Your general ledger just got a mind of its own.
The Autonomous General Ledger is the self-managing financial engine at the heart of RealBooks. It ingests transactions from bank feeds, credit cards, and property management systems — then automatically classifies, reconciles, and posts every entry without human intervention. Your books are always current, always accurate, and always ready for tax time.

Financial autopilot for your portfolio
Intelligent Transaction Classification
The AGL reads every incoming transaction — bank deposits, credit card charges, property management payouts, vendor invoices — and automatically classifies it to the correct GL account, property, and IRS category. It learns from your corrections and gets smarter over time.
Continuous Reconciliation
Forget month-end closes. The AGL reconciles your accounts in real time as transactions arrive. Bank balances, credit card statements, and property management reports are continuously matched and verified — discrepancies surface instantly, not 30 days later.
Multi-Entity Portfolio Support
Whether you hold properties in your personal name, an LLC, or a mix of both, the AGL maintains clean, separate books for each entity while giving you a consolidated view across your entire portfolio. One login, every entity, every property.
- Bank feeds, credit cards, and property management systems sync automatically — no CSV imports
