01
Work
Enter time against the job, priced from your service catalogue's rates.
One operating story / 01
Different work. One clear operating story.
The work itself varies enormously. What you sell, how you price it, whether it happens at a customer's site or at your own desk, whether you do it alone or hand it between people — none of that changes what has to be true underneath.
Something was agreed. Work happened. It was worth money. Somebody has to bill it, collect it, and be able to explain it later. Corva One keeps those five facts on one record instead of five systems.
The whole idea
The work and the books are the same record, not two systems that have to be reconciled.
One continuous flow / 02
Work → Approve → Invoice → Paid.
Four beats on one record. The connection between them is not a handoff you configure — it is the balanced posting each financial action writes as it happens.
02
Approve
Approval recognises the revenue for time-and-materials work, with a balanced posting in the same step.
03
Invoice
Issue it from its own screen — the receivable is raised and the tax line written as it posts.
04
Paid
Record the payment against the invoice, apply it, or reverse it if something was wrong.
The problem / 03
The work is the easy part.
Whatever you sell and however you price it, the same failures turn up the moment the work lives in one system and the money lives in another. None of them are dramatic—which is why they survive for years. They cost hours every week, and some of them cost revenue you never notice missing.
Corva One closes the gap they all come from: the work and the books are one connected record, not two. If you want it in the language of your own trade or practice, these go deeper — repair & trade, independent professionals, professional practices.
Two ways to work / 04
One record. Two ways to run it.
Nothing changes underneath—the same jobs, the same invoices, the same books. What changes is how much coordination the product asks of you.
The books / 05
Not records for your accountant. Actual books.
One action, one posting. The invoice you issue writes the entry itself—so the books are a by-product of the work rather than something assembled from it weeks later.
Real double-entry books
A general ledger, a chart of accounts and fiscal periods you can close.
Written as you work
Every approved financial action posts a balanced entry in the same step — never assembled afterwards.
Ready for your accountant
GAAP-structured statements, reconciliation and an audit package for whoever reviews the books.
For a single business in a single currency. No inventory ledger—that is Corva ERP.
Built around trust / 06
Clear by design.
Software that runs the money needs honest boundaries and dependable records, whatever size you are.
01 · Ownership
Know who is responsible.
An owner and a status stay with the work, so the next action is visible.
02 · Evidence
Keep the why nearby.
Notes, costs and approvals stay attached to the job they explain.
03 · Boundaries
Say what the product is.
Corva One runs client work and the books it produces—and this site says plainly where that stops.
Straight answers / 07
A connected product—without inflated claims.
Corva One is for anyone who does client work and has to bill for it—a site visit, a shoot, an audit, a repair. It is coming soon, and everything below describes what the product does today, and says plainly where it stops.
Who is Corva One for?
Anyone who does client work and has to bill for it. The work can be a site visit, a shoot, an audit or a repair—what matters is that something was agreed, work happened, and somebody has to invoice it and explain it later. If you want it in the language of your own trade or practice, the repair & trade, independent professional and professional practice pages go deeper.
Is Corva One available now?
Not yet. Corva One is coming soon, and final availability and product details will be published here before access opens.
What does Corva One connect?
Work → Approve → Invoice → Paid. Time is entered against a job, approval recognises the revenue with a balanced posting, the invoice raises the receivable and writes the tax line, and the payment is recorded against it. Each of those is a screen you open—the connection between them is the posting, not a sync you configure.
What accounting capabilities are included?
A general ledger with a chart of accounts and fiscal periods, manual journal entries with an approval trail, period close, financial statements presented on the ASC 210/220/230 structure, account reconciliation, and an audit package for whoever reviews your books. Corva One calculates and posts sales tax; it does not file returns.
Do I need to understand accounting to use it?
No. You run clients, jobs, time and invoices. The double-entry happens behind the work you approve—your accountant sees proper books, you see the operation.
What will it cost?
Pricing has not been published. It will be here before access opens, along with what each package includes.
