Accounting staff cannot record an uncertain future expense without it showing on the P&L, and existing workaround (manual journal entries) creates cash and GL errors.

Workarounds Described

• uses sticky notes to record expense that should not show on P&L
• former CPA debited cash to credit accrual GL, creating double-hit cash error
• skipping payments because landlord communication is poor

Implied Software Gaps

• Contingent liability tracking that does not affect P&L until confirmed
• Auto-reversing journal entries for uncertain expenses
• Integrated memo/flagging system for disputed or unconfirmed bills

AccrueLite

AccrueLite is a lightweight journal entry app that lets bookkeepers record contingent liabilities as 'memo accruals' — they sit off the P&L and balance sheet in a separate ledger, with alerts when the contingency resolves. No more sticky notes or double-hit cash errors.
