Deserve a Real General Ledger
See 20+ years of continuous, audit-ready investment accounting in action. 20-minute demo.
A True General Ledger. Not a Data Scraper or a Super-Spreadsheet.
Wealth Write.Up doesn’t aggregate data and hope your ERP or accounting system can handle it. Every broker transaction auto-posts to a real general ledger with true balanced (double-entry) accounting. Balance sheet. Income statement. Trial balance. 20+ years of continuous books. Spanning multiple accounts. Your auditors will notice.
Your Investment Data Lives in Two Worlds. It Shouldn’t.
Most investment accounting approaches create a gap: broker data lives in one system (or spreadsheet), and accounting data lives in another. Reconciliation fills the gap — manually, periodically, and imperfectly. Every corporate action, every transfer between custodians, every FX conversion becomes a reconciliation risk. Wealth Write.Up closes the gap.
Broker transactions and general ledger entries live in the same system. When you record a stock purchase, the debit to marketable securities and the credit to the broker cash account happen simultaneously. When you record a spin-off, the ACB allocation and the GL entries happen in one step. No reconciliation needed because there’s nothing to reconcile.
What the General Ledger Includes

Link each broker and bank account to the corresponding GL accounts once. From that point on, every transaction you enter in the broker module creates balanced (double-entry) journal entries for every transaction in the GL automatically. Capital gains post to the gains account. Dividends post to income. Return of capital adjusts the asset account. You never manually create a journal entry for an investment transaction again.
Four types of GL transactions: Broker (BRK) — auto-generated from broker module. Bank (BNK) — manual banking entries. Adjusting (ADJ) — manual journal entries. Recurring (REC) — scheduled repeating entries.

Balance Sheet and Income Statement. Always Current.
Because the GL is real, your financial statements are real. Current and comparative balance sheets. Trial balance validation. Current and comparative income statements. Generated on demand from live GL data — not assembled from transformations or exports. Clients have used this to maintain 20+ years of continuous, accurate financial statements for their investment entities.
Full GL Functionality. Not Just Investment Data.
Record banking entries for deposits, withdrawals, and transfers. Create adjusting journal entries for accruals, reclassifications, and year-end adjustments. Set up recurring entries for regular postings. Foreign exchange entries are supported. Every entry must balance to zero — the system enforces double-entry discipline.
Close the Year in One Click. Start the Next One Immediately.
Run Check Data to verify account balances. Export to Taxprep, CaseWare, or Excel. Click Close Year. All positions carry forward. Prior-year transactions move to the Prior Years view and become locked — no accidental edits to closed books. You can enter next-year transactions immediately, even before the current year is officially closed. The system tracks fiscal year boundaries and warns you if a transaction crosses the year-end date.
General Ledger Book of Record. Accounting Book of Record.
Wealth Write.Up isn’t a reporting overlay. It’s the book of record for your investments. The General Ledger Book of Record (GLBOR) and the Accounting Book of Record (ABOR). That means your investment entity’s complete financial truth lives in one system: every transaction, every position, every cost basis, every financial statement. When your auditor asks for the general ledger, you export it. When they ask for capital gains, you generate the report. When they ask how a number was calculated, you drill through to the source transaction. No reconciliation to a separate system. No “we’ll get back to you on that.”
