Accounting · How it works

From an uploaded invoice to the ledger, every step recorded.

Upload a document. Accounting (AP) reads it and drafts the journal entry, a person approves it, and only then is it posted. Each entry keeps the document and the agent's reasons.

02Reading and the draft entry

Accounting (AP) reads the document and drafts the entry with TDHP accounts, VAT, the business partner and the exchange rate, with the reason it chose each account.

04Approval and posting

A person approves the draft entry, and only then is it posted to the ledger. The VAT return is drafted from posted entries for your accountant.

What the record shows

The entry keeps the document, the agent's reasons, who approved it and when it was posted.

Demo organization
Parallel work

One Accounting Lead, several agents in parallel

The Accounting Lead splits the month's work. Each agent works its own documents, and every entry waits for the same approval before posting.

Who does what

The same path with or without add-ons

With the base pair, the Accounting Lead covers reconciliation, expenses and the close checklist. Each add-on takes that load off the lead.
