Double-Entry Accounting

Real Accounting, Not Simplified Guesswork

BizBooks Pro uses true double-entry bookkeeping - the same system used by professional accountants worldwide. Every transaction has two sides: debits and credits that must balance. This isn't just accounting theory - it's how you catch errors before they become problems.

When you record a sale, BizBooks Pro automatically debits your cash account and credits your revenue. When you pay a bill, it debits the expense and credits cash. The math always balances, and your books stay clean.

Automatic Balance Validation

Every transaction is validated before saving. Debits must equal credits - no exceptions, no imbalanced books.

Complete Audit Trail

Every change is logged with timestamp and user. See who did what, when, and why.

Journal Entries

Record adjusting entries, accruals, depreciation, and complex multi-line transactions.

Account Types Done Right

Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenue, Expenses - each behaves correctly with debits and credits.

Chart of Accounts

Start with a pre-built chart of accounts designed for small businesses, or customize it to match your industry. Add accounts as you grow. Organize with account numbers and sub-accounts.

Pre-built templates - Ready to use out of the box
Custom accounts - Add what you need, when you need it
Account numbering - Standard 4-digit numbering system
Sub-accounts - Organize related accounts hierarchically
Account types - Current Assets, Fixed Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income, Expenses, COGS

Transaction Register

Every account has a register showing all transactions affecting that account. Filter by date, search by memo, export to Excel. See running balances and drill into transaction details.

Why Double-Entry Matters

Single-entry bookkeeping (like a checkbook register) works until it doesn't. Double-entry catches errors automatically, provides a complete financial picture, and produces the reports your accountant actually needs. When tax time comes, you'll be ready.
