Reporting that comes straight from the ledger, not from an export

Trial balance, financial statements, VAT, aging and statements of account in Ledgestra are all built from posted entries, and every list exports to CSV or PDF.

If a report needs three exports and a pivot table before anyone trusts it, the problem isn't the report. Ledgestra's reports read directly from what has actually been posted to the general ledger, so the numbers on screen are the numbers in the books.

The accounting report set

VAT Detail & VAT ReconciliationTax by invoice and by tax code, against the GL
Statement of Account & AP/AR SummaryWhere each customer or supplier stands
AgingCurrent, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and 90+ day buckets
Deleted DocumentsWhat was removed, so nothing disappears silently

Inventory, procurement and sales each have their own reports too. They include item movement by item and by transaction, the sales journal, every pending purchasing or sales document in one place, and a searchable item catalog.

Getting data in and out

Reports are only half of integration. The other half is moving data between Ledgestra and the tools around it:

  • Export any list: list views can be filtered, rearranged and exported to CSV or PDF, either all rows or just the ones you've selected.
  • Import in bulk: items can be imported from CSV or Excel, and other master data from CSV using headers from an exported template.
  • Every transfer logged: imports and exports are recorded with who ran them and when, so you always know which file went where.

One source, fewer arguments

Because every report reads from the same posted entries, the aging report agrees with the balance sheet. The VAT report agrees with the VAT account, and the cost center ledger agrees with the trial balance. Month-end becomes a review instead of a reconciliation exercise.
