# Third-party accounting systems

## Importing journal entries

Hardfin generates several types of [journal entries](/run-financial-operations/accounting/journal-entries.md) that can be exported and quickly imported into any accounting system of record. This makes it easy to use Hardfin as your [operational system for asset management](/bridging-operations-and-finance.md) and leverage that data directly as the [asset subledger](/run-financial-operations/accounting.md) for your organization.

Journal entries generated by Hardfin capture all asset movements, valuations, and transactions, providing a complete audit trail that seamlessly integrates with your accounting system. By exporting these entries, you can maintain consistency between your operational asset tracking in Hardfin and your financial records in your accounting platform of choice.
