Jeramyl Knowledge Base

Learn how to manage invoices, bills, receipts, reports, month-end cleanup, reconciliation, and AI-assisted bookkeeping in Jeramyl.

Getting Started

Jeramyl organises your business finances in a Workspace — a container for a single business entity. One account can hold multiple workspaces, so you can manage several businesses without switching logins.

  1. Go to app.jeramyl.com/auth and create a free account.
  2. After signing in you land on your Dashboard. If you have no workspace yet, follow the prompt to create one.
  3. Set your business name and preferred currency in Settings → Workspace.
  4. Invite team members under Settings → Team if you need others to access the workspace.
  5. Start adding income, expenses, invoices, or bills — or upload a receipt to record your first transaction.
Tip

Switch between workspaces using the workspace selector in the sidebar. Each workspace has its own separate records, settings, and plan.

Dashboard

The Dashboard is your first screen after signing in. It gives a real-time overview of your business's financial position and flags records that need attention.

What you will see

  • Cash position: Your estimated cash on hand, derived from recorded income and expenses.
  • Alerts: A count of items that need your attention, shown as N to fix when there are open issues or All clear when everything is resolved.
  • No activity: Displayed when no transactions have been recorded for the current period.
  • Recent activity: A summary of the latest transactions, invoices, and bills.

Alert types

Alerts point to records that may need action — such as uncategorized transactions, invoices missing a customer, or bills approaching their due date. Resolving alerts keeps your records clean and your Month-end Cleanup fast.

Tip

Check the Dashboard each morning for a fast health check on your business. Working through alerts daily prevents a large backlog at month-end.

Invoices

Use Invoices to bill customers for products or services. Navigate to Invoices in the sidebar to see a full list of all invoices, sorted by status and due date.

Invoice statuses

Paid Waiting Overdue
  • Paid — a payment has been recorded against this invoice.
  • Waiting — the invoice has been issued but the due date has not yet passed.
  • Overdue — the due date has passed with no payment recorded.

Create an invoice

  1. Go to Invoices and click Add.
  2. Select or type a customer name.
  3. Add one or more line items — description, quantity, and unit price.
  4. Set the invoice date and payment due date.
  5. Save. The invoice is now visible in your invoice list.

Record a payment

When a customer pays, open the invoice and click Link payment. Enter the payment date and amount. The invoice status changes to Paid and the payment is recorded as an income transaction.

Limitation

Payments are currently recorded as fully paid. Partial-payment tracking is not yet supported. To track a partial payment, record a separate income transaction manually and note the remaining balance in the invoice description.

Invoice follow-up tracking Pro

On any invoice, you can set a follow-up date using Update follow-up. This adds a reminder visible in the invoice list so overdue invoices do not slip through. Once you have contacted the customer, click Mark followed up to clear it.

Download and send

Each invoice can be downloaded as a PDF. If Connected Gmail is set up, you can send the invoice directly from your Gmail address within Jeramyl — per message, user-initiated.

Estimates Pro

Estimates let you quote a customer before work begins. Once the customer approves, an estimate converts directly into an invoice with all line items pre-filled — no re-entry needed.

Create an estimate

  1. Go to Estimates (accessible from Invoices or the main sidebar) and click Add.
  2. Select a customer, add line items, and set an expiry date if needed.
  3. Save the estimate and share the PDF with your customer.

Convert an estimate to an invoice

  1. Open the estimate you want to convert.
  2. Click Convert to invoice.
  3. Jeramyl creates a new invoice with all line items pre-filled from the estimate.
  4. Review and adjust the invoice date and due date if needed, then save.
Note

Estimates are a Pro plan feature. The original estimate is kept and marked as converted after you create the invoice from it.

Bills

Use Bills to track money you owe vendors and suppliers. Bills give you a clear view of upcoming and overdue payments so nothing is missed.

Bill statuses

Unpaid Paid

Record a bill

  1. Go to Bills in the sidebar and click Add.
  2. Enter a vendor name (free-text), bill date, and due date.
  3. Enter the total amount and add a description or reference number if needed.
  4. Save. The bill appears with status Unpaid.

Record a payment

When you pay a bill, open it and click Link payment. Select or create the corresponding expense transaction. The bill status changes to Paid.

Limitations

Vendors are currently free-text — there are no full vendor profiles or vendor contact records yet. Payments are recorded as fully paid; partial-payment tracking is not yet supported.

Transactions and Receipts

Every income and expense in Jeramyl is a Transaction. Navigate to Transactions in the sidebar to see your full transaction history, filter by period, and resolve flagged items.

Add a transaction manually

  1. Click Add in the Transactions section.
  2. Choose the type: income or expense.
  3. Enter the date, amount, vendor or source, and a category.
  4. Save the transaction.

Upload a receipt

  1. Click Add and choose to attach a receipt, or use the receipt/camera shortcut.
  2. Upload a photo or file (JPEG, PNG, or PDF).
  3. Jeramyl OCR reads the receipt and pre-fills the vendor, date, and amount.
  4. Review the extracted details, make any corrections, and assign a category.
  5. Save. The transaction is created with the receipt attached.
Note

OCR extraction is automatic but not always perfect — always review the extracted amount and vendor name before saving.

Transaction flags and Review Queue

Jeramyl surfaces transactions that may need attention in the Review Queue and as Dashboard alerts.

Uncategorized Needs customer Missing receipt Needs category Recurring activity Linked
  • Uncategorized / Needs category — the transaction has no expense or income category assigned.
  • Needs customer — an income transaction has no customer linked to it.
  • Missing receipt — an expense transaction has no receipt attached.
  • Recurring activity — the transaction matches a pattern of recurring entries.
  • Linked — the transaction is connected to a bill payment or invoice payment.

