Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/general-ledger

A general ledger is the central accounting record that a business uses to compile all of its financial transactions, organized by account (assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses). Accountants and bookkeepers use it as the source for producing financial statements like the balance sheet and income statement, and it forms the backbone of double-entry bookkeeping. Proficiency with general ledger systems (whether manual or software-based, such as QuickBooks or SAP) is a core skill for accounting and finance professionals.
