Trust & security
Books you can rely on
Your numbers are kept by people, backed by documents and reviewed every month — with a record of every change.
Books kept by people
A dedicated bookkeeper
Your books are posted and reconciled by a person who knows convenience retail — not left to auto-categorization.
Reviewed every month
Every close gets a second look before your reports go out.
Backed by documents
Every entry ties back to a back-office report, invoice or bank line you can see.
A ledger you can rely on
Every change logged
Who changed which entry, when and why — kept in an audit trail.
Corrections, not rewrites
Posted entries are corrected with new entries, not edited in place, so history stays intact.
Locked periods
Once a month is closed it stays closed. Changes need an explicit reopen.
Your data stays yours
Isolated per business
Every request is scoped to your organisation, and the database enforces it too.
Access by role
Owners, staff, bookkeepers and your CPA each see only what their role allows.
Never sold
Your numbers are used to keep your books and nothing else.
What we don’t do
Clear about our limits
Finato keeps your books and produces management reports. We don’t prepare or file tax returns, perform audits, run payroll, or hold or move your money. Your CPA stays your CPA.
Have questions about your data?
We’re happy to walk you or your CPA through how your data is handled, who can see what, and how changes are tracked.
