For small manufacturers and workshops
Materials in, finished goods out, both on the books.
Raw material purchases, wages and sales — recorded on the floor, not in an office you never sit in.
Money goes out in materials and labour weeks before it comes back in sales, and nothing tells you where you stand.
Three messages, and the ledger they write

Questions small manufacturers and workshops ask
- Can I see whether a month made money?
- The monthly statement gives income against costs, with the categories you actually used.
- Does it track what suppliers are owed?
- Every supplier carries a balance, and it moves when you pay them, not when you remember to.
- Can I correct a wrong amount?
- With a reversing entry. Nothing is edited away, which is what makes the books worth keeping.
