
- IFRS, general business~202
- US GAAP, general business~200
- Continental Europe, PCG classes~248
- GCC, IFRS with VAT and Zakat~213
- Small business, simplified~97
Approximate account counts. You can add, rename or deactivate accounts after installing.
Fiscal years, lock dates and a year-end close you can undo
Each business runs on fiscal years you define. A first or transition year can be longer than twelve months, and years cannot overlap. A lock date freezes everything on or before a chosen day, so a filed VAT quarter or an audited month stays exactly as it was reported.
At year end, Ledgeriano closes revenue and expense accounts into an income summary, moves the result to retained earnings and writes the opening entry of the next year for you. Found something after closing? Reopen the year: the closing and opening entries are removed, you fix the problem and close again.
Guide: year-end closing entriesWhat the close does
- 1Checks that the year is open and no draft entries are left
- 2Closes revenue and expense balances into the income summary
- 3Transfers profit or loss to retained earnings
- 4Carries balance sheet balances into the next year as an opening entry, creating that year if needed
Nine financial reports, from the journal book to cash flow
Reports are built from posted entries in real time and shown in the business's base currency. The balance sheet, income statement, cash flow and changes in equity can put the prior year next to the current one, and every report prints cleanly or exports to CSV.

Inventory and cost accounting that posts to the ledger as it happens
Turn on the inventory and costing module for a business in its settings and every stock movement becomes part of the books. Items are valued per warehouse with FIFO, moving weighted average or standard cost, as IAS 2 allows (LIFO is not offered). Each posted receipt, issue, delivery or transfer creates a balanced journal entry automatically, and a reconciliation report shows the stock ledger agreeing with the general ledger.
For manufacturers, bills of materials roll up to a standard cost, production orders collect materials, direct labour and overhead absorbed at predetermined rates, and process costing works out equivalent units with the weighted average or FIFO method. At period end you allocate service department overhead, close under- or over-applied overhead and read the statement of cost of goods manufactured and sold.
- Stock documents: purchase receipts and returns, issues, deliveries with optional revenue, transfers, adjustments, landed costs and write-downs to net realisable value
- Physical stock counts that create the adjustment for you, with movements kept in strict date order per item and warehouse
- Inventory reports: stock on hand, item card (kardex), movement summary, ageing and reorder list
- Job cost sheet with material usage and price, labour rate and efficiency, and overhead variances
- Process costing with transferred-in costs, normal and abnormal spoilage, joint products and by-products
- Cost reports: cost of goods manufactured and sold, three-variance overhead analysis and product profitability
- Lots and serial numbers with expiry dates, FEFO allocation, specific identification and backward and forward traceability
- Production completion: normal and abnormal scrap, subcontracting and other direct costs, MRP and capacity load
Costing methods included
- Inventory valuation
- FIFO, weighted average, standard, specific
- Lot and serial tracking
- FEFO, chosen lots

Everything is also available in the REST API.
Budgets, break-even and management reports from the same ledger
Every business gets a management accounting module that reads posted entries directly, with no exports. Mark each expense account as fixed, variable or mixed, then build budgets by account, cost center and project for each month of the fiscal year. Spread a yearly total with a seasonality profile or copy last year's actuals with a growth percentage, approve the budget and compare it with actual results, with favourable and unfavourable variances by section, account, cost center, project or month.
A flexible budget on revenue or units sold separates the sales-volume variance from the spending variance. Master budget plans run from the sales plan through production, materials, labour, overhead and the cash budget to a budgeted income statement, and turn into a draft operating budget. Analyses cover cost-volume-profit, variable vs absorption costing, segment reporting with ROI and residual income, activity-based costing, financial ratios and relevant-cost decisions.
- Budget vs actual grouped like the income statement, with variance, variance % and a favourable or unfavourable flag on every line
- Master budget plans: sales, collections, production, materials from bills of materials, labour, overhead, ending inventories, cost of goods sold, selling and admin, and a cash budget with financing
- CVP analysis: break-even, margin of safety, operating leverage, target profit before or after tax, what-if changes, product mix and a chart
- Responsibility reporting for cost, revenue, profit and investment centers in contribution format, with ROI and residual income
- Activity-based costing models compared with a single plant-wide overhead rate
- 19 financial ratios with prior-period comparison, plus calculators for make or buy, special orders, keep or drop, sell or process further and limiting factors
Management tools included
- Budgets
- Monthly, by account, cost center, project
- Variance analysis
- Static and flexible budget
- Master budget
- Operating and cash budgets
- Cost-volume-profit
- Break-even, target profit
- Costing views

Product-level parts (sales plans by item, product CVP, ABC per item) use the inventory module when it is on. Everything is also in the REST API.
Record in any currency, report in your base currency
Each business has one base currency. Entries can be recorded in any currency the platform has activated, with the exchange rate typed on the entry or taken from the rates you store for that date. The original amount and the base amount are kept side by side, so nothing is lost in translation.
Reports always add up in the base currency, which keeps the trial balance and the balance sheet consistent even when a group trades in dollars, euros, dirhams and pounds.

Many businesses, one login, and the right access for each person
One Ledgeriano account can run the books of any number of businesses, natural persons or legal entities, each with its own base currency, calendar, fiscal years, chart of accounts and members. Switching companies takes one click, and data never mixes between them.
Invite colleagues by email and assign a role. Six roles come ready (owner, administrator, accountant, bookkeeper, auditor and viewer), built from fine-grained permissions such as entries.post or audit.view, and the owner can create custom roles. A bookkeeper prepares drafts but cannot post them; an auditor reads everything and changes nothing.
- Audit trail of who created, changed, posted or reversed what, and when
- Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app at sign-in
- Owner-only controls for API keys, roles and deleting a business
- Permissions are checked on every request, including API calls and workflows
Intercompany workflows that post the other side for you
When company A books a sale to company B, the matching purchase in company B should not depend on someone remembering to type it. A workflow watches one business for entries that are created, posted or reversed, checks your conditions (voucher type, amount, account, party, tag or a custom expression) and then acts.
It can build a new entry in another business from a template with amount formulas, mirror the entry through an account map, or call a URL. Loop protection, a dry-run test and a run history are built in. See the details on the intercompany workflows page.
Guide: intercompany automation
A REST API for everything you can do in the dashboard
Each business has its own API at https://api.ledgeriano.com/api/v1. Create accounts, post journal entries safely with an idempotency key, pull a trial balance or subscribe to signed webhooks such as entry.posted. The business owner creates, rotates and revokes keys with read or write abilities.
Errors come back in one predictable shape with a machine code and a readable message. Start on the developer page or open the reference directly.
Regional charts and a fiscal year that fits
Each business picks its own standard and region: IFRS, US GAAP, a European PCG chart, GCC IFRS with VAT and Zakat or the small-business chart. Fiscal years can start in any month, so a company on an April to March year sits next to one that follows the calendar year.
Accounts can carry a name in a second language, so the same chart reads naturally for a local accountant and a foreign shareholder. Read more about regional charts on the standards page.
