Bookkeeping for New and Small Businesses

A new business needs a simple answer to what happened with its money. A growing business also needs approvals, job or client profitability, reliable reports, and records that another person can review. GlacialBooks supports both stages without making a new owner operate an accounting system by hand.

Get the first month right

Set up the organization, connect supported banks and cards, or add accounts manually. Bring in historical CSV or Excel activity when the business started before the software did. GlacialBooks sorts the transactions, checks them against the bank, and asks for clarification only when the source does not support a confident answer.

The profit and loss report shows income, expenses, and profit for the period. Cash flow explains where cash came from and where it went. The balance sheet shows what the business owns and owes. Arko can answer questions about these reports and open the related transaction or account.

Handle the work around the books

Create invoices, track customer payments, enter vendor bills, approve spending, and follow overdue balances. Upload receipts and assign receipt items to the right jobs. Import payroll files for employees and contractors, then allocate those costs across the work they supported.

At month end, Arko runs the repeatable close work, prepares the report packet, and leaves true judgment calls for review. Every run and correction is recorded.

Add structure as the company grows

Invite team members with appropriate roles, add approvals, create job allocation rules, and give an outside bookkeeper or accountant the review depth they need. Temporary support access is customer controlled, time limited, permission limited, revocable, and recorded.

Medium and enterprise teams can use the same accounting, job cost, approval, reporting, import, and investigation workflows with a more controlled rollout. Summit pricing is handled through sales because those requirements vary.
