Finance module — Accounting & management

SMB accounting software: from the ledger to closing, without re-keying

eyeot's Finance module centralises your SMB's accounting: ledger, trial balance, budgets, cash flow and period closing. Entries are born directly from your operations — point-of-sale collections, e-commerce orders, supplier receipts and customer invoices — then feed your financial statements and your FEC export. A single platform, from sale to the closing of the books.

For executives, accountants and management controllers in SMBs who want to keep their French accounting in the same software as their sales, purchases and invoicing, without double entry or manual export-import.

What you can do

Ledger and automatic entries

Point-of-sale sales collected (Z closing), reconciled e-commerce orders and supplier receipts automatically generate their entries in the sales (VT) and purchase (AC) journals, broken down by VAT rate, with no manual entry.

Customer invoices, credit notes and matching

Issuing customer invoices, recording payments and creating credit notes are traced end to end. Matching reconciles collections and invoices from the accounting reading screen.

Budgets and overrun alerts

Define your annual budgets per item. As soon as actuals reach 80% of plan, an overrun alert goes out as a notification and a webhook so you can react before things slip.

Cash-flow tracking and overdue invoices

A daily sweep detects overdue invoices with their amount due and number of days overdue, while every collection is traced — everything you need to manage cash flow day by day.

Period closing and locking

A dedicated permission governs closing entries and the locking of accounting periods, to freeze the accounts once the period is validated and closed.

Trial balance, financial statements and FEC export

Ledger entries feed the trial balance and the financial statements, and make it possible to produce the accounting entries file (FEC) expected by the French tax authorities (DGFiP).

Compliance & trust

FEC export compliant with the French tax authorities

Keeping a detailed ledger makes it possible to generate the accounting entries file in the standardised format required by the French tax administration (art. A47 A-1 of the Book of Tax Procedures) in the event of an audit.

Locked closing and audit trail

Closing entries and period locking are protected by a dedicated permission (finance:close), and issued credit notes are logged to the audit trail — the integrity of the closed accounts is preserved.

E-invoicing trajectory

Customer invoices tracked in accounting fit into the French B2B e-invoicing trajectory (Factur-X format) carried by eyeot's Invoicing module.

Frequently asked questions

Does the software generate an FEC file for the tax authorities?
Yes. The entries captured and automated in the ledger make it possible to produce the accounting entries file (FEC) in the standardised format expected by the French tax authorities (DGFiP), required in the event of a tax audit.
Are in-store and online sales posted automatically?
Yes. At a point-of-sale Z closing and on reconciliation of an e-commerce payment, the module automatically creates the sales entries (VT journal), broken down by VAT rate. E-commerce refunds generate a credit note attached to the invoice.
How do I track unpaid invoices and cash flow?
An automatic sweep spots overdue invoices each day with their amount due and their delay, and triggers notifications. Every collection is traced, giving an up-to-date view of cash flow.
Can a period be locked once the closing is done?
Yes. The finance:close permission governs closing entries and the locking of accounting periods, in order to freeze the accounts after validation and prevent any later modification.
How are budgets and their overrun managed?
You define annual budgets per item. When actuals reach 80% of the planned amount, an overrun alert is sent as a notification and a webhook, with the budget name, the percentage achieved and the financial year concerned.
Who can access the accounting entries?
Access is governed by three permissions: finance:read (reading invoices, payments, matching and financial statements), finance:write (creating and modifying entries) and finance:close (closing and locking).
