Finding financial truth across your tech stack.
Financial infrastructure for high volume digital companies
Built for companies running tens of thousands to millions of transactions per day, Actuals ensures financial truth is established before numbers reach your ERP.
Accounting systems assume truth. They don’t create it.
Modern online businesses generate millions of financial events across payments, platforms, and marketplaces.
These events define financial reality, but they are fragmented, high-volume, and complex.
ERPs record numbers. They do not validate whether those numbers are correct.
When incorrect data enters the General Ledger, everything downstream is compromised.
What it looks like when truth breaks
-
Balances change after you “closed” them
-
Refunds, fees, chargebacks, and settlements don’t line up across systems
-
Finance can’t answer “what’s the balance” without spreadsheets
-
Your ERP becomes the dumping ground for operational complexity
-
Close turns into investigation, not reporting
These are not edge cases.
They are signals that your business has outgrown traditional accounting assumptions.
From correction to control
Most finance teams discover problems late and correct them under pressure.
High-volume finance requires a different approach:
financial truth must be established where accounting can operate at scale, not reconstructed in the ERP
This shift allows accounting systems to do what they do best: record trusted numbers.
Actuals, where financial truth is created
Actuals sits between operational systems and accounting.
Between payments and the General Ledger.
We take responsibility for financial truth, from raw events to ERP-ready journals.
Actuals performs full sub-ledger accounting on high-volume financial events:
Actuals:
- normalizes transaction data across PSPs, banks, and platforms
- reconciles fragmented sources into one consistent reality
- computes buyer and seller balances at event level
- applies period logic, revenue recognition, and tax logic upstream
- explains and resolves mismatches through structured workflows
- feeds ERPs only reconciled, final, and auditable journals
We do not replace your ERP.
We protect it, so it can operate reliably and at scale.
When accounting moves from ERP reconstruction to sub-ledger control
Financial truth shifts from late correction during close to upstream control before numbers reach the ERP.
Before
After
- Orders, payments, refunds, fees, and settlements live across disconnected systems
- Financial events are normalized and reconciled upstream
- Finance teams reconcile data late in the process, often during close
- Buyer and seller balances are computed from transaction reality
- Balances are reconstructed in Excel to explain what the ERP cannot
- Period, revenue, and tax logic are applied before posting
- The ERP is critical, but increasingly overloaded
- The ERP receives clean, final journals and thrives at scale

Just like people immediately trust a laptop with an ‘Intel inside’ sticker, companies using Actuals gain an instant stamp of trust as well. Because Actuals proves that what a company says it’s doing to create value is actually true.
