What came in, what went out, what you kept.
Money is the plain answer to how the business is doing. It reads what already happened — sales, refunds, costs, payouts — and states the result without asking you to be an accountant to read it.
Most software calls this financial reporting. In Piggles it is called Money, because that is what you are actually doing.

What Money does
Kept, not just taken
Revenue after refunds, discounts, fees and what the goods cost you — so the number on the screen is the one that matters.
What is actually profitable
Margin by product, by category and by channel. Sometimes the best seller is the worst earner, and this is where that shows up.
Where it went
Costs recorded against the thing that caused them, including freight and supplier charges, rather than a lump at the end of the month.
Money owed, both ways
What customers owe you and how old it is; what you owe suppliers and when it falls due.
Tax handled quietly
Rates by region, exemptions for the customers who have them, and a total you can file from.
Hand it to your accountant
Export in the formats real accounting software reads, or connect it directly, instead of retyping a year.
Works with the rest of it
Nothing here is a separate product that has been made to talk to the others. They are the same business, looked at from different angles.
Money also includes Invoices.
