Close a simple month without lying to yourself.
Separate business activity from owner money, loans, transfers, sales tax, refunds, and asset purchases. Then reconcile every account before calling the month closed.
Record what actually happened. Owner contributions, loans, transfers, and sales tax are not operating income or expense.
Attach an evidence type and reference, then mark the transaction cleared only when it appears in the source record.
Enter each account’s statement opening and ending balance. The difference must be exactly zero before close.
A recordkeeping close with actual gates.
Confirm fit and set up
This tool is deliberately not discount accounting software. Use it only when all four fit checks are true.
Accounts to reconcile
Add each business bank, card, cash, or payment-processor account used this month.
Browser storage can disappear. CSV is useful for one month, but only the full JSON backup can restore accounts, months, checklists, reconciliations, and close history.
Local, not indestructible: business names, balances, and transaction details stay in this browser unless you export, print, or back them up. Clearing browser data can erase them.
Record and support transactions
Best for roughly 40 or fewer monthly transactions. Above that—or if you need bank feeds, bills, invoicing, or collaborators—use accounting software.

Reconcile every used account
Expected ending balance = opening balance plus cleared activity. Compare it with the actual statement ending balance. Zero difference is required.
Finish the close routine
Checklist completion is only one gate. The tool independently checks fit, evidence, cleared status, dates, and reconciliations.

CSV is a transaction record, not a full backup. Use “Download full backup” to preserve every month and setting in restorable form.
Graduate before the workaround becomes the system.
Move on when volume regularly exceeds about 40 transactions, or you need payroll, inventory, sales-tax automation, foreign currency, accrual accounting, bank feeds, invoicing, bills, collaborators, or formal financial statements.
