# Balanced Sum

A self-hosted, local-only, double-entry accounting system — reconcile-first home screen, dashboard, reports with drill-through, verb-first manual entries, customers and invoices, vendors and bills with check printing, bank reconciliation from statement files, items with purchase orders, receiving and builds, year-end close, and full history migration from QuickBooks, Sage, Xero and anything else that can export a general ledger — without needing to know what a debit is.

Start here: [GETTING-STARTED.md](GETTING-STARTED.md). Restoring from a backup: [RESTORE.md](RESTORE.md). Updating to a new version: [UPDATING.md](UPDATING.md).

Once set up, run `npm run app` and open the browser tab it gives you.
