Every pound in your business has a place to go.
When you create your business, Zelvorm Books sets up a working chart of accounts for you: bank, money owed to you, money you owe, tax, sales and the usual expenses, each with a code. Add accounts of your own whenever you need them, and open any account to see its full statement.

Spreadsheets have no structure
A column called "money" can't tell you what you own, what you owe or what you earned. Categories drift, names get retyped, and the totals stop meaning anything.
One list behind every number
Every entry, invoice, bill and payment posts to accounts on one list, grouped into assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. That list is what the reports are built from.
