AWRA Accounting — finance that stays connected to operations.

AWRA Accounting Automation links procurement, inventory, POS, payments, journals, bank reconciliation, petty cash, depreciation, period close, reports, and QuickBooks sync into one controlled finance workflow.

Core finance layer

From operational activity to clean accounting records.

AWRA turns finance work into a connected flow. Teams can capture transactions, post journals, track invoices and payments, monitor ledgers, and prepare reports without losing the operational context behind each record.

Chart of Accounts

Structure accounts, system keys, balances, and finance categories for reliable reporting.

Journal Entries

Automatic postings from every module, plus balanced manual journals tagged by department, branch and project.

Invoices & Payments

Connect customer invoices, vendor payments, taxes, and payment status in one place.

Financial Reports

Income statement by period and dimension, balance sheet at any date, trial balance, aging, a direct-method cash-flow statement and budget against actual per ledger account.

Accounting workflow

Keep books current while work is still happening.

Instead of waiting for month-end cleanup, AWRA carries financial context through daily operational actions. Finance teams can review postings, investigate exceptions, and keep ledgers aligned with real activity.

The month-end, run inside the product

From the bank line to a locked month, without leaving the ledger.

Every step a finance team takes to close a month now has a screen of its own, and every one of them posts to the same double-entry ledger the operations write to. Nothing is exported to be finished somewhere else, and the order below is the order most teams work in.

Reconciliation discipline

Reduce month-end cleanup with live ledger integrity.

Accounting automation works best when the financial record reflects the operational event immediately. AWRA helps teams reduce duplicate entry, trace every posting, and resolve mismatches while the people who know the transaction still remember what happened.

  • Link journal entries to invoices, purchases, inventory movements, POS sales, and payments.
  • Maintain evidence for approvals, edits, reversals, sync retries, and reconciliation decisions.
  • Give finance and operations the same trusted source of transaction history.

Frequently asked questions

What is AWRA Accounting?
AWRA Accounting, also called Accounting Automation, is the finance module of AWRA OpsHub. It links procurement, inventory, POS and payments into journals, ledgers, reconciliation and finance reports.
Can I post my own journals, and close a month?
Yes. Manual journals cover the accruals, opening balances and corrections no business document makes: balanced lines, a memo, a date you choose, and an optional department, branch and project on each line. Journals can wait for a second person’s approval if you switch that on, and the author cannot approve their own. A posted journal is never deleted, in any month; it is reversed, which posts the mirror entries and keeps the original on the ledger. Closing a month locks it — a journal dated into it is refused, entries inside it cannot be edited, and an automatic posting rolls forward to the first open day rather than failing a sale. A close checklist lists the automatic checks (unposted or unapproved journals, bank accounts reconciled to month end, depreciation, pending petty cash, a balancing trial balance, unclassified accounts, the previous month closed) beside your own steps; it informs the close rather than blocking it. A closed month can be reopened, and who closed and reopened it is kept.
Can I see profit by department, branch or project?
Yes. The income statement takes any date range and can be broken down by department, branch or project, with an Unassigned column for postings that carry no tag so the breakdown never overstates what each one explains. The balance sheet takes an as-at date. The same figures are available over the API the mobile app uses.
Does AWRA Accounting do bank reconciliation?
Yes. Import a bank statement as CSV, OFX or MT940, or let M-Pesa money moved through the app and emailed statements arrive as feeds, then match each line to ledger entries, enter the ones missing from the books, and complete the statement at zero difference. Completing locks the lines it cleared.
Does it handle depreciation, petty cash and withholding tax?
Yes. Depreciation is posted monthly from a profile per asset, straight line or reducing balance, with disposal booking the gain or loss. Petty cash floats are their own ledger accounts with vouchers and top-ups, and staff advances are issued, retired against receipts and reimbursed. Withholding tax is deducted on supplier bills, booked in step with each payment — its share, in the month it was paid — and remitted against the liability.
Does AWRA Accounting sync with QuickBooks?
Yes. It offers QuickBooks synchronisation with sync-health monitoring so your finance system of record stays aligned.
Can AWRA Accounting handle budgets and AR/AP aging?
Yes. There are two kinds of budget: spending budgets by department and category, checked when purchases are approved, and twelve-month budgets per revenue and expense ledger account — for the whole organization or one department, branch or project — with a budget-versus-actual report to any month. Accounts-receivable and accounts-payable aging reports cover money in and out.
Is there a cash-flow statement?
Yes. It is built by the direct method from the ledger for any date range, with opening and closing cash. Every account your organization creates is placed by its classification, with a per-account override, and transfers between your own cash accounts are left out so they do not inflate both sides.
Is AWRA Accounting suitable for Kenyan businesses?
Yes. It works in KES with multi-currency support and connects operational activity to finance, suited to SMEs, NGOs and institutions in Kenya and East Africa.
