Glysten Books · Moving from QuickBooks
A QuickBooks alternative for rental property owners
QuickBooks is general-purpose bookkeeping. Glysten Books starts from the work a property owner does every month, and you can bring your existing books with you.
Bring your books with you
Export your company from QuickBooks and drop the file in. Glysten Books checks the import against QuickBooks' own trial balance before a single entry is written, so you know the books arrived whole.
Built around what landlords track
- A profit and loss for each property, with net operating income on every P&L.
- Loans set up from four numbers off the statement, each payment split into principal and interest.
- Closing statements that become journal entries, and partner capital accounts that roll forward at year end.
- Every figure on every report opens to the entries behind it.
One price for the whole portfolio
QuickBooks Online is a subscription per company, and each plan caps how many people can use it. Glysten Books is one flat price per portfolio, covering every entity you own, with unlimited users, so your accountant and partners are included. Prices are published before anyone is charged.
Nothing posts behind your back
The bank feed suggests a category for each transaction, and you approve it. Nothing reaches the books on its own.
Your data stays portable
Export everything at any time. Run it hosted by us in the United States, or on your own hardware on standard Postgres.
