Double-entry Ledger
The books keep themselves.
A real double-entry general ledger — balanced and immutable at the database level — that the rest of Olbongo writes into as business happens.
What it does
Accounting, in practice
A ledger you can trust
Debits equal credits, enforced by the database, not by hope. Posted entries can never be edited, only reversed.
Receivables and payables
Customer invoices and supplier bills, with allocation, part-payment and ageing.
Statements and VAT
Trial balance, P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and a VAT return — exportable as PDF.
How it connects
It does not sit on its own
Work done in Accounting shows up wherever it matters, without anyone re-keying it.
Live
Point of Sale
Sales, credit repayments and day-to-day expenses arrive as posted journals, not as a spreadsheet to reconcile later.
OpenLive
Payroll
An approved payroll run posts wages to the P&L and PAYE, NSSF, NHIF and WCF to the balance sheet as liabilities you still owe.

Questions
Is this real double-entry, or a summary?
Real double-entry. Every posting is a balanced journal, and the balance rule is enforced by a database trigger — nothing can post that does not balance.
Can I correct a mistake?
By reversing it, the way accountants do. Posted journals are immutable, so the history always shows what actually happened.
Do I need an accountant to use it?
For day-to-day trading, no — the entries write themselves. For year-end and filings, your accountant gets statements they recognise.
