# Accounting Module

This page contains Accounting-related workflows in Paradigm

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

The Accounting Module in Paradigm is an extension to the financial processes your business or institution can do to a student enrolment record. This feature will provide a comprehensive and safe avenue for all the students' record financial information, including but not limited to creating an invoice, accepting payments, paying off invoices, and the flexibility to make some adjustments to invoices, issue credit notes, record customer returns/refunds, and cancel invoices.

Other notable features that you can do within the Accounting module are: (1) adding and editing non-tuition products (e.g. textbook, ID Card, Enrolment Fee, etc.), (2) adding internal discounts and scholarships, (3) the ability to search and reconcile all payments, (4) and most importantly – the option to do enrolment invoices in bulk and bulk apply payments to invoices for data entry efficiency.
