Ledger

Finance for the AI era.

Plan it, bill it, collect it, and know why it changed — in one place. Ledger connects your targets, forecast, invoices, collections and cash, and an AI that shows its working.

Shown: Kestrel Analytics, a demo company, on 15 Oct 2026. Every number below comes from its books.

The loop

Most tools own one of these. Ledger owns the line.

An invoice is revenue the moment it is issued. A bank line is cash the moment it lands. So the forecast rolls forward on its own — no imports, no month-end rebuild.

Understand

“What changed this month?” is answered before you ask.

Every morning Ledger reads the whole loop and writes down what moved, why, and what to do about it. Each sentence links to the invoices, deals and bank lines behind it.

Good morning. Here is what changed.

Q3 revenue is tracking 8.0% below target, and the gap is almost entirely Route.

  • 3 Route deals slipped out of the quarter they were planned in, taking ₹8.5 L with them. Route conversion is down 11.1% quarter on quarter.

  • 3 invoices are trending late — ₹8.4 L of expected cash is at risk.

    KA/26-27/0203₹3.3 LKA/26-27/0205₹2.3 LKA/26-27/0204₹2.8 L
  • Sep 2026 operating expenses were ₹42.8 L against a ₹40 L budget. Contractors (+₹1.8 L) and Cloud (+₹90K) explain 96% of it.

  • Fleet is 12.0% ahead of target for the year to date.

Recommended: Review the proposed reforecast (−₹18.2 L) and follow up on the 3 high-risk invoices.

One invoice, followed all the way to the bank.

Meridian Ports & Terminals Ltd paid ₹25,000 less than the invoice. Most tools call that partly overdue. Ledger knows it is TDS, marks the invoice paid, and tracks the TDS until it shows up in your tax statement.

Financial control

AI recommends. Finance decides.

Every change with a financial consequence waits in one queue, with who proposed it, through what, and what it will do. The person who proposed a change can never approve it.

Proposed by Asha Iyer via Claude
