Multi-currency accounting made simple

Base currency, profit rates and cross conversions sound complex. They are not — once the platform does the math for you. Here is the simple model.

Multi-currency accounting made simple

Overview

Multi-currency accounting feels hard because the rules pull in different directions: a rate to buy, a different rate to sell, and conversions between currencies that never touch your base. Most errors in an exchange come from doing this arithmetic by hand under pressure. The good news is that the logic is small and consistent — and once it is encoded, you never have to think about it again.

One platform for the whole exchange

  • Multi-currency exchange — Unlimited currencies with a base currency and automatic, base-aware conversion.
  • Live profit rates — Per-currency buy/sell profit rates that calculate gains on every exchange.
  • Branch management — Run unlimited branches, each with its own moneybox, balances and reports.

How it works

Pick one base currency — the anchor everything is measured against. To go from base to another currency you multiply by the rate; to come back you divide. Between two non-base currencies, you divide by the first rate and multiply by the second. Sarrafi applies these rules automatically on every ticket, using the profit rates you set per currency, and records the gain on each exchange. Your cashiers simply enter the amounts; the platform handles the conversion and the profit, identically every time.

Why it matters

Because the math is consistent, your books are too. Reports show profit per currency, per branch and per period, so you can see exactly where you earn. New staff become productive on day one because the hard part is invisible to them. Multi-currency accounting stops being a source of stress and becomes a quiet advantage.
