Manual Journals and Adjustments Services
Eliminate costly ledger errors, accelerate your month-end close, and maintain impeccable financial records handled by Viaante's specialist accounting team.
Understanding Manual Journals and Accounting Adjustments
Manual journal entries are the cornerstone of accurate financial reporting. When automated systems fall short, precise manual adjustments ensure your general ledger reflects the true financial position of your business.
What Are Manual Journal Entries?
Manual journals are accounting entries made directly to the general ledger to record transactions not captured by automated processes including accruals, depreciation charges, intercompany allocations, and error corrections. Each entry follows double-entry bookkeeping principles to maintain ledger balance.
Why Accounting Adjustments Matter
Accounting adjustments ensure revenues and expenses are recognised in the correct reporting period, in line with UK GAAP and IFRS. Without them, financial statements can misrepresent business performance, exposing your organisation to audit risk, compliance failures, and poor decision-making.
Role in Month-End and Year-End Close
Accurate manual journals are essential to closing your books on time. They support trial balance preparation, financial statement accuracy, and auditor sign-off. A disciplined journal process reduces rework and ensures your management accounts are ready when your stakeholders need them.
Compliance with UK Accounting Standards
Viaante's accounting team applies UK GAAP, FRS 102, and IFRS principles to every journal entry. Our structured review process and audit trail documentation ensure you remain fully compliant with Companies House and HMRC reporting requirements.

TESTIMONIALS
What Clients Are Saying About Us
Global leader in E-procurement Operations
I was reviewing some invoices and I noticed that the team was doing an excellent job of identifying multi-invoices. Of the 100 I looked at 34 needed to be rejected and all 34 were correctly rejected. Thank you for being on top of it! We didn’t realize the processors were going to be sending in multi-invoices so we were nervous about them getting missed. Just wanted to pass on the good news and thanks!

Many thanks! May I take this opportunity to thank the entire Team for their efforts and dedication at this most difficult time.
I have every respect for their commitment in normal times, and I have some experience of what it is like to be locked away at home and working and all the challenges that bring with both family life and also the isolation of being away from one’s colleagues. Great work Team Viaante!
