Review a proposed match with the evidence beside it.

Bring the evidence into the books.

Collect records from uploads and email. alloc extracts the details and suggests categories for review against the source. Keep the original document and review history with the work, so your team can check an entry without hunting through folders.

Spend your attention on the differences.

alloc Books brings the ledger, bank reconciliation and supporting records together. Review proposed matches, investigate missing evidence and resolve differences with the relevant entries in view. Routine preparation moves forward while the questions needing judgement remain visible.

Keep the full books in the same product.

Manage sales and purchases, opening balances, journals and accounting periods. Work with bank feeds, fixed assets and multiple currencies, and prepare VAT information and financial reports from the ledger. Ecommerce sales, fees, refunds and payouts belong in that workflow too, without another bridging subscription.

Open the year end with work already prepared.

Carry reviewed balances into working papers, draft annual accounts and a draft Corporation Tax computation and return. See supporting schedules and unresolved questions alongside the drafts. Your team reviews the whole file, agrees adjustments and controls approvals and filing.
