1. How does Holvi’s bookkeeping preparation work?

Your Holvi account is built on income and expense categories that you create. Each transaction in your Holvi account is placed into some income or expense category that you assign it to.

You can create budgets for each category, this way you can easily keep track of your money movements. Holvi also provides reports to help support your bookkeeping, such as Income statement, General ledger and VAT report.

Remember that Holvi does not provide automated bookkeeping but you can freely use the reports from your Holvi-account to make bookkeeping an easier task!
