What is double-entry bookkeeping?

Double-entry bookkeeping records at least two sides of a transaction. One or more debit entries and one or more credit entries describe how value moves between accounts. The total debits must equal the total credits for the transaction to be balanced.

Lyniti validates that a transaction includes both entry types and that their totals match. This gives teams a structured accounting record rather than a single unclassified income or expense note.

Build balanced debit and credit entries

Each entry includes an account, an amount, and a debit or credit type. A transaction can contain multiple entries when one business event affects several accounts, as long as the final debit and credit totals remain balanced.

Clear validation helps catch incomplete entries before they move into review. It does not replace an accountant or determine the correct accounting treatment for a business.

Organize accounts, categories, and project context

Accounts and financial categories make transaction records easier to review and report. Project context can also be attached when a service business needs financial activity to remain traceable to operational work.

Project-aware records reduce duplicate explanations between delivery and finance teams, while still keeping accounting review separate from project execution.

Review entries with supporting files

Transactions can include attachments and move through pending review, approved, rejected, or needs-changes states. Reviewers can request missing files without separating the request from the transaction it supports.
