General Ledger

SaaS-native accounting that actually understands your business

QuickBooks was built for Main Street, not for recurring revenue. You spend hours reclassifying transactions, hacking around missing categories, and explaining your chart of accounts to your bookkeeper.

How it works

StartOS ships with a SaaS-optimized chart of accounts, double-entry ledger, and automated GL posting from every module. Revenue recognition, cost allocation, and multi-entity consolidation are built in, not bolted on.

  • SaaS-optimized chart of accounts with ~100 pre-built GL codes
  • Double-entry ledger with Zod-enforced debit/credit balance
  • Automated GL posting from invoices, payroll, cost sync, and capitalization
  • P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements
  • Multi-period comparison (3/6/12 month side-by-side)
  • Budget vs actual tracking with variance analysis
  • AR and AP aging with automated dunning reminders
  • Bill management with approval workflows
  • Accountant package: one-click export of trial balance, GL detail, AR/AP aging, deferred revenue, and fixed-asset schedules
  • Read-only auditor seat so your accountant works in StartOS directly, with a guided audit walkthrough
  • Drill any P&L, balance sheet, or cash-flow line down to its transactions and full double-entry
  • Pay runs and AP payment execution via Bill.com, Mercury, or Ramp Bill Pay, with segregation-of-duties approval gates
  • Two-tier class dimensions on every line, with P&L filtering by department, location, or class
  • Balance sheet and P&L by day, month, or year
