If It Shows Up on a Broker Statement, We Handle It.
41 transaction types. Stock splits, spin-offs, return of capital, options, trust distributions, corporate actions — each one automatically validated, posted to the general ledger, and tracked for ACB. Your GL can’t do this. Excel shouldn’t.
The Transactions That Break Everything Else
Your general accounting software can handle a stock purchase. But what happens when BCE spins off a subsidiary? When a trust distributes income across multiple income types? When your client exercises a call option? When you need to transfer shares between custodians and maintain correct ACB at both ends?
In Excel, each of these is a formula risk. In your ERP, each is a manual workaround. In Wealth Write.Up, each is a guided form that auto-posts to the right GL accounts in seconds. That’s why our clients save 50%+ on bookkeeping time. Not because we’re faster at the easy stuff — because we eliminate the hard stuff entirely.
Corporate Actions — The Transactions That Break Excel
When a company reorganizes, merges, splits, or spins off a subsidiary, your cost base changes. Get this wrong and your capital gains calculations are wrong for every subsequent transaction. Wealth Write.Up handles the ACB allocation automatically.
Options & Derivatives — For Sophisticated Portfolios
Full options lifecycle tracking. Premiums, exercises, assignments, expirations — all with correct tax treatment and automatic GL posting. Your accounting software can’t handle short positions. Ours can.
Securities — Every Asset Class
Shares, bonds, GICs, treasury bills, discount notes, promissory notes, banker’s acceptance notes — each with the right fields, the right calculations, and the right GL treatment. Purchase and sale forms adapt to the security type.
Income — Every Type, Properly Categorized
Canadian eligible dividends vs. non-eligible. Foreign dividends with withholding tax. Trust distributions broken down by character. Interest income with non-resident tax tracking. Each income type posts to the correct GL account and appears on the correct tax report.
Transfers — Between Accounts, Between Custodians
Transfer shares or cash between broker and bank accounts while maintaining accurate records at both ends. Multi-currency transfers with FX tracking. Clearing accounts ensure both sides balance. Including donations received and given.
Fees, Expenses & Adjustments
Investment counsel fees, interest expense on margin, and miscellaneous cash movements — all with proper tax treatment including GST/HST and PST/QST tracking.
Every Transaction.
Automatically Posted.
Fully Tracked.
When you enter a transaction in Wealth Write.Up, five things happen automatically:
Step 1
The transaction is validated against your account and security data.
Step 2
The correct general ledger accounts are identified from your broker-GL linking.
Step 3
Automatically created balanced (double-entry) journal entries, including complex postings beyond two accounts.
Step 4
Adjusted cost base is recalculated for the security (when applicable)
Step 5
All affected reports update in real time. No manual journal entries. No reconciliation. No formulas.
USD transactions automatically pull the Bank of Canada exchange rate for the transaction date. Both CAD and USD values are tracked for every transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses are calculated and posted on sales. Realized and unrealized FX impact is visible across your reports.
Moving from Excel? Import your transaction history and GL structure. Your historical data comes with you – including multi-year positions and cost basis.
