GlacialBooks for Bookkeepers and Accountants
GlacialBooks is approachable for a business owner, but it does not remove the accounting detail a professional needs. The platform keeps double entry records, immutable posted journals, correction history, source provenance, reconciliation evidence, job allocations, payroll lineage, and report drilldowns available for review.
Run a repeatable client workflow
Each organization has its own members, settings, chart of accounts, transaction rules, jobs, close history, reports, support tickets, imports, and audit activity. Arko can run categorization, reconciliation, anomaly review, job profitability analysis, and month end close in the background.
Confidence thresholds and exception queues keep ambiguous work visible. Approved changes are recorded, and posted accounting corrections use reversals instead of rewriting history. Rollback workflows are available for supported Arko actions.
Handle job and client accounting
Transactions can be split across multiple jobs by percentage, fixed amount, labor hours, templates, or rules. Receipt items can be split across jobs before the related transaction allocation is posted. Payroll lines for employees and contractors can be allocated across multiple jobs and revised with correction history.
Job profitability, payroll cost by job, overhead allocation, and rollforward reports connect the allocation work to client and project results.
Move and inspect client data
The Import Center handles accounts, contacts, journal entries, bank activity, open invoices, open bills, payroll, and receipts. Every file is previewed, common columns are detected, duplicate rows are protected, and each import retains a result history.
When customer support needs to investigate an issue, an organization administrator grants a limited set of support permissions for a fixed time. The internal support workspace can then show connection health, Arko runs, imports, receipt processing, and recent account activity. Customer data access is revocable and each workspace view is recorded.
Frequently asked questions
Can a professional override Arko?
Yes. Role protected workflows allow review, correction, controlled journal entries, allocation changes, and rollback where supported. The original action remains visible.
Does GlacialBooks support multiple client organizations?
Yes. Users can belong to multiple organizations with separate roles and data boundaries. Client operations remain organization scoped.
Can I see how a report number was produced?
Yes. Report drilldowns expose the accounts, journal entries, transactions, invoices, bills, payroll, and job allocations that contribute to the reported amount.
