How TSBooks works
Everything reads the same books.
TSBooks is a Unified Financial Platform: one system of record for the entire financial life of a business. Accounting, group reporting, tax and investor accounts all read the same books, so no figure is re-keyed and every figure traces back to the source.
What is a Unified Financial Platform?Record once. Connect by ownership. Compute everything else.
Record
Every source, one way in
Bank and card feeds, invoices, bills and payments, history from prior systems and accountants' entries, plus what accounting software leaves out: broker and custodian statements, custom loans, investor subscriptions and redemptions, and K-1s from other partnerships. Every transaction posts as a balanced double-entry in one company's books, and the database refuses any entry that does not balance.
Connect
Ownership joins the companies
Each company keeps an owners list (people, trusts, outside businesses or other companies in TSBooks) with percentages and effective dates, and those lists form the company tree. A shared chart lines up accounts across the companies, and each transaction with a related company is tagged at entry.
Compute
Every answer computed from the books
Statements for each company, consolidated statements for any company in the tree, partnership returns with each partner's K-1, and every investor's account are computed from the books on demand. A correction to an entry reaches every statement and schedule built on that entry.
01 — Accounting
Full-featured accounting
Complete double-entry books for each company, from daily transactions to year-end financial statements.
- Sales and purchasing
- Invoicing, bills, payments and credits for every customer and vendor.
- Banking
- Bank and card feeds sync every six hours, with rules, matching and reconciliation for every account and card.
- Reporting
- Financial statements, aging, budgets and cash flow, current to the day.
- Controls
- Closing dates, per-company roles and a complete audit log. Posted entries are never overwritten.
02 — Multi-company
Multi-company financial platform
Any number of companies and firms in one system, each with separate books, joined by ownership into one group view.
- Every company in one place
- Each company keeps a separate chart, customers, vendors and history, one click from the next.
- Ownership structure
- Owners, holding companies and subsidiaries, with percentages and the dates of every change.
- Consolidation
- A column per company, then ownership, eliminations and the consolidated total. Dealings between the companies cancel exactly, and anything unmatched is shown rather than hidden.
- Access by company
- Owner, admin, accountant, standard, limited and reports-only roles, set per company, so an outside accountant sees only the companies assigned.
03 — Tax
Tax preparation and filing
Returns prepared from the ledger kept all year, not re-keyed from printouts in the spring.
- Partnership returns
- TSBooks suggests a Form 1065 line for every account. Once confirmed, page 1, Form 8825 and Schedules K and L fill from the books.
- Schedules K-1
- Each partner's share of income, deductions and capital follows the recorded ownership.
- Tie-outs
- Schedules M-1 and M-2 tie book income to the return and roll partners' capital forward, and the checks must pass before a return is final.
- Sales tax
- Sales tax returns by agency and period, from the same entries.
04 — Investors
Investor dashboard
Every investor's account, worked out day by day from the same books: what each has put in, what each has taken out, and each one's share of the results. The daily entries post to the ledger, so investor statements tie to the books.
- Accredited investor records
- Each investor's accreditation basis, verification and expiry dates, and qualified client or purchaser status.
- Returns from every source
- Holdings at a broker, custom loans and other private investments are valued from dated valuations, each carried forward to the next.
- Investor accounts
- Each day's result is shared by each investor's capital that morning, per the partnership agreement, net of the fees for the investor's class.
- Capital and K-1s
- Contributions, distributions and allocated results roll forward to each partner's K-1.
05 — Answers
Ask, and the books answer
Claude connects to TSBooks under each person's own permissions, and nothing posts without approval.
- Questions in plain language
- Why is payables negative in this company? What was spent with a vendor this year? Claude reads the books and answers.
- Entries drafted, not posted
- When something needs recording, Claude prepares the entry through the real posting rules and shows exactly what would post.
- Approval required
- Nothing posts without an explicit yes, and the audit log records that the entry came through the connection.
- Individual connections
- Each person connects a personal Claude account, which can be disconnected in one click.
06 — Underneath
Complete control of the books
The records live on a server the business owns. No vendor can raise the price, change the terms or switch the system off.
- Self-hosted
- TSBooks runs on a Windows or Linux server with PostgreSQL, which keeps each company's records apart at the database level. Backups run nightly.
- Every change on record
- Entries are never overwritten; corrections reverse and re-post, and the audit log shows who did what, when, and from where.
- History brought in
- Companies import from QuickBooks Online, with an exact copy of the original kept beside the books.
- No lock-in
- A standard database, CSV from every report, and files on disk.
Every number a business runs on, in one system.
