What is Acctally?

Acctally tracks where your money goes. Record payments, expenses, and transfers. Connect payment providers. Generate reports.

The one-sentence version

Acctally tracks where your money goes. When money comes into your business or leaves it, Acctally records what happened so you always know your financial position.

What problem does Acctally solve?

Most businesses deal with money in multiple places: bank accounts, payment providers like Stripe or Paystack, cash, and more. Keeping track of all this manually is tedious and error-prone.

Acctally brings everything together in one place. You can:

  • See all your money movements in one dashboard
  • Connect payment providers to automatically import transactions
  • Record payments, expenses, transfers, and refunds
  • Generate reports that show your profit, cash flow, and tax obligations
  • Keep your accountant happy with clean, organized books

How does it work?

Acctally thinks about money in terms of what happened, not accounting jargon. When you record something, you tell Acctally what actually occurred:

What you didWhat Acctally calls it
A customer paid youPayment Received
You paid a supplier or bought somethingExpense
You moved money between accountsTransfer
You gave a customer their money backRefund Issued
A supplier refunded youRefund Received
You put personal money into the businessOwner Contribution
You took money out for personal useOwner Withdrawal
Stripe/Paystack sent money to your bankProvider Payout

Behind the scenes, Acctally handles all the accounting complexity. It knows that when a customer pays you, that money needs to be tracked in the right accounts. You don't need to think about debits, credits, or ledgers.

The review system

Sometimes Acctally needs your help to complete a record. Maybe a transaction is missing a category, or it looks like a duplicate. These items appear in your Review Queue.

Think of review as a safety net. Acctally flags anything it's not 100% sure about so you can confirm or correct it before it counts in your reports.

Integrations

Instead of manually entering every transaction, connect your payment providers, banks, and business tools. Acctally automatically imports and categorizes your transactions.
