Questions
Attested Accounts seals financial records, is not an accounting system, and does not give accounting advice — this page answers the questions that follow from that, plainly, rather than around it.
Is it built yet?
Sealing is live: every write to an invoice, quote, recurring-invoice template, expense or time entry is Ed25519-signed at the moment it happens. A qualified (RFC 3161) timestamp receipt over a single record is built and available on request. A client-facing verification bundle, checkable offline without trusting our word for it, can be downloaded from inside the app. See how it works for the detail.
Is it an accounting system, or accounting advice?
No, to both. Attested Accounts is an evidence layer that sits alongside the Business Village's existing accounting features. It does not prepare, review, or advise on your accounts, and it is not a replacement for an accounting platform, a bookkeeper, or an accountant. Nothing it produces should be read as a statement that any figure or record is accurate, complete, or lawful.
What does sealing actually prove?
That a record has not been silently altered since it was signed. A signature is created the moment a record is written; entries written this month onward also carry a hash link to the entry before them, so a deletion or reordering in the sealed history is independently detectable, not just a bad signature. This is a claim about the record's integrity over time, not about whether what it says is correct — that remains ordinary accounting judgement, made by the people responsible for it.
What about records the law requires kept?
Financial records commonly carry a statutory retention requirement that most other records don't. An erasure request against a tenant with financial records now correctly reports which of them fall under that retention rather than erasing them, and separately scrubs the parts that are not themselves part of the statutory record. We do not cite a specific retention period or statute here — that citation has not been independently verified, and we would rather say nothing than assert something we have not confirmed. See how it works for the full picture.
Can I sign up for a free trial?
No. There is no public signup, no self-service registration, and no free tier for Attested Accounts. Access is arranged directly; see pricing for what that looks like.
Who built this?
