Finance

Your money, explained
in words you already use

See recorded sales, expenses and cash movements in context. Review the source of a difference before deciding what to do next.

End of Day

Trust your team.
Let the system verify.

Compare the cash counted at close with the expected balance. Review the shift and source records when a difference needs explaining.

  • Short or over, you see it instantly

    Once the drawer is counted, any gap shows in red. No guessing, no calculator, no awkward calls.

  • Checked against the last shift

    Review the opening balance and recorded movements for the shift. A difference needs investigation before assigning a cause.

  • Counted per person, per drawer

    Review the person, drawer and shift linked to a count. Those records support follow-up; they do not prove misconduct.

  • You hear about it without being there

    "Cash over/short" reaches your home screen with the name, shift, and time.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Your team records the work. The books follow.

How sales, receiving and transaction templates become financial records—plus cash closing, balances and prepaid rent.

Do staff need to understand debits and credits to record a sale?

Staff can complete a sale in Storebase without creating a separate accounting entry. The completed sale records revenue and cost of goods sold together with the invoice and stock movement. Set up your products, costs and payment locations first. Staff select the products and payment method; Storebase creates the linked records when the sale completes. You can trace the invoice back to its financial records. This describes sales completed in Storebase, not automatic imports from an unconnected POS.

See what happens when a sale is completed

Can staff record recurring expenses without choosing the accounts every time?

Storebase transaction templates reuse the saved transaction setup, so staff do not rebuild the same expense or transfer from scratch. Save a suitable transaction as a template and share it with the appropriate team members. Opening it prefills the transaction form; staff enter or check the amount and complete the record to create the journal entry. Saving a template alone does not post a transaction or schedule a payment.

If my team receives purchased goods, do I need to enter the same purchase in the books again?

With inventory and cost tracking configured, Storebase links receiving to stock and financial records, so the same goods purchase does not need a second standalone bookkeeping entry. Your team records and confirms the goods received. Review the receiving amount and its posting status in the receiving session. Ordering, receiving goods and paying a supplier are different steps: use the linked workflow and the relevant payment or credit record, rather than entering another purchase for the same delivery.

How can I see each store’s profit without building another spreadsheet?

Storebase turns recorded sales and expenses into revenue, cost and profit reports, so you can compare stores without rebuilding spreadsheets. Change the store or reporting period to review the same numbers from a different view. Sales, costs and expenses feed the report as your team records the work. When a total needs explaining, follow the source records instead of collecting a fresh set of reports from each manager.

How can staff close the cash drawer while I review only the differences?

Storebase compares the counted cash with the expected balance, so you can focus on a difference instead of recalculating every drawer. Staff count notes and coins by denomination at closing. Review the person, cash location, time and recorded movements behind any shortage or overage. Confirm the appropriate closing or correction after checking the records; a cash difference identifies a question to investigate, not its cause.

Will moving money between a drawer, bank account and another store inflate my sales?

Storebase records money moved within the same company as a transfer, not a new sale or operating expense. Select the sending and receiving cash locations and the amount. The record shows where the money moved, including transfers between stores. Transfers between linked companies create records in both sets of books, subject to the supported company and currency setup. Recording a transfer does not itself instruct your bank to move money.

Can I track what customers owe and what I still need to pay suppliers?

Storebase keeps receivable and payable balances by counterparty, so you can follow up without maintaining a separate debt spreadsheet. Open a customer or supplier balance to see its transaction history and record money collected or paid. Full and partial settlements update the remaining balance. Record the actual collection or payment against the relevant counterparty so an unpaid balance is not confused with cash already received or spent.

See customer and supplier balance management

If I pay several months of rent upfront, must I split the expense manually every month?

Storebase can schedule monthly rent expense from a registered rent prepayment, so you do not recreate the same allocation each month. Choose the start month, covered period, expense account, payment location and total amount. Review the monthly schedule before confirming. Storebase records the prepayment and creates the scheduled monthly expense entries, while showing the remaining prepaid balance. This scheduled process is separate from an ordinary reusable transaction template.
