Every report is built from the same entries the till, purchasing and expenses write; no manual entry and no exported file.

## Steps

1. Open "Financial", then "Reports", and choose the period and the branch (or all).
2. "Income statement": "Total revenue" − "Cost of goods" − "Expenses" = "Net profit" and "Net margin".
3. "Balance sheet": "Total assets" (cash, receivables, inventory) against "Liabilities + equity" (payables, capital, profits) — it shows "Balanced".
4. "Cash flow statement": "Starting cash", "Net change", "Ending cash".
5. "General ledger" for the accountant: every account with its entries, "Opening balance" and "Closing balance"; plus the "Sales report", "Inventory report" (stock value and top sellers), "Expense report" and "Customer report".
6. Aging: the receivables screen shows the distribution of debts by age for all customers, and each customer's (and supplier's) page shows four aging buckets and the "Oldest unpaid invoice"; the home screen ranks overdue customers by their effect on your cash.
7. "VAT / tax return" appears only if you enabled a tax from Settings.

## Notes

- Any figure in a report can be asked about through Dash: 'why did the margin drop in July?'.
- The trial balance, balance sheet, cash flow, sales, expenses and aging reports download as PDF from the export button; the general journal as PDF or Excel from "Transactions"; the invoice, customer and product lists as CSV from their screens.

## What the system does not do

It does not file tax returns with any authority and does not compute yearly income tax.

## Common questions

**The balance sheet shows "Unbalanced".**

That should never happen — every entry is rejected unless it balances. If you see it, message us on WhatsApp at once with the shop name and the date.

**Where do I see one branch's profit?**

Switch the "Active store" at the top of the screen to that branch; every report reads for the chosen branch or for all.
