Your books, kept current.
GlacialBooks connects your bank and card accounts, then does the sorting and the matching. You handle the calls that need judgment, and your accountant can work from the result.
Free plan, no card required. For creators, freelancers, agencies, contractors, and service businesses.
Four answers you should never have to guess at.
What you made
Income from every client, platform, payout, and payment processor lands in one place, so the number you quote is the number your records show.
Where it went
Spending is sorted into categories that match how you actually work, with the receipt kept next to the purchase it belongs to.
What you can keep
Profit, deductions, and what to set aside for taxes stay visible through the year rather than arriving as a surprise in April.
What needs your attention
Anything GlacialBooks cannot decide on its own becomes a short, specific list, so you always know whether you are finished.
However you built this, the books should fit it.
Pick the closest match and GlacialBooks arrives already set up for that kind of work.
Three steps to books that are current.
Nothing here assumes you have done this before, and nothing waits on a sales call.
STEP 1
Tell us how you earn
Answer two questions about the work you do and what you need organized. GlacialBooks sets up categories, reports, and a starting chart of accounts that fit that answer.
STEP 2
Bring in your money activity
Connect a bank or card through Plaid, add an account manually, or upload a CSV or Excel file. Historical activity can come in the same way.
STEP 3
Sort the first transactions
GlacialBooks categorizes what it recognizes and explains what it did. You confirm the handful it cannot decide, and the books are current from that point on.
Work that leaves your list.
GlacialBooks takes the repetitive part and explains what it did.
Income and spending sorted for you
New activity is sorted as it arrives, with the reason attached and a question only when the call is yours.
Know what you made and kept
Profit and loss, cash flow, what you own and owe, and unpaid invoices and bills, all prepared for you.
Receipts stay with the purchase
Photograph a receipt and it attaches to the purchase, ready to split across jobs or categories line by line.
See which work makes money
Split expenses, receipt lines, and payroll across jobs, then compare revenue against what delivery actually cost.
Everything in the account matches
Bank and card activity is matched against your books, leaving a short list of anything that disagrees.
Your month is ready to close
Activity sorted, accounts checked, reports prepared, and only the decisions that need you left waiting.
Connected or added by hand
Connect supported banks through Plaid, or add accounts by hand and upload CSV or Excel statements.
Bring the books you already have
Guided imports bring your accounts, contacts, transactions, open invoices and bills, and journal history with you.
Arko keeps the books and explains the parts nobody taught you.
Unfamiliar term? Arko says what it means right where you are looking. Decision that genuinely needs you? Arko asks once and gets out of the way.
Friendly on the surface, exact underneath.
You make real decisions from these numbers, and your accountant has to be able to check them.
Everything in the account matches
GlacialBooks compares your bank and card activity against your books, completes the clear matches, and shows you only the differences that need a decision.
Your accountant can work from this
Invite an accountant or bookkeeper at no extra seat cost. They see complete records, prepared reports, and the ability to review or correct work without rebuilding it.
Every change is saved
When a number changes, GlacialBooks keeps what it was, what it became, and why, so you and your accountant can always see what happened.
See where this number came from
Open any figure in a report to follow it back to the transaction, the receipt, and the source activity behind it.
Your records leave when you do
Export transactions, reports, journals, and supporting files at any time. The books belong to the business, not to the software.
Controls that scale with the team
Approvals, roles, and workspace permissions arrive when you add people, and stay out of the way while you are working alone.
Pricing that stays easy to understand.
Start free and move up when the team or the work asks for it. Paid plans never meter transactions or connections.

Frequently asked questions
