Accounting
Books that keep themselves
Every sale, payment, expense and salary posts itself. You get real statements without doing any bookkeeping.

July is closed and locked. The wallet reconciled itself — no matching exercise.
The problem you know
Your accountant asks for your records and you send a WhatsApp export, a photo of a notebook and a bank statement. Three weeks before the deadline, someone reconstructs your year from receipts. Nobody enjoys this, and it costs you money twice.
How it works
Smilelink already knows every sale, every payment, every expense and every salary — so it posts the entries itself. You don't touch a journal. You just look at the result.

- Close a month and it locks, so last year's numbers stay last year's numbers

The detail
- Started mid-year? Enter your opening position once and carry on.
- Adjustments, accruals and year-end entries when your accountant needs them
- Cash view for you, accrual statements for them — same books, two ways of looking
- Operating in two countries? Foreign balances handled properly, with the gains and losses kept separate
Where we stop
We keep the books and prepare the statements. We don't file your returns — your accountant does, and they'll be glad the file is clean. If a sale posted wrong, you fix the invoice and the entry corrects itself. You'll never have to know what a journal is.
