Finance & Accounting Software for SMEs
Bring your financial transactions together, keep your books controlled, and understand your business numbers
A clearer way to manage your business finances
Entrapris Finance & Accounting gives small businesses and SMEs one place to manage financial transactions, validate them before posting, review the books and understand their financial results.
Transactions can come from different parts of your business, while Finance provides a controlled workflow for checking and posting them into the accounting ledger. From there, your financial reports give you a clearer view of business performance and financial position.
The small business problem
Financial management becomes harder when transactions and numbers are disconnected
As an SME grows, financial activity can come from sales, purchasing, payroll, expenses and other parts of the business. Without a clear workflow, it becomes harder to know what has been checked, what has been posted and what still needs attention.
Financial transactions are spread across the business
Sales, purchasing, payroll and other financial activity can originate in different parts of the business, making it harder to keep accounting records organised.
Transactions need to be checked before they reach the books
Posting financial transactions without checking them first can create errors in the accounting records and reports.
It is difficult to know what has actually been posted
A transaction being created does not necessarily mean it has been recorded in the accounting ledger. Businesses need a clear way to see what is still outstanding.
Financial reports are difficult to understand
Small business owners should not have to work through complicated spreadsheets just to understand income, expenses, receivables and the financial position of the business.

How Entrapris Finance works
From business activity to posted financial records
Entrapris separates financial activity from accounting posting, giving your team a clear workflow for checking transactions, writing them into the ledger and reviewing the books before a period is closed.
Bring transactions into Finance
Financial transactions can come from Sales, Procurement, HRMS and Finance, giving your accounting workflow one place to manage them.
Validate before posting
Check transactions and imported finance data for issues before they are written into the accounting ledger.
Post to the accounting ledger
Once transactions are ready, post them into the ledger so they become part of your accounting records and financial reports.
Review what is still outstanding
Use Finance Review to see what has been posted, what is still waiting, and whether there are posting exceptions or other items requiring attention.
Understand your financial results
Use P&L, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and receivables and payables reports to understand business performance and financial position.
Close completed periods
Once the accounting period has been reviewed and completed, use period controls to help protect historical financial records.
The business outcome
Your financial records become easier to control and understand
Finance software is not only about recording numbers. It should help your team move financial activity through a clear accounting workflow and give business owners a useful view of what those numbers mean.
More controlled accounting
Transactions can be checked before posting, helping your team maintain a more controlled path from business activity to the accounting ledger.
Clearer financial visibility
Use P&L, Balance Sheet and other financial reports to understand what the numbers mean without relying on disconnected spreadsheets.
Fewer outstanding items
Finance Review gives you a clear view of transactions and accounting items that still need attention before a period is closed.
