General-purpose bookkeeping makes a property owner do the sorting, the matching and the reconciling by hand, then hides the answer three reports deep. Glysten Books starts from exactly those places.
Bank feed
Sorted before you see it
Transactions arrive on their own. Rules learned from your own history fill in the category, duplicates are caught three separate ways, and nothing reaches the books until you approve it, at your desk or on your phone.
Help assistant
Ask your books a question
What did the 5-plex spend on repairs this year? Why will this not post? The assistant answers from the entries in the books you have open, and can draft an entry for you to approve. It reads your books only if you let it. Claude or ChatGPT can connect too, on a key you can revoke.
Statements
Upload it; it reads it
Drop in a bank, card or mortgage statement and Glysten Books reads it and reconciles against it. A layout it has not seen can be taught once, and it knows it from then on.
Every number
Click a figure, see the entry
A total on the P&L opens to the transactions behind it, and each of those to the journal entry: both sides, the date, the memo. The books are never a number you have to take on trust.
Per property
Which building actually earns
Tag a line to a building or a development. Profit & Loss by Class shows each property on its own, net operating income sits on every P&L, and the cash flow statement is built so it cannot disagree with the balance sheet.
Loans
Four numbers off the statement
The loan type, the rate, the monthly payment and the lender's balance. Glysten Books splits each payment into principal and interest, and a correcting entry at each statement keeps the books matching the lender.
Real estate
Closings become entries
Upload a closing statement and it becomes the journal entry, with the property bought or sold already on the right side. Partner capital accounts roll forward when you close the year.
Invoices and jobs
Bill the work, cost the job
Estimates and invoices from the same books, and job costing for the building you are putting up, so what a job has cost is a report, not a spreadsheet.
Every LLC
All your entities, one login
Separate books per entity, switched in a click, one vendor list shared between them, and 1099s prepared from the W-9s you keep. No second subscription for your second building.
