Terms

Berean is operated by Hineni Group Digital LLC. Questions can be sent to mike@hinenigroup.us.

Berean compares two exported general ledgers — one from your property software, one from your accounting system — and shows the differences it finds. The free audit reports how many and how much; a paid workspace also shows the ledger rows behind each finding.

It is read-only. It never connects to either system, never signs in on your behalf, and never writes anything back to either one. You run the exports yourself.

It is not accounting, tax, legal, investment, payroll, or other professional advice. It does not replace your records, your accountant, or your source systems.

Upload only data your company is authorised to process. Berean does not assume an export is free of sensitive information, and you are asked to confirm that you are authorised before a run starts.

A free audit runs entirely in memory and keeps no ledger row. A signed-in import stores the rows of both files so the comparison can be re-read later. The Privacy Notice sets out exactly what is stored in each case.

Berean is sold one way: a single monthly subscription for a workspace. There are no tiers, no seats to buy, and no charge that varies with how much you compare. The audit at /audit is free, needs no account, and nothing in this section applies to it. If your account has no subscription, nothing in this section is charging you.

A subscription starts with a free trial, and a payment method is required to start it. Nothing is charged while the trial runs. How long the trial runs, and what will be charged when it ends, are both stated on the checkout page before you enter any payment details, and again in the confirmation Stripe sends you.

This page does not restate the amount, and that is deliberate. An amount written in two places drifts apart, and this is the copy that would go stale first. It is also not always the same amount: if you were given a promotion code, what you pay is what checkout showed after it was applied. The checkout page and the receipt Stripe sends are the statement of what you pay.

When the trial ends the subscription begins, and it renews by itself each month against the payment method on file until you cancel it.

You can cancel at any time, from the billing page inside your workspace, which opens a page Stripe hosts. Cancelling stops the next renewal. It does not shorten the month you have already paid for — the subscription runs to the end of that period, and the workspace works normally until then.

On refunds, Berean’s position is that the trial is the refund. The trial exists so that the decision gets made before any money moves. After it, there is no partial refund for an unused part of a month, and none backdated to an earlier one. If something went wrong on Berean’s side, write to mike@hinenigroup.us and say what happened; that is a conversation, not a term.

If a renewal payment fails, Stripe retries it on its own schedule and tells you it is doing so. The workspace keeps working while those retries are running. If they finish without a successful payment, the subscription has lapsed.

A lapsed subscription is not a lockout. You can still sign in. Everything you have already run stays where it was: past findings and reports stay readable, and you can still print a report. What stops is changing them — imports, new comparison runs, and dismissing or restoring a finding are refused, and Berean says on the screen that the subscription is the reason, rather than failing quietly or handing you an empty result.

If Berean cannot read the state of your subscription at all, it treats the workspace as lapsed and says so on screen. It does not guess in your favour, and it does not present a failed check as a clean one.

“Read-only” is used two ways on this page, and they are worth separating. Above, it describes Berean and your systems: Berean never writes to your property software or your accounting system, subscription or not. Here it describes your workspace after a lapse: Berean stops adding to it, and everything already in it stays readable.

• Figures and findings may be incomplete or incorrect. Berean reports what its checks found and says plainly what it could not check.
• Berean compares only the dates both exports actually cover, and states what it left out on each side.
• Where it cannot tell two situations apart, it declines to judge and says so rather than guessing.
• No action is sent to a customer or outside provider.
• No production service level or availability is promised.

You are responsible for reviewing every source record, calculation, and finding before relying on it. Berean produces an exceptions list; the decisions about your books remain yours and your accountant’s.

Keep your sign-in credentials to yourself, and give workspace access only to people entitled to read your ledgers.
