Finance overview
Finance is the control center for the shop’s books. It connects source events to balanced accounting records without turning every staff member into a bookkeeper.
An authorized account is required to use this workspace.
Finance workspaces
- Setup holds private legal, registration, accounting, and opening information.
- Accounting contains the chart, journals, periods, corrections, and posting recovery.
- Inventory explains quantity and carrying cost.
- Banking reviews imported activity and statement reconciliations.
- Expenses & AP handles vendors, receipts, bills, and payments.
- Taxes tracks obligations, confirmations, provider mirrors, and annual evidence.
- Reports turns the ledger and source projections into statements and operational schedules.
From source event to report
- 1
A source event becomes final
Examples include a completed sale, received inventory lot, posted bill, approved payroll, or reconciled bank transfer.
- 2
The posting layer creates a balanced journal
An idempotency key prevents a replayed provider event from posting twice.
- 3
Projections and reports rebuild from history
Summaries are conveniences. Source events and journals remain the durable explanation.
Viewing versus acting
All finance roles can see the finance navigation, but posting, paying, closing, reopening, and moving money have narrower capabilities. A rejected action can be the correct security result even when the page itself is visible.
Still unsure?
Pause before posting, approving, refunding, or moving money. Ask the owner or the role responsible for that workflow to review the source record with you.
