Built on a double-entry ledger reviewed by a CPA for structural correctness — the same accounting model your accountant already trusts.
Startup accounting has always meant waiting.
You export a CSV. You email your bookkeeper. Three weeks later a P&L arrives that you can't trace back to a single transaction. Somewhere in there, an investor asks what your runway is, and the honest answer is that you're not sure. It costs you $1,500 a month and you still don't have books you'd hand to a CPA.
- Books close weeks late, if they close
- No one can explain a line back to source
- The tooling stops at “categorize this transaction”
- Crypto lives in a separate spreadsheet nobody reconciles
- Switching bookkeepers means starting over
Connect it once. Review what matters. Approve the close.
Connect
Link your bank, cards, Stripe, payroll, and wallets. Everything imports read-only — Tyrese never moves your money.
Tyrese prepares the books
Every transaction becomes a balanced journal entry on your own double-entry ledger. Transfers, Stripe payouts, and payroll are recognized structurally, not guessed at.
You approve
Tyrese surfaces the exceptions that need judgment and clears the rest. Approve, close the month, and the reports are ready.
What makes it different
Most tools categorize transactions. Tyrese keeps the books.
Tyrese owns a native double-entry ledger. Your bank, Stripe, and payroll are read-only feeds into it — not the source of truth. That's the difference between a categorized transaction list and a set of books that ties out.
Every entry balances
Debits equal credits at write time. An unbalanced entry cannot be recorded — the database rejects it.
Posted entries never change
Corrections create reversing entries, the way an accountant expects. Your history is immutable.
Closed months stay closed
Closing a period locks it. Reopening requires an explicit workflow and leaves a permanent trail.
Every change is explainable
Who, what, before, after, and whether it came from you, from Tyrese, or from a feed. On every single action.
Everything the close needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Native double-entry ledger
A startup chart of accounts, seeded on day one and reviewed by a CPA. Journal entries, reversals, adjustments, and a full general ledger — yours, not a vendor's.
Connected ingestion
Banks and cards through Plaid, revenue through Stripe, plus CSV import for anything else. Re-importing the same file changes nothing — duplicates are impossible by construction.
Reconciliation
Every account reconciles to source, to the cent. When something doesn't tie out, you hear about it before you close, not after.
AI review queue
Tyrese categorizes what it recognizes with a confidence score and a plain-English reason, and asks you about the rest. You approve — it never posts material entries on its own.
Monthly close
Blockers surfaced, notes recorded, period locked, reports versioned. A close you can actually finish in an evening.
Reports & finance pack
P&L, balance sheet, trial balance, general ledger, burn and runway. One click to an investor-ready pack or a CPA handoff.
Fiat and on-chain
Your wallet activity belongs in your books.
Tyrese imports wallet and exchange activity alongside your bank and card feeds, values it in USD at the time of the transaction, and books it to the same ledger. One set of books. One close. One tax picture.
One ledger
On-chain transfers, exchange activity, and fiat spend post to the same chart of accounts, in USD.
Cost basis and gain/loss
Disposals compute realized gain and loss by an approved lot method, and land in the same reports your CPA already reads.
Learns your counterparties
A wallet that pays your contractor every month is recognized as your contractor, not as a hex string.
From connected to closed.
