What problem does it solve?

hledger helps you organize and validate plain-text double-entry accounting data, then turn it into trustworthy financial statements and CSV-ready imports.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Journal correctness and validation: ensures postings balance, accounts/commodities are declared (strict mode), and date/order assumptions hold.
  • CSV import with rule-based categorization: maps CSV columns into journal postings, with conditional rules for payees and descriptions.
  • Reporting and analysis: produces balance sheets, income statements, cashflow, registers, and multi-period summaries for reconciliation and decision-making.

Quick Start

Use the hledger skill to import bank.csv with custom CSV rules and generate a balanced, categorised journal preview before committing it.
