Features
Built for the Full Accounting Lifecycle
From the first journal entry to the final audit, Caydem brings professional-grade accounting to the desktop — with the rigor, structure, and data ownership that real operations demand.
Accounting Core
A complete double-entry ledger
Caydem is built on a true double-entry foundation. Every transaction posts balanced debits and credits, so your books are always in balance and every figure traces back to its source.
- General Ledger
- Post manual and system-generated journal entries against a flexible chart of accounts. Drill from any balance down to the originating transaction.
- Accounts Receivable
- Issue sales invoices, track customer balances and aging, and apply customer payments with full allocation against open invoices.
- Accounts Payable
- Record vendor bills, manage payment runs, and process expense reports. See upcoming obligations and your true cash position.
- Financial Reporting
- Generate the balance sheet, income statement, and trial balance on demand, scoped to any period or fiscal year.
Period Management
Close with confidence
Caydem gives structure to the close. Define your fiscal calendar, work through a guided month-end, and lock periods once they are final — so the numbers you report stay the numbers of record.
- Fiscal Year & Periods
- Configure flexible fiscal calendars with monthly periods. Support standard calendar years or custom fiscal year starts.
- Month-End Close
- Work through a close checklist, review balances, and capture reviewer sign-offs before a period is finalized.
- Period Locking
- Lock closed periods to prevent back-dated edits. Reopen with the proper permissions and a clear audit trail when a correction is needed.
- Year-End Procedures
- Roll forward retained earnings and carry balances into the new fiscal year with a guided year-end workflow.
Audit & Compliance
Built for the external audit
When the CPAs arrive, Caydem is ready. Give auditors a dedicated, scoped portal with the requests, documents, and samples they need — without exposing your entire system.
- CPA Engagement Portal
- Create an engagement, invite the audit team, and grant scoped read access to the periods and entities under review.
- PBC Lists
- Manage a prepared-by-client request list. Track each item from open to fulfilled, with documents attached directly to the request.
- Statistical Sampling
- Configure and pull transaction samples for testing, with reproducible selection criteria the auditor can rely on.
- Period Sign-Offs
- Surface the close sign-offs and supporting evidence the auditor needs to verify that controls were followed.
Team & Access
The right people, the right access
Invite your team, assign roles, and manage many entities from one place. Identity is handled through Mission Control, so access is consistent and revocable across every company.
- Roles & Permissions
- Role-based access control governs who can post entries, close periods, and administer settings within each company.
- Team Invitations
- Invite team members by email and onboard them through Mission Control identity. Revoke access at any time.
- Multi-Company
- Manage multiple legal entities from a single application, each backed by its own isolated database. Switch companies in a click.
- Company Legal Profile
- Capture each entity’s legal name, tax identifiers, and registered details to keep filings and records accurate.
Data & Integrations
Your data, on your terms
Caydem keeps your books in a database you control, works whether or not you have a connection, and never traps your data. Export anything; attach evidence anywhere.
- CSV Export
- Export the contents of any data panel to CSV in bulk — transactions, balances, invoices, and more — for analysis or external reporting.
- Attachments
- Attach source documents — receipts, contracts, statements — directly to transactions so the supporting evidence is always one click away.
- Offline-First
- With a local database, Caydem runs fully offline. Work in the field, at a remote site, or anywhere a connection cannot reach.
- Industry Add-Ons
- An add-on architecture layers industry verticals on top of the accounting core without forking the product.