Working through the Review Queue regularly keeps your records complete and your Month-end Cleanup fast.

Filtering transactions

Use the All vendors and All customers filters to view transactions grouped by vendor or customer. The Spending Limits section shows you if any category is approaching a limit you have set.

Customers and Statements

The Customers section gives you a view of each customer's invoices, payment history, and outstanding balance — all in one place.

View customer history

  1. Go to Customers in the sidebar.
  2. Use the All customers tab to see every customer.
  3. Click a customer name to open their detail view — showing all invoices, payments received, and current balance.

Customer statement PDF Pro

A customer statement summarises all invoices and payments for a customer over a selected period. It is useful when a customer disputes a balance or needs a record of their account.

  1. Open a customer record.
  2. Click the statement option (Generate statement or PDF).
  3. Choose a date range.
  4. Download the PDF or send it via Connected Gmail.

Follow-up dates Pro

Set a follow-up date on a customer or invoice using Update follow-up. This keeps the reminder visible until you resolve it. Once you have made contact, click Mark followed up to clear the flag.

Reports and Tax Summary

Navigate to Reports in the sidebar to view summaries of your financial performance across any period you choose.

Available reports

  • Profit & Loss (P&L): Total income minus total expenses over a selected period. Shows your net profit or net loss.
  • Expense breakdown: Expenses grouped by category, so you can see where spending is going.
  • Tax Summary: An estimate of taxable income and deductible expenses to help you prepare for tax season.
Important

The Tax Summary is an estimate based on the categories and amounts you have recorded in Jeramyl. It is not tax advice. Confirm your tax position with a qualified accountant before filing.

Export

Most reports can be exported as CSV. Click the export or download button in the report header. Use CSV exports to share data with your accountant or import it into a spreadsheet.

Month-end Cleanup

Month-end Cleanup is a guided workflow for reviewing and closing out the previous month's records. It helps you resolve uncategorized transactions, missing receipts, and other open flags before they accumulate.

Navigate to Month-end Cleanup from the main sidebar or Reports section.

How to run a Month-end Cleanup

  1. Open Month-end Cleanup and select the month to review.
  2. Review flagged items in the Review Queue.
  3. For each item: assign the correct category, attach a missing receipt, or link it to an invoice or bill payment.
  4. Click Mark reviewed on each item once it is resolved.
  5. When the queue is empty the month is complete.
Review Queue Mark reviewed Carry forward

Carry forward

If you close a Month-end Cleanup with unresolved items, those items carry forward to the following month. Resolve carry-forward items early in your next cleanup to keep months clean.

Tip

Month-end Cleanup is much faster when you resolve Dashboard alerts daily. A few minutes a day prevents a large backlog at month-end.

Bank Reconciliation Business

Bank Reconciliation is the process of matching your Jeramyl transaction records to your actual bank statement. It confirms that your books accurately reflect the money that has moved in and out of your account.

Navigate to Reconcile in the sidebar. Bank Reconciliation is available on the Business plan.

How to reconcile

  1. Open Reconcile and select the account and period to reconcile.
  2. Enter the closing balance from your bank statement.
  3. Click Auto-fix safe items to let Jeramyl automatically match transactions that are clearly safe to reconcile without your input.
  4. Review remaining suggested matches — confirm correct matches or adjust where needed.
  5. Use View transaction to open a source record if you need to check details.
  6. When the difference reaches zero, the reconciliation is complete for that period.
Reconcile Auto-fix safe items View transaction
Important

Reconciliation matching is suggested by Jeramyl and must be confirmed by you. Jeramyl does not automatically change your financials — every reconciliation action is user-initiated.

AI Assistant

The AI Assistant answers plain-language questions about your business finances. Find it in the Insights section or the AI panel in the sidebar.

What you can ask

  • What was my biggest expense category last month?
  • How much did I earn from a specific customer this quarter?
  • What is my current cash runway?
  • Which invoices are overdue right now?
  • What are my top five expenses this year?

How it works

The AI reads your Jeramyl records and responds in plain language. It is read-only — it provides answers and summaries but never changes your data. If the AI gives you a number, it is drawn from the transactions and records you have entered in Jeramyl.

Limitations

AI-generated answers are based on your recorded data and should be reviewed before making financial decisions. The AI Assistant is plan-gated and usage-limited — the number of questions you can ask per billing period depends on your plan. The AI does not have access to external data sources or your bank.

Google Drive and Connected Gmail

Jeramyl offers two optional Google integrations. Each is enabled separately and can be disconnected at any time from Settings.

Google Drive

Connect your Google Drive to save receipt images and invoice PDFs to a dedicated folder in your Drive. This creates a cloud backup of your financial documents alongside your Jeramyl records.

  1. Go to Settings → Data (or the integrations section within Settings).
  2. Click Connect Google Drive.
  3. Authorize Jeramyl — Jeramyl requests only the permissions needed to save files to a designated folder.
  4. Once connected, new receipts and PDFs sync to your Drive automatically when they are saved in Jeramyl.

Connected Gmail

Connect your Gmail account to send invoices and statements directly from your Gmail address within Jeramyl. Sending is per message and user-initiated — Jeramyl does not send emails automatically without your action.

  1. Go to Settings and find the Connected Gmail option.
  2. Click Connect Gmail and authorize Jeramyl to send email on your behalf.
  3. Once connected, you can choose to send an invoice or customer statement via Gmail from within the invoice or customer detail view.
Privacy

Jeramyl requests only the minimum Google permissions needed for each integration. Drive access is scoped to a specific folder. Gmail access is limited to sending on your behalf — Jeramyl does not read your inbox. Disconnect either integration from Settings at any time.
