Built for real bookkeeping work.
Document extraction
Upload invoices and receipts, review the details GlacialBooks reads, then divide individual receipt items among the jobs that used them.
Contact management
Keep customers, vendors, tax IDs, W-9 status, 1099 eligibility, and addresses in one place so the right details are available whenever you go to invoice or pay someone.
Payroll without a direct connection
Upload employee and contractor payroll files with pay runs, cost types, taxes, benefits, and job columns, then review the accounting and job allocations.
TaxTundra integration
TaxTundra export/import is coming soon.
Field provenance
Every value on a record shows whether it came from manual entry, AI extraction, a bank sync, or an import, so you can trust what is in front of you and trace anything that looks off.
Currency settings
Set the reporting currency for each organization and retain the currency used on accounts, invoices, and bills.
Customizable rules
Create, prioritize, and toggle categorization rules of your own, and yours always take precedence over the defaults that ship with the system.
Arko
Quiet by default, loud only when it matters.
Arko works through new activity and month-end tasks overnight, answers direct questions about your accounts and transactions, applies the updates you request, and brings back only the calls that truly need your judgment.
