Accounting software you can register with the BIR, with an accountant behind it.

Sentire Ledger is a computerized accounting system (CAS) built for Philippine businesses: locked books, continuous invoice serials, a tamper-evident audit trail, VAT and withholding computed by dated rules your CPA confirms, and the registration pack your RDO asks for.

How it works

Four steps from sign-up to a registered system. We do the parts that need an accountant; you keep your books.

Set up

We create your site, load your Certificate of Registration details, your chart of accounts and your invoice series. You invite your team.

Issue and record

Sales invoices, collection receipts, bills, payments and journal entries, each with the BIR header and a serial that cannot be reused or skipped.

File

The quarterly VAT, percentage tax and withholding figures come straight from your books, item by item of the form, with the .dat files for the Alphalist.

Register

The registration pack (system description, Annex B answers, sworn statement, specimen prints, books and audit trail) is produced from the live system and filed with your RDO.

What makes it a CAS and not just bookkeeping software

Books that cannot be rewritten

Posted documents cannot be deleted or reposted, accounting fields are frozen after submit, posting dates are today's unless a manager records a reason, and closed periods are closed for everyone.

Serials that never skip

Invoice and receipt numbers are taken from your registered range at the moment of issue, one at a time, under a database lock. Drafts never print; reprints are counted and marked.

An audit trail you can hand over

Every change is logged in a hash-chained event log checked daily. The BIR Audit Trail report and the chain check are part of the registration pack.

Tax rules as data, signed off by a CPA

VAT, zero-rating, exemptions, expanded withholding by payee type, percentage tax and income tax brackets are dated rules. A production site refuses any rule your CPA has not confirmed.

The seven books, with tie-outs

Sales and purchase journals, cash receipts and disbursements, general journal, general ledger and inventory book, each with totals that reconcile to the ledger, exportable with the BIR header.

Withholding done properly

2307s received from customers reduce what you collect; 2307s issued to suppliers are printed on the official face; SAWT, QAP, MAP and RELIEF files are produced from the same records.

Questions people ask

Is Sentire Ledger accredited by the BIR?

Under the current rules there is no accreditation of software. The taxpayer registers the system it uses with its Revenue District Office, with a system description, the Annex B checklist and a sworn statement. Sentire Ledger produces that pack from the live system, and on the subscription plans MCRC prepares and files it with you.

Is my data in the Philippines?

Shared plans run in Singapore (about 40 ms from Manila) on servers operated by MCRC. Enterprise clients get two dedicated servers in the region of their choice. Backups are encrypted with a key held by you and by us, and the books are exportable in full at any time.

Can I try it with my own numbers?

The open demo is a shared environment that resets nightly. For a test with your own data we run a 14-day paid pilot on your own site; the fee is credited to your setup fee if you subscribe, and the site is deleted at day 30 if you do not.

What happens if I leave?

You give notice, we deliver a complete export (database, the seven books for every year, registration pack, audit trail, registers), you confirm, we delete and send you a signed certificate of deletion. The books stay yours for the ten years the BIR requires.

Does it file my returns?

No. It computes the figures of each return from your books, item by item, and produces the .dat attachments. Filing stays in eBIRForms or eFPS, by you or by MCRC on the bundled plans. Tax filing is deliberately not integrated.

What is it built on?

An established open-source ERP platform (named in our Terms) with a Philippine compliance layer written by MCRC. You get a mature ledger, inventory, projects and a web and mobile interface, plus the controls the BIR expects.
