Take Control of Your Accounts with PHP General Ledger Accounting

PHP General Ledger Accounting is a straightforward PHP script that brings your bookkeeping online. It is built for owners and accountants who want a clear, self-hosted way to record transactions, organise accounts and see exactly where a business stands — without wrestling with spreadsheets or a heavyweight accounting suite.

Double-Entry Bookkeeping, Done Properly

At its core, the script follows double-entry principles, so every voucher posts balanced debit and credit entries across the accounts it touches. That discipline keeps ledgers consistent, makes errors easier to spot and gives you figures you can trust when it is time to review performance or close a period.

Key Features

• Manage multiple companies in one installation, with finances kept separate for each business.
• Set up accounts, account groups and account types covering assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses.
• Post general journal vouchers with multiple accounts in a single voucher.
• Control who can do what: administrators manage companies, accounts and vouchers, while regular users work only within the companies they are given access to.
• Generate ledger summaries, voucher summaries, account-specific general ledgers and trial balance statements.
• Run on a standard PHP and MySQL stack, including PHP 7.x and 8.x with MySQL 5.x and 8.x.

Who It Is For

The script suits small businesses tracking day-to-day income and spending, freelancers and consultants managing client work and expenses, non-profits recording donations and programme costs, and schools or colleges handling fees and other payments. If you need an online ledger that your team can access with proper permissions, this is a practical fit.

Simple to Set Up

Installation follows the familiar PHP pattern: create a MySQL database, upload the files to your web server and update the configuration. Once running, you can create your first company, add its accounts and start entering vouchers straight away.
