General Ledger and Journal Accounting Package for Laravel with JSON API

Tests: php 8.0 php 8.1

Ledger lets you track anything related to money in your application with a single package while making your CFO happy at the same time. No matter if your app is handling memberships for a small club or supporting a multinational enterprise, Ledger can handle it.

Ledger is a full-featured implementation of the core of any good accounting system, a double-entry journal and general ledger. It is not a complete accounting solution, but rather the minimum for keeping track of financial transactions. Ledger features a JSON API that provides access to all functions.

That's the only minimal part. Ledger features:

  • Full double-entry accounting system with audit trail capability.
  • Multi-currency support.
  • Support for multiple business units.
  • Sub-journal support.
  • Multilingual.
  • Integrates via direct controller access or through JSON API.
  • Atomic transactions with concurrent update blocking.
  • Reference system supports soft linking to other ERP components.
  • Designed for Laravel from the ground up.
