About
One system raises the invoices. Another holds the accounts. Somebody moves figures between them, and every month there's a difference nobody can explain, found weeks after the decision it should have informed. We built ObraLedger because that gap isn't a reconciliation problem to be managed. It's two products where there should only ever have been one.
Four of them, each with the behaviour that proves it, so none of this has to be taken on trust.
01
Every invoice, payment, refund and stock movement writes its own double-entry journal as it happens. There's no export from invoicing into accounting, and no month-end reconciliation between them, because they were never separate things.
02
Finalizing a document only goes one way. You can't edit a numbered invoice, because an invoice you can still edit isn't really an invoice, so corrections are credit notes instead. It's the less convenient choice on the day, and the only one that survives an audit.
03
You can read the whole user guide without an account, and every page has a “good to know” section spelling out the real limits and prerequisites. We'd much rather you found a dealbreaker here than three weeks after moving a year of books across.
04
Your data exports on any plan, including the free one. Software that's hard to leave stops having to be good, and an accounting system holds records you're legally required to keep. They're yours before they're ours.
The quickest way to waste an evaluation is to discover these in week three.
It's software. It posts the journals and produces the return figures, but it doesn't sign anything off and it's no substitute for an accountant who knows your business.
Manufacturing, payroll, fixed assets and the rest all start off. A company that holds no stock never sees a warehouse menu, and an extension you've turned off is gone rather than greyed out.
You won't find a feature here that we haven't built yet. If it's on the features page, it's in the product today, with whatever it needs named on the same card.
Businesses past the spreadsheet but well short of an ERP implementation project. You invoice, you might hold a little stock or sell time, and you've reached the point where the books being right matters more than the invoice looking nice.
It handles several companies under one login, with a separate set of roles in each, so the accountant looking after twelve of them signs in once. A client who wants their own access can have it, scoped to their own company and nothing else.
Every claim on this page can be checked against the guide, which is public, or against the product itself, which is free to start. If you find a guide page that's drifted from what the product actually does, that's a bug and we'd like to hear about it.
