Feature
Reports that are
the ledger, live.
28 built-in reports plus a custom Report Builder, read straight from your journal entries. Compare periods, drill the P&L to source, and export real Excel workbooks.
Read straight from the ledger
The statements you already trust, without the wait.
Profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow are read off your journal entries the moment you open them. There is no "refresh the model" step and no export to a spreadsheet that goes stale, because the report is the ledger. Meridian closed July with $73,400 of net profit the instant the last invoice posted. They are three of 28 built-in reports, from Executive Summary to Movements in Equity.
- P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, always current
- Comparatives against the prior month or prior year, with variance percentages
- P&L figures drill down to the transactions behind them
The whole position, at a glance
Assets, liabilities, and equity that always tie out.
Because every document posts a balanced journal, your balance sheet balances by construction. Cash, receivables, inventory, and payables move as the underlying entries move, so the statement is a live view of the business rather than a monthly reconstruction.
- Balance sheet that reconciles to the penny, live
- Cash-flow statement built from real movements, not estimates
- Prior-month and prior-year comparatives with variance percentages
Follow the cash
Where the money actually came from and went.
Split cash movement into operating, investing, and financing so you can see whether the business is funding itself or leaning on outside money. Operating cash climbed from $92k in April to $128k in July while financing draws fell, which is the shape you want.
- Operating, investing, and financing, month by month
- Indirect-method statement with a built-in self-check: the three sections must tie to the actual cash movement
- Pair it with the runway view to plan ahead
Get paid, chase the rest
See who owes you, sorted by how late they are.
Receivables and payables aging are built live from open documents, bucketed current through 90+ days. Meridian has $214k current and $13,600 sitting past 90 days, which is exactly the pile worth a phone call this week. The same view exists for what you owe suppliers.
- Receivables and payables aging, current to 90+ days
- Aged Receivables and Aged Payables Detail list the exact invoices and bills behind each bucket
- Customer statements from the same data, plus scheduled payment reminders
Slice it your way
Tag once, then read the P&L by department, class, or project.
Tag a journal line with a department, a class, or a project, then group the P&L by that tag. Ask which project actually made money this quarter and the ledger answers: Port logistics carried the margin at $61,200, last-mile courier trailed at $11,800. Project profitability gets its own dedicated report.
- Tag journal lines with a department, class, or project
- Group the P&L by any of those tags
- A dedicated project profitability report, line by line
Build your own report
A custom Report Builder sits beside the 28 built-in reports. Define the layout you need, save the definition and its schedule on your device, and rerun it any time.
Exports that are real workbooks
One click sends any report to Excel or CSV. The Excel file is a formatted workbook with your company header, live SUM formulas, accounting number formats with red parenthesised negatives, frozen headers, and autofilter. Not a CSV dump.
Tax return reports
Four filing views ship built in: the UK VAT 100, India GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and the Australia BAS, each computed straight from your posted tax entries.
Frequently asked questions
Are the reports live or do I have to refresh them?
Live. P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow are read off your journal entries the moment you open them. There is no model to rebuild and no export that goes stale, because the report is the ledger.
How many reports are built in?
28, covering financial statements, sales, purchases, banking, inventory, and tax. Standouts include the Executive Summary, Movements in Equity, Budget Variance, and the Aged Receivables and Payables Detail reports. A custom Report Builder covers anything the built-ins do not.
Can I report by project, department, or class?
Yes. Tag journal lines with a department, class, or project and group the P&L by that tag. Project profitability also gets its own dedicated report.
Can I drill from a report into the detail?
Yes, on the P&L and the Account Transactions report. A P&L figure opens the transactions behind it, and Account Transactions lists every posting on any account with its journal detail.
Does Vinance produce aging reports?
Yes. Receivables and payables aging are built live from open documents, bucketed current through 90+ days. The Aged Receivables Detail and Aged Payables Detail reports list the exact invoices and bills behind each bucket.
Can I export reports for the bank or my accountant?
Yes, to Excel or CSV in one click. The Excel export is a formatted workbook with your company header, live SUM formulas, accounting number formats with red parenthesised negatives, frozen headers, and autofilter.
