Excel tools for accounting firms
Busy season is full of copying numbers between client systems and workpapers. We are building Excel add-ins for CPA firms to cut that re-keying. Our accounting tools are planned, and Data Bridge Pro is in early access for firms whose data lives in a database.
Where the time goes
Trial balance pulls
Logging into each client system, exporting, and reformatting the trial balance for your workpapers.
Re-keyed journal entries
Building entries in Excel, then typing them into the client GL by hand.
Stale workpapers
The client posts a late adjustment and the numbers you pulled no longer match.
What we are building for firms
These tools are planned. We want to build them with firms that will use them, so early conversations shape what comes first.
Trial Balance Bridge (planned)
Pull trial balances from systems such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct and NetSuite, and map accounts to your formats.
Journal Entry Builder (planned)
Prepare entries in Excel with balancing checks and post them to the client GL.
Bank Rec Automator (planned)
Match bank activity to GL transactions and produce the reconciliation workpaper.
1099 and W-2 Prep Bridge (planned)
Pull vendor payments, apply thresholds, compare with the prior year and export for filing.
Data in SQL Server or another database?
If your firm keeps data in a database, for example a practice database or a client's reporting database, Data Bridge Pro lets staff update it from Excel with validation, an audit log and rollback.
Looking for practice management?
Optalytic, the firm behind BridgeStack, also builds Practice Ledger, time, billing and firm economics software for CPA firms.
