Know what every order really made
Cost of goods from your actual costs, a general ledger that posts itself as you trade, and reports that agree with the books because they read the same facts.
Books that post themselves
Every receipt, sale, invoice, payment and refund becomes a balanced entry in your general ledger, against your chart of accounts — as it happens, not at month end. Check the trial balance for any period.
- Balanced postings for every sale and receipt
- Your chart of accounts
- Trial balance for any period
Real margin on every line
Cost of goods comes from the batches and receipts the stock really came from, including landed costs. See margin per line, per order and across the business — net of discounts.
- Cost by FIFO, FEFO, batch or serial
- Margin per line, net of discounts
- Stock valuation at any date

Questions people ask
- Do I still need an accountant?
- Probably — but they'll get books that already balance, posted as you trade, with every entry traceable to its document.
- Which costing method should I use?
- It's set per SKU: FIFO for most stock, FEFO for perishables, the actual batch or serial for high-value items.
