Journal Entry
Accounting & Bookkeeping Glossary
Definition
A journal entry is a manual recording of a financial transaction in your accounting system. While most transactions flow in automatically through bank feeds and invoicing, some need to be entered manually — like depreciation, accruals, reclassifications, and year-end adjustments. Every journal entry has a debit and a credit that must balance.
