Budgets, forecast and reports

Knowing where your year is heading

Compare your budget with your books, look ahead with a cash forecast, and export the accounting reports your accountant needs.

01

Budgets

Status: Available now

You set a monthly budget for an account. Kept compares it with what was actually recorded in your books and shows the difference. A budget is only a plan. It adds nothing to your books and cannot change any figure in them.

02

Who reads these reports

Status: Available now

At the end of a month, you can see what came in, what went out and who has not paid. You find those answers in the profit and loss (what you earned minus what you spent), the bank check (your books matched against your bank statement) and the report of what customers owe and how overdue it is. An accountant can start with the list of account balances and the full record of entries. All these reports use the same books, so you and your accountant look at the same recorded transactions.

03

Reports you can open today

Status: Available now

The list of account balances, the full record of entries, the account of each customer and supplier, what customers owe you and what you owe suppliers by how overdue it is, the financial statements, the VAT return, and the record of who changed what. The accounting reports use only entries confirmed into your books. Each VAT return box opens to the entries behind it.

04

Exports for your accountant

Status: Available now

Your accountant can export the list of account balances, the full record of entries and the other working reports into their own tools. The export shows your books exactly as they are. It does not create a second version of them.

05

What Kept will not do

Status: Available now

No one can edit or override a report. If a figure on a report is wrong, you fix it with an entry in your books that everyone can see. The report then changes because your books changed. A report that can disagree with your books is one nobody can rely on.

06

Cash forecast

Status: Available now

Kept prepares a cash forecast for the coming months. Use it together with your budgets, what customers owe you and the bills you need to pay.

Stop typing in receipts. Start checking them.

Kept is launching soon in the UAE. Leave your name and email and we will write to you before it opens.
