Understanding Ledger

Review, categorize, and monitor financial activity across cash, accounting, AP/AR, and inventory views in one operational workspace.

1. Overview

Ledger is the operational transaction workspace inside Finz.

It helps operators review, organize, and monitor financial activity across cash movement, accounting activity, payables, receivables, and inventory-related transactions in one place.

The Ledger workspace is designed to answer questions such as:

  • where is money going?

  • what transactions still need review?

  • which vendors or customers are driving activity?

  • what obligations are overdue or upcoming?

  • which transactions are affecting margin and cash flow?

  • what changed this week?

Ledger combines transaction visibility, categorization workflows, filtering tools, and operational finance context into a single review surface.
