Your general ledger should feel like a spreadsheet.
Double-entry accounting with keyboard-driven speed. Navigate, enter, and post journal entries without leaving the grid.
VisiBooks is a spreadsheet-first general ledger. Chart of accounts, journal entries, and period management — built for people who think in rows, columns, and keyboard shortcuts.

Accounting tools weren't built for people who think in spreadsheets.
You're fast in a grid. Your GL shouldn't slow you down.
Spreadsheets with no guardrails
A misplaced decimal or unbalanced entry silently corrupts your books. You find out at close.
Accounting software that fights you
Click through five menus to post a journal entry. Copy-paste between tabs. Lose your flow.
No audit trail you can trust
Someone edited a posted entry? Deleted a line? Good luck finding out when, or what changed.
Accounting invariants, built into every interaction.
Not features you turn on. Rules the system enforces.
Spreadsheet-native journal entry
Tab between cells. Type amounts. Select accounts from a dropdown. Debits and credits balance in real time. No forms, no wizards.
Double-entry enforced at every level
Every journal entry must balance before it can be saved. Every line must be exactly debit or credit — never both, never neither. The math is non-negotiable.
Posted entries are immutable
Once posted, an entry cannot be edited or deleted. Made a mistake? Create a reversal. The original stays in the ledger forever, with a full audit trail.
Period controls that close the door
Open, closed, locked. When a period is closed, no new entries can be posted to it. When locked, it can't even be reopened. Your historical books stay sealed.
Integer-precision arithmetic
All amounts stored as integer minor units (cents). No floating point, no rounding errors, no surprises. $1,234.56 is stored as 123456.
Append-only audit log
Every post, reversal, and period close is recorded. Who did it, when, and what changed. The log is append-only — entries can never be modified or deleted.
How it works
Set up your chart of accounts
Define assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expense accounts. Normal balance is auto-set from account type.
Create accounting periods
Monthly, quarterly, or custom. Periods prevent entries outside their date range and can be closed when you're done.
Enter journal entries in the grid
Tab through accounts, debits, credits, and memos. Real-time balance indicator. Save as draft, review, then post.
Post and seal
Posted entries are immutable. Close the period. The books are locked. If you need to fix something, create a reversal.
Your chart of accounts, in a grid.
Every account has a number, a type, and a normal balance. Assets and expenses debit. Liabilities, equity, and revenue credit. VisiBooks sets this automatically.
Unique account numbers per owner. Filter by type. Toggle active/inactive. Delete only if unused.
