How Books works

Books is a full double-entry ledger. You rarely type entries into it directly — it's filled from what happens elsewhere in Flick:

• A sent invoice posts revenue, VAT and a receivable.
• A posted bill posts the expense, input VAT and a payable.
• A reconciled bank transaction settles the receivable or payable.

Every entry balances — debits always equal credits — and links back to the document it came from.

What you'll use most

• Bank — reconcile transactions. See Bank feeds and reconciliation.
• Accounts — your chart of accounts and balances.
• Journals — manual entries for things like depreciation or accruals.
• Reports — profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow and more.
