2. A fresh approach to income and expense management

As a sole trader, managing income and expenses efficiently is paramount to your success. That’s why we’re excited to announce the latest updates to okke income and expense features. In this release, we’ve revamped how entries are displayed, prioritising clarity and simplicity. Instead of overwhelming users with intricate account details, we now focus on individual transactions, making it easier than ever to understand and manage your finances. Explore how okke enhancements can streamline your financial management journey as a sole trader.

  1. Enhanced Navigation: We understand the importance of seamless navigation when it comes to financial tracking. That’s why we’ve introduced a new back-and-forth button, providing a more intuitive way to move between months. This improvement streamlines your user experience, allowing for quicker access to specific timeframes without the hassle of multiple clicks.
  2. Intuitive Categorisation: Categorising transactions has never been easier. With the introduction of the ’Category’ field, you can seamlessly allocate entries to specific accounts within the general ledger. Whether it’s a straightforward categorisation or a split transaction, our system accommodates diverse financial scenarios, empowering you to maintain accurate records effortlessly.
  3. Visual Guidance: To enhance understanding, we’ve incorporated intuitive icons that provide valuable context for each entry. From distinguishing between different payment methods to indicating the source of a transaction, these visual cues offer immediate insights, enabling users to make informed decisions with confidence.
  4. Efficient Search and Filtering: In a world where time is of the essence, our enhanced search and filtering capabilities ensure that you can quickly locate relevant information. Whether it’s filtering by payment type or utilising the search function to pinpoint specific transactions, okke enables you to retrieve critical data with ease, saving valuable time and effort.
  5. Mobile Optimisation: We understand the importance of accessibility, especially in today’s mobile-centric landscape. That’s why we’ve refined how you can manage your income and expenses on the go with your device, presenting entry details in a convenient list view. With okke, stay connected to your business and keep your finances in check, no matter where you are.
