A full accounting suite inside your tax platform
VitalReturns is not a tax tool bolted onto a spreadsheet — it's a complete accounting system that produces statutory-ready books your tax returns are generated from directly.
Every module your bookkeeper and auditor expect
- General ledger
Chart of accounts, journal entries, trial balance, posting rules and period close with full audit trail.
- Sales + AR
Invoices, credit notes, receipts and ageing — mapped straight to the ledger and surfaced in your VAT return.
- Purchases + AP
Bills, supplier payments, payment runs and ageing, with WHT applied at line-item level.
- Payroll
PAYE, NSSF, LST computations per employee, with full gross-to-net and the monthly PAYE return pre-populated.
- Fixed assets
Register, depreciation schedules, disposal, revaluation and transfer with the capital allowance schedule for the tax return.
- Bank + reconciliation
Statement import, auto-match and manual reconciliation, feeding directly into cash-flow reporting.
Reports your reviewers and tax officers trust
Every statement is generated from live transactions, not re-keyed into a template.
- Financial statements
Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow — comparative periods, drill-down to transaction, PDF export.
- Management reports
Budget variance, AR / AP ageing, cash position, profitability by segment. Scheduled or on-demand.
- Period close + reopen
Lock a period against mutation after sign-off; reopen with a reason recorded in the immutable audit trail.
Books that feed your tax returns automatically
Stop re-keying numbers between your accounting system and your tax tool. VitalReturns is both.
