For finance & management

One ledger under every department — and control over what reaches it

Sales, rent, site and payroll documents arrive in Accounting already mapped to accounts, project and period. You review, post and report — instead of re-entering.

Accounting overview: the fiscal year and period-close state; cash, receivables, payables, revenue, expenses and net result for the year to date; accounting approvals waiting; quick actions; and the control checks the ledger publishes about itself.

The change

From re-keying to reviewing

How it usually runs today

  • Operations run in one system, accounts in another
  • Month-end is spent typing summaries into the ledger
  • A figure changes after it has been reported
  • Project profit needs a separate workbook
  • Nobody can say who approved a payment

How it runs on BuilderOne

  • Operational documents are the source of accounting entries
  • A posting queue shows what is ready — post one, or a selection together
  • Closed periods refuse postings; corrections are reversals
  • Profit & loss and balance sheet can be scoped to a project
  • Approval history sits on the document itself

How entries reach the ledger

Prepared by the system. Posted by Finance.

Every source document knows its accounts through mappings you control. It waits in Accounting Integrations until Finance posts it — so the ledger never changes behind your back.

  • Receipts, invoices and accruals from Project Selling and Rental
  • Contractor and vendor bills and payments from Construction and Procurement
  • Payroll, loans and final settlements from HR & Payroll
  • Depreciation, investor transactions and owner payouts
  • Each entry links back to its source and can be reversed with a linked journal
The Journal Register report: 1,303 posted journals, each with its source — customer invoice accruals and receipts from Project Selling, owner payout accruals from Rental — with Print, Excel, PDF and WhatsApp output.

The accounting core

A complete general ledger, not a bolt-on

Always included with BuilderOne, whichever other modules you run.

  • Chart of accounts and journals

    Your own chart, or start from the default. Manual journals with reversals.

  • Fiscal years and periods

    Open, soft-close and hard-close periods. A closed period will not accept a posting.

  • Financial statements

    Trial balance, profit & loss, balance sheet, general ledger and journal register.

  • Project and building dimensions

    Every journal line can carry a project or building, so statements can be scoped.

  • Cash, bank and reconciliation

    Cash and bank accounts, payment instruments, and bank reconciliation sessions with statement matching.

  • Currency and tax

    Foreign-currency postings with dated exchange rates and realised gain or loss. Configurable tax codes for sales tax, withholding and advance tax.

Controls

Who can do what — and who did

Finance controls are part of the product, not a policy document.

  • Approval routes for purchase orders, bills, payroll runs, payouts and more
  • Separation of duties — for most documents, the person who raised it cannot approve it
  • Custom roles built from individual permissions, per module
  • Control checks on the Accounting landing page: does the balance sheet balance, are periods overdue for closing

Payroll and assets

The back office is in the same books

Payroll and fixed assets are usually separate packages with a monthly journal. Here they are modules on the same ledger.

  • Payroll runs calculated from attendance, approved, paid and posted
  • Salary tax slabs for Pakistan built in; loans and advances recovered through payroll
  • Labour cost allocated to projects
  • Fixed asset register with straight-line depreciation runs and disposals

Straight answers

Questions buyers ask us

Including the ones where the answer is “not today”.

Does it connect to our bank?

No bank feeds or statement import today. In a reconciliation session you enter statement lines and match them to ledger entries.

Is there a cash flow statement?

Not at company level yet. Trial balance, profit & loss, balance sheet, general ledger and ageing reports are available; Construction has a per-project cash-flow view.

We have several companies. Can we consolidate?

Each company is its own set of books. A user with access to several companies chooses one at sign-in. There is no consolidated reporting across companies.

Does it file our taxes?

No. BuilderOne calculates and records tax using the codes you configure; filing with FBR or a provincial authority happens outside the system.

Do manual journals need approval?

Manual journals post directly, by users whose role allows it. Operational documents — orders, bills, payroll, payouts — are the ones that run through approval routes.

Which depreciation methods are supported?

Straight-line.
