Automate journal entry reversals to keep financials clean and up to date.
When you set a reversal date on a journal entry, Kick automatically generates a mirror-image entry on that date — debits become credits and credits become debits. This automates month-end or year-end cleanup without manual work.
Accrued revenue at period-end that reverses when the actual invoice is issued
Estimated expenses that reverse when actuals arrive
Year-end adjustments that need to reverse at the start of the new period
Go to Accounting and open any report (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, General Ledger, etc.)
Click Create journal entry
Set the date and entity
Enter your debit and credit lines
In the Details panel on the right:
Set the Reversal Date
Add a Memo to describe the entry
Optionally attach supporting documents
Click Save — Kick saves the original entry and queues the reversal automatically
Both the original entry and its reversal appear in the General Ledger:
Go to Accounting → General Ledger
Filter for Entry source = Manual Journal Entry
Reversal entries are labeled in the Description field with "Reversal of" followed by the original entry description.
The reversal entry is read-only — all edits are made on the original entry. When you update the original, Kick automatically regenerates the reversal to stay in sync.
From the original entry, you can update:
Reversal date
Amounts
Accounts
Description
Memo
To remove a scheduled reversal: clear the reversal date on the original entry, or delete the reversal entry directly
Deleting the original entry automatically deletes the reversal
All changes are tracked in the Activity tab.
