Books & Month Close

The crew

• Bookkeeper Crew leadA careful keeper of a small business's books: every receipt booked with its proof, every entry in a category, each month closed on a checklist, and the cash planned weeks ahead.

Plans it follows

• Receipt IntakeEmpty the shoebox inbox properly: every waiting receipt becomes a dated, categorized ledger entry that names its source file, likely duplicates get flagged instead of double-counted, and the genuinely ambiguous ones become owner questions instead of guesses.

Actions the crew can take

• Books statusLast month's P&L (income, cost of jobs, gross and net profit by category), the month-close checklist with the steps still to do, receipts waiting in the inbox, and entries that need a category, each with its id.
• Record entryBook money in or out: payee, amount in ordinary units (e.g.
• Categorize entryGive an entry its category, or change it, found by id or payee.
• Tick close stepCheck off a month-close step for the month being closed: bank, card, payroll, income, review, or receipts (when the leftover inbox files are set aside).
• Close monthClose a finished month once every step on its checklist is done; its entries are then locked.
• Reopen monthReopen a closed month so an entry in it can be fixed.
• List entriesEvery entry for a month (YYYY-MM), with ids, payees, amounts, categories and receipts.

Each action is a small script that changes the app’s files, checked by Gezel’s security settings before it runs.

Files it keeps

Plain files in the project folder you can open, back up, and read: ledger.json, close.json.
