How it works

A balance model your auditors will recognise.

01Ledger

The source of truth for every reserve — where money actually is.

02Approved

Draws routed through a configurable approval engine before anything moves.

03Committed

Money earmarked and spoken for — visible before it's spent.

04Available

What's genuinely free to use, at a glance, on every balance.

05Configurable taxonomy

Reserve categories, targets, owners and restrictions — yours, not hard-coded.

06Journaled

A single audited journal behind every one of the 12 transaction types.

Why it matters

Reserves are a matter of public trust.

Unspent, unauthorised or unexplained draws will surface in the audit trail. The reserves manager keeps every pound purposeful, approved and auditable — so the position you report is the position you can prove.

  • Stop over-allocation before it happensWarn as soon as a draw would push past safe limits; override only through the proper route.
  • Keep your CFO and members in stepEveryone sees the same available position, in real time.
  • Segregation of duties by defaultNo self-approval. No silent moves. Every action on the journal.
