Finance, GST & Accounting
The invoice is not the end of the story. The ledger is.
A draft invoice gets its tax computed, goes out over WhatsApp or email, and is matched against a bank statement when it's paid — while purchases, credit notes and every posting land in a chart of accounts that produces the reports without a separate calculation.
There is no screenshot here yet — the screens are real.
Finance is live in the product today. A mock-up for this page just hasn't been built yet — we'd rather show nothing than a screen that doesn't match what you'd actually see.
Draft invoice to closed books
What happens after Sales converts a quote.

One Item Master, read by every document
Items, categories, units of measure and HSN/SAC codes live in one catalog. A quotation, invoice or purchase order references it rather than storing its own copy of a price or a tax rate.
Happens on /items in the product
- Change a price or a tax rate once, on the Item Master, and every document created after it uses the new figure — nothing is retyped on each form.
In the product
What you get, and why it is there.
One catalog, every document
Items, categories, units of measure and HSN/SAC codes are shared across quotations, invoices, purchase orders and vendor bills — no document keeps its own copy.
GST computed, not entered
CGST/SGST versus IGST is derived from the seller's and buyer's GST state codes on every document, at the per-item tax rate.
Purchases and expenses on the same spine
Purchase orders, vendor bills, debit notes, vendors and expenses that never touched a PO — all against the same Item Master and vendor list.
Bank reconciliation with three outcomes
Matched to an invoice, matched to a bill, or categorized to an account — plus ignored for noise. No transaction is left ambiguous.
Chart of accounts and journal entries
Every document and every reconciled transaction posts as a balanced debit and credit, on a chart of accounts you control.
Reports read from the ledger
Trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet, and receivables/payables aging are queries over the journal, not a parallel calculation that can drift from it.
Where each step actually happens
These are real screens in the product, not stages in a diagram. You can be looking at every one of them on day one.

Straight answers
What this does not do
Every one of these is a real constraint — some ours, some the upstream platform's. They are on this page so you find them now rather than after you have paid.
GST is computed, not e-invoiced
CGST/SGST/IGST is calculated and shown on every document. Generating an e-invoice IRN through the government GSP/IRP network is not built — a workspace that requires e-invoicing still files that step outside the product today.
Bank reconciliation works from an imported statement
There is no live bank API feed. A statement is imported as a file and matched against invoices and bills; it is not pulled from the bank automatically.
Questions
Before you ask
Does the invoice charge CGST+SGST or IGST?
It's derived automatically from the two-digit GST state code on your organisation profile and on the buyer — the same state splits into CGST and SGST, a different state charges IGST. Nobody has to choose it by hand.
What happens to an unmatched bank transaction?
It's matched to an outstanding invoice or vendor bill, categorized directly to a chart-of-accounts entry, or marked ignored for internal transfers and noise. There's no fourth, unresolved state — everything is accounted for one way or another.
Can we generate a GST e-invoice with an IRN?
Not yet. Tax is computed and printed on the document, but filing through the government's GSP/IRP network isn't built — see the honesty note above.
