What we’ve shipped.

What’s new in Akaunty: features, improvements and fixes, newest first.

  1. Audit log

    See who changed what and when, with a before-and-after view of every change to your books.

    Settings → Audit log lists every change to your organization, newest first: what happened ("Transaction voided"), to which record, by whom (a person, an API key or the system) and when.

    • Before and after. Open an entry to see exactly which fields changed, with their old and new values. Created and deleted records list everything that was recorded.
    • Context. Each entry shows the exact time, the person's email, the IP address, the device and any reason given, such as why an entry was reversed.
    • Filters. Narrow the log to a person, a kind of record and what was done to it, or a date range.

    The audit log is available to owners, admins and accountants.

    Journal entries, closing periods and exchange rates

    Write manual journal entries with live totals, close months and years so they stay final, and keep your own exchange rates.

    For accountants, and for anyone who wants to see every debit and credit.

    • Journal. Every entry in your books, from transactions and manual entries alike, filtered by source, status and date. Each entry links back to whatever created it.
    • Manual entries. Add lines with an account, debit or credit, and see the totals and the difference update as you type. Alt+Enter adds a line already filled with the amount that balances the entry. An entry can be saved as a draft at any time, and posted once it balances. Posted entries can be reversed, with a reason.
    • Periods and year-end. Close a month once it's reviewed, and nothing more can be posted into it until it's reopened. Fiscal years can be closed and reopened too, oldest first to close and newest first to reopen.
    • Exchange rates. Keep your own rates by date. Foreign-currency lines and transactions use the rate on file for their date.
    • Improved: when a transaction is dated in a closed period, the message now links straight to the periods page for people who can manage it.

    Dashboard and financial reports

    A dashboard with your cash position and profit at a glance, plus profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, general ledger and account statements.

    • Dashboard. Your cash position across bank, cash and wallet accounts, and income, expenses and net profit for this period and the fiscal year to date. A new organization gets a short checklist to its first report instead.
    • Profit and loss, balance sheet and trial balance. Choose a date range or an as-of date, show one to four levels of accounts or all of them, and hide zero rows. The balance sheet checks that assets equal liabilities plus equity; the trial balance checks that debits equal credits.
    • General ledger and account statements. Every line, account by account, and any single account with a running balance. Click an account in any report to open its statement for the same dates.
    • Print-ready. Print a report or save it as a PDF; the app's navigation stays off the page.
    • Improved: the dashboard's profit figures now link to the full profit and loss, and an account's page links to its statement.
  2. Transactions and quick add

    Record income, expenses and transfers like a note. Every one becomes a balanced journal entry you can inspect, and edits keep a full history.

    This is the screen you'll use most, so it got the most care.

    • Quick add. Open it from New transaction, from ⌘K, or from any money account's page. Choose income, expense or transfer, type the amount, pick a category and an account, and press Enter. ⌘/Ctrl+Enter saves and starts another, keeping the type, account and date.
    • Real books underneath. An expense posts as a debit to the expense and a credit to the account that paid it. View journal entry on any transaction shows the lines.
    • Edit without losing history. Editing a posted transaction reverses the original entry and posts a new one; voiding reverses it. The transaction's history shows each step.
    • Drafts. Save a transaction as a draft and post it later.
    • Multiple currencies. When an account is in another currency, the exchange rate is filled in from your rates on file and the amount in your base currency is shown before you save. You can type your own rate instead.
    • Find anything. Search and filter by type, status, account, category, contact and dates. Filters live in the URL, so a filtered list can be bookmarked or shared with your team.
  3. Chart of accounts, contacts and money accounts

    Shape your chart of accounts to any depth, keep customers and vendors in one place, and add bank, cash and card accounts with their opening balances.

    • Chart of accounts. Your accounts as a tree under assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses, as deep as you need, with group subtotals that always add up. Search by code or name, expand or collapse levels, and give accounts an icon and colour. System accounts are protected, so the structure your books rely on can't be broken by accident. Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) to jump to any account.
    • Contacts. Customers and vendors with email, phone, tax number, payment terms, default currency and billing address. Search, filter by type and archive the ones you no longer work with. Each contact's page lists their transactions.
    • Money accounts. Bank accounts, cash, credit cards, mobile wallets and PayPal, each in its own currency. Add an opening balance and date when you create one, and Akaunty creates the account, its ledger account and the opening-balance entry together, in one step. A cash-position strip shows what you hold, what you owe on cards, and the net, in your base currency.
  4. Akaunty opens: accounts, organizations and your team

    Sign up, create an organization with a ready-made chart of accounts, invite your team with roles, and secure it all with two-step verification and API keys.

    The foundations are in place: everything you need to get from sign-up to an organization with real books.

    • Sign in your way. Email and password, a one-time sign-in link sent to your inbox, or a connected sign-in provider. Sessions are listed under Settings → Sessions, where you can sign out a single device or every other one.
    • Onboarding in a few steps. Name your organization and choose its type, base currency, country and time zone, then your accounting basis (cash or accrual, explained in plain words) and fiscal-year start. Pick a chart of accounts template (Freelancer, Agency, NGO or Startup) and preview its income and expense accounts before you commit.
    • More than one organization. Keep separate books for each business or client and switch between them with the organization switcher. Akaunty takes you back to the one you used last.
    • Team and roles. Invite people by email as an owner, admin, accountant, member or viewer. Each role sees and does only what it should, and ownership can be transferred to another member.
    • Two-step verification. Turn it on under Settings → Security with any authenticator app. Recovery codes are shown once, to copy or download.
    • API keys. Create keys for your organization with only the permissions they need and an optional expiry. The secret is shown once; after that, the list shows each key's prefix and when it was last used.
