Accounting that reconciles to the penny
Real double-entry bookkeeping behind your invoices and expenses — not a spreadsheet with a nice interface. Every invoice, payment and expense posts to one ledger, so your Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and Cash Flow are derived from what actually happened.
The problem
Most small business “accounting” is a spreadsheet you hope is right
The point at which counting income and expenses stops being enough.
Your numbers live in three places
Invoices in one app, expenses in a spreadsheet, the bank in a browser tab — and no single figure you would trust at tax time.
Reports that do not reconcile
A profit figure assembled by hand from separate summaries cannot be checked. If it is wrong, nothing tells you.
Reconciling the bank by eye
Comparing a statement to your records line by line is slow, and the difference that matters is the one you miss.
How it works
One ledger underneath everything
Reports are derived, never assembled by hand.
An invoice you send and an expense you log both post to the general ledger as balanced entries. Your bank transactions reconcile against that same ledger. Every report then reads from it — which is why they agree with each other.
What’s included
Everything accounting actually does
Described exactly as it works in the product today.
A real double-entry general ledger
Every transaction posts as balanced debits and credits against a chart of accounts you can seed from a standard template or build yourself with custom accounts.
Books that reconcile by construction, not because someone checked the arithmetic.
Four statutory reports
Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and Cash Flow — each generated for a date range you pick, and each derived from the same ledger rather than assembled separately.
The reports agree with each other, because they all come from one source.
Drill down to the transaction
Click any figure in a report to open the general ledger behind it and see the individual entries that produced the number.
When a figure looks wrong you can find out why in seconds, not hours.
Bank reconciliation
Add a bank account, import its transactions, and see your book balance against the statement balance with the difference calculated for you and flagged when it is not zero.
You know immediately whether something is missing on either side.
Automatic posting from invoices and expenses
Ledger sync posts your invoices, payments and expenses into the books and reports exactly how many of each it posted.
The bookkeeping keeps up with the business without a separate data-entry job.
Payments and expense tracking
Record what a client paid and how — bank transfer, cash, check, credit card or Stripe balance — with part-payments tracked. Log expenses against custom categories with their own payment status.
Money in and money out both land in the same ledger as everything else.
The reports
Four reports, one source of truth
Profit & Loss
Income against expenses over a period, so you can see whether the business actually made money.
Balance Sheet
What the business owns and owes at a point in time.
Trial Balance
Every account with its debit and credit totals — the proof the books balance.
Cash Flow
Where cash actually moved, which is not the same question as whether you were profitable.
The outcome
What changes with real books underneath
Numbers you can defend
Double-entry means a mistake shows up as an imbalance instead of quietly sitting in a report.
No month-end reassembly
Reports are always current because they are derived from the ledger, not compiled by hand.
Reconciliation you can finish
Book balance, statement balance and the difference between them, calculated for you.
One system, not four
Invoices, expenses, payments and reports share a ledger instead of living in separate tools.
Who it’s for
For anyone who has to answer “did we make money?”
Small businesses
Keep books that hold up at tax time without hiring a bookkeeper to assemble them.
Freelancers
Track income and expenses properly from the start, rather than reconstructing a year in April.
Agencies
See profit per period across many clients, with the invoices behind each figure one click away.
Consultants
Log expenses against categories you define and see their effect on real profit.
Use cases
Where the ledger earns its keep
Knowing your real profit
Problem
Revenue is easy to see; profit after expenses usually is not.
WorkBar Flow
Invoices and expenses both post to the ledger, and the Profit & Loss report derives from them.
Result
A profit figure you can trace back to individual transactions.
Month-end reconciliation
Problem
The bank statement and your records disagree and you do not know where.
WorkBar Flow
Import the statement and compare book balance to statement balance, with the difference flagged.
Result
The gap is visible immediately instead of after an afternoon of checking.
Preparing for tax
Problem
An accountant asks for reports you have to build from scratch.
WorkBar Flow
Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and Cash Flow are already there, date-ranged and exportable to CSV.
Result
You send the reports instead of spending a weekend making them.
Why WorkBar Flow
Accounting joined to the work that creates it
Most small businesses run invoicing in one tool and bookkeeping in another, then spend month-end making the two agree. Here the invoice you send and the client it belongs to in your CRM post straight into the same ledger the reports read from — so there is nothing to reconcile between systems, only against your bank.
FAQ
Common questions about accounting
Every transaction is recorded twice — as a debit in one account and a matching credit in another — so the books always balance. If they stop balancing, something is wrong and you can see it. A single-entry list of income and expenses gives you no such check.
Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and Cash Flow. Each is generated for a date range you choose, derived from the same general ledger, and exportable to CSV.
Yes. Add a bank account, import its transactions, and the reconciliation view shows your book balance, the statement balance, and the difference between them — flagged when it is not zero.
Yes. Ledger sync posts your invoices, payments and expenses into the general ledger and tells you how many of each were posted, so bookkeeping does not become a separate manual job.
Bank transactions are imported rather than synced through a live bank feed. You add a bank account and bring its transactions in, then reconcile them against your books.
Yes. Payments are recorded against an invoice with the method used — bank transfer, cash, check, credit card or Stripe balance — and the outstanding balance updates automatically, with the invoice showing as part paid until it is settled.
It suits both. A freelancer gets the same real ledger and the same four reports as a larger business — the difference is volume, not the quality of the bookkeeping underneath.
Yes. You can seed a standard chart of accounts and then add, edit or deactivate accounts so it matches how you actually categorise your business.
