Akaunting February 2026 Round Up: Customer Statements, and Growing Trends
Reading Time: 4 minutesFebruary gave us a clearer view of what small businesses want from their accounting software in 2026. Not more clutter. N more admin. Not more guesswork.
They want cleaner financial visibility, quicker answers, and tools that make everyday workflows easier to manage. That is why this month’s trends matter. They show not just what users clicked, but what they are actively trying to solve.
One product in particular fits that pattern well: the Customer Statement app.
Why customer statements matter more than many businesses realize
Late payments are often treated as collection issues. In reality, it is often a clarity issue first.
When a customer cannot immediately tell which invoices are still open, which payments have already been recorded, or what their running balance looks like, even a simple payment conversation can turn into a long back-and-forth.
That slows down collections, creates avoidable disputes, and adds friction to an otherwise healthy customer relationship.
The Customer Statement app helps solve that by bringing invoices, payments, and balances into one cleaner view. If you want to see the workflow in action, Akaunting’s Customer Statement video guide walks through how statements can be generated, emailed, printed, and downloaded.
This also lines up with a broader pattern we have already highlighted on the Akaunting blog. In our January 2026 update, we noted how late payments continue to put pressure on small businesses. That makes visibility tools more than a convenience. They are part of how businesses protect cash flow.
February user insights: where growth stood out
The numbers below come from Akaunting’s internal February product activity. That means they are best read as directional signals about how users behaved inside the platform during the month.
Top growth regions
- – Iran: +222%
- – Ireland: +105%
- – Australia: +85%
- – Argentina: +34%
- – France: +22%
There were also notable mentions for Chile, Poland, and Fiji.
What makes this interesting is the spread. Growth did not come from one narrow market. It appeared across very different business environments, which suggests the need for straightforward bookkeeping, reporting, and payment visibility is broadly shared.
What users did more in February, and what that likely means
Compared with January, these actions saw the biggest growth:
- – Create POS Order Transaction: +366%
- – Pin Reports: +76%
- – Create Bill: +42.5%
- – Create Transfer: +35%
- – Create Income Transaction: +34%
Each one hints at a different shift in user behavior.
POS transactions jumped sharply
A 366% increase in POS order transactions suggests more users are integrating Akaunting more into their day-to-day sales process, not just using it for end-of-month bookkeeping.
That matters because the closer accounting starts to the point of sale, the less room there is for missed entries, delayed reconciliation, and reporting gaps.
Report pinning is a small feature with a big signal
A 76% rise in pinned reports may sound minor at first, but it usually points to something bigger.
People pin reports when they want to repeatedly access the same numbers. That could mean sales summaries, receivables, payables, or cash position. In other words, users are not just storing financial data. They are checking it more often and using it more actively for decisions.
Bills, transfers, and income tracking all moved up together
When bill creation, transfers, and income transactions all rise in the same month, that usually signals tighter financial discipline.
It suggests users are recording both inflows and outflows more consistently, moving money between accounts with greater intent, and keeping records current rather than cleaning everything up later. For small businesses, that tends to lead to better reporting accuracy and fewer surprises.
The apps and subscriptions that gained the most momentum
Among purchases, the biggest month-over-month growth came from:
- – Ultimate Cloud (+200%): points to demand for convenience and scale. Businesses want a setup that is easier to run and requires minimal maintenance.
- – Aged Receivables/Payables (+133%): points to something even more important: timing. It is not enough to know how much is owed. Businesses also need to know how old those balances are. That is how overdue accounts become visible before they start hurting cash flow.
- – Stripe (+66%): reflects the same priority from another angle. If businesses want fewer payment delays, easier payment collection becomes a natural next step.
Taken together, these apps suggest a bigger theme for February: users are trying to reduce friction between sending, tracking, and collecting money.
What users are curious about next
Added-to-cart data often shows where attention is heading before purchase data catches up.
The biggest growth in added-to-cart activity came from:
- – Square (+150%): points to continued interest in smoother payment workflows.
- – Projects (+133%): suggests users want tighter links between tasks, deliverables, expenses, and profitability
- – Bank Feeds (+90%): points to one of the biggest operational wins in small business accounting–reducing manual transaction entry and making reconciliation easier.
So while purchases tell us what users committed to in February, added-to-cart growth tells us what they are preparing to fix next.
Tip of the month: connect transactions to invoices and bills
One of the most useful habits this month is also one of the simplest. When you create an Income or Expense in Transactions, you can connect it to the related Invoice or Bill.
That small step gives every payment or cost more context. Instead of a disconnected transaction line, you get a cleaner trail back to the original document. That makes reconciliation easier, reporting more accurate, and follow-up much faster when a customer or supplier has a question later.
