Accounting software that doesn't ask you to key in entries
A journal entry isn't extra work — it's the consequence of work that already happened. When the invoice writes its own entry, the most common sources of error disappear: the double keying, the forgotten entry, and the discrepancy that surfaces at month end with no obvious origin.
What posts itself
Invoices and receipts
Debit, credit and tax on every line, with the customer account moving with the invoice rather than after it.
Stock movements
Cost of goods sold and the stock impact post with every issue note, so the warehouse and the books never disagree.
Expenses and purchases
A supplier invoice posts to its account and cost centre, with withholding tax where it applies.
Payroll
A payroll run posts with its deductions and taxes in one go, not as a manual entry you rewrite monthly.
Books that hold up to review
The difference between tidy books and defensible books is the trail: who created an entry, when it changed, and which document it rests on.
A complete audit trail
Every entry carries its author and its edit history. No silent deletions, no untraceable changes.
Ready charts of accounts
A chart that suits your trade from day one, editable, instead of building an account tree from nothing.
Cost centres and assets
Split a cost across a branch or a project, and record assets with their periodic depreciation without an outside spreadsheet.
A separate login for your accountant
Give your external accountant access that sees the books and nothing else, at no extra charge.
Tax is calculated per line, not at month end
VAT and withholding taxes are calculated as you enter each line, at your country's rates, and accumulate through the period. At the end you open the return already assembled with its schedules, ready for your accountant or the tax authority, instead of rebuilding it from invoices by hand.
Common questions
Do I need an accounting background to use it?
No. You enter what you understand — an invoice, an expense, a stock issue — and the entry is created behind it. Reports are written in plain language, and if you have an accountant they'll find complete double-entry books exactly as they expect them.
Does it handle more than one currency?
Yes. Hesbba is multi-currency, so you can invoice a customer in their currency while keeping your books in yours. Businesses selling across borders need this from day one.
Can an entry be changed after it's posted?
It can be changed, and the change is recorded with who made it and when. That's deliberate: a ledger that allows silent edits is useless for review, and one that allows no corrections at all is useless in practice.
How do I bring in my opening balances?
Send a file with your customers, suppliers, products and balances. Our onboarding team imports it and reconciles it with you before you start — reconciling before go-live matters more than importing quickly.
