General ledger and close

Underneath everything, Autessa Accounting is a double-entry general ledger. Every entry balances, nothing posted is ever edited or deleted, and corrections are reversing entries. Journal entries, bank reconciliation, transfer matching, recurring entries and ASC 606 revenue recognition feed a month-end close that refuses to run until the month is clean.

Closing saves every account’s balance. Later corrections to October are reversing entries.

In one sentence

Real double-entry books underneath: every entry balances, nothing posted is ever edited, and close refuses to run until the month is clean.

Why teams choose it

Immutable ledger: void with a reversing entry.
Card payments matched once, never counted as spending.
Close checks itself and lets you fix blockers in place.

Capabilities

What is in general ledger and close?

Double-entry general ledger

Autessa Accounting keeps a full double-entry general ledger where every entry balances and a posted entry is corrected only by a reversing void, so history is never rewritten.

Journal entries

Manual journal entries show debits and credits balancing as you type, tag lines with departments and projects, and post only when they balance.

Bank reconciliation

Bank reconcile ties the books to a statement’s ending balance: tick each cleared line and finish when the difference is $0.00, with uploaded statements filling it in.

Transfer and deposit matching

Match transfers pairs a bank payment with its card credit so a card payment posts once and never counts as spending, and applies deposits to open invoices.

Recurring entries

Recurring entries are journal templates on a weekly-to-yearly schedule; “Post what’s due” posts every template that has come due and never double-posts.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition schedules hold revenue billed up front in Deferred Revenue and release an even monthly share into Revenue, straight-line under ASC 606.

Month-end close

Month-end close checks that nothing is waiting, every transfer is matched and the books balance, lets you fix blockers in place, then saves every account’s balance.

Chart of accounts and categories

A category says what money was for and an account is where it lands; Autessa Accounting ships a startup chart of accounts and two-level categories you can extend.
