Accounting and expenses sharing a single ledger, a single set of contacts and a single login. No exporting, no importing, no reconciling one tool against another at month end.
No card required to start.
What you get
Everything posts to the same double-entry accounts underneath, so a receipt photographed on a phone reaches the profit and loss without anybody re-keying it.
Proper double-entry accounting, from quote to reconciled bank line.
Photograph the receipt; the accounting follows on its own.
Ask for help where the problem is, without leaving the screen.
The next modules, built on the same records as your invoicing.
Accounts and Expense are available today. Desk and CRM are not — they are listed because they are being built, not because you can use them yet. This is built and used in a real business first, then extended, so each module earns its place before it ships.
Where it works
You choose the country when you create the organization. The chart of accounts, the tax codes and the return that comes out the other end are set up for that country. Rates carry the dates they applied from, so a rate change never restates a year you have already filed.
10% GST, with tax collected and tax paid held in separate accounts so the BAS nets one against the other. Tax-invoice wording and the ABN appear where the thresholds require them.
No GST, VAT or sales tax of any kind — so no tax fields to fill in and no return to file. Income and expenses are categorised for the two-tier profits tax return.
20% standard, 5% reduced, zero-rated and exempt kept properly apart. The nine-box VAT return is a query over the posted ledger, which is exactly the digital record MTD asks for. Reverse charge included.
9% GST and the F5 return. The 7% and 8% years are still reported at the rate that applied at the time, because rates are dated rather than replaced. Reverse charge on imported services.
21% and 9% BTW, intra-community supplies and acquisitions, and the ICP declaration. Customer VAT numbers are checked against VIES and the consultation number is kept as evidence.
Sales tax as a liability, not a credit to reclaim — because it is not one. Nexus tracked per state, exemption certificates with expiry dates, and 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC vendor reporting.
Why ULIGHT
An accounting package, an expense app and a spreadsheet in between is three subscriptions, three logins, and a monthly job stitching them together — done by you, by hand, in the evening.
An approved expense posts the cost, the tax and what you owe the person who paid — into the same accounts your invoices live in. Nothing to reconcile, because nothing was ever apart.
Every balance is derived from posted entries rather than stored and updated. If a report disagrees with the ledger it tells you, instead of quietly adjusting itself.
Give someone expenses without your accounts. Give your accountant reports without your bank feed. Access is granted per person, per module, per area.
Separate tools
