Hierarchical CoA
Nest accounts under parents and map roles so postings land correctly.
Accounting & ledger
A real double-entry ledger under every document
Run a hierarchical chart of accounts with balanced journal entries, lock periods, and produce accrual or cash-basis statements that tie back to source documents.
A chart of accounts that mirrors your business
Build accounts as a parent-child hierarchy across assets, liabilities, equity, income and expense, and map roles like AR, AP, sales, COGS and bank so documents post to the right place.
- Account types: asset, liability, equity, income, expense with parent/child nesting
- Role mapping: sales, COGS, AR, AP, bank, equity
- Journal entries: manual or system-generated, posted or draft, with reversals
- Opening balances and accounting-period links per entry
Statements on accrual or cash basis
Every journal line carries debit/credit, currency and base-currency amounts plus cost center and project, feeding statements you can filter by date range or period.
- Accrual P&L, cash-basis P&L, balance sheet and trial balance
- Journal lines with currency, base amounts, cost center and project
- Accounting-period lock to freeze a closed period
- Multi-currency aggregated into your base currency

Frequently asked questions
Does Kanakku run real double-entry accounting?
Yes. Documents post balanced journal entries against a hierarchical chart of accounts, producing a trial balance, balance sheet and P&L.
Can I see profit on a cash basis?
Yes. Both an accrual P&L and a cash-basis P&L are available, alongside the balance sheet and trial balance.
Can I lock a closed accounting period?
Yes. Accounting periods can be locked so a closed period's figures stay fixed.
Does it produce statutory or IFRS-formatted statements?
Not out of the box. Statements are standard accrual/cash P&L, balance sheet and trial balance; opening balances are entered manually and there's no cross-company consolidation.
