## What it is
Django Ledger is a double-entry accounting engine and financial analysis library built as a Django application. It provides a high-level Python API for ledgers, journal entries, financial statements, invoices, and ratio analysis in financially driven applications.

## Use cases
- add double-entry bookkeeping to a Django app
- generate balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports
- manage invoices, bills, and purchase orders programmatically
- import bank transactions from OFX/QFX files
- compute financial ratios and forecasts for entities
- build a multi-tenant accounting SaaS

## When to choose
- you already have a Django project and need accounting primitives
- you want an embeddable accounting engine rather than a standalone product
- you need Django Admin integration and a built-in entity management UI

## When to avoid
- you need a turnkey accounting application without writing Django code
- your stack is not Python/Django
- you need a simple expense tracker rather than a full double-entry ledger
