The file graveyard

One register instead of a folder of spreadsheets.

One spreadsheet per entity, per book, per year — each with four tabs. It gets unmanageable fast.

In Bricks, it’s one register. Finding what you need takes seconds.

214 assets · 4 entities

One place. Every book, every year. It ties.

How it works

Set up once. Never rebuild a schedule again.

Start from your last filing or last close. The AI reads your export and brings every asset in, matched to what you reported.

From then on, nothing to rebuild. No new workbook every January, no new tabs. Enter an asset once and you never touch its setup again.

Schedules stay current · Reports ready when someone asks · Book, Tax, AMT, and State stay in step

Month-end close

Close depreciation in two clicks.

You’ve typed this entry before — entity by entity, account by account, checking the total twice.

In Bricks, pick the period and click generate. It balances, and it matches your GL accounts.

Try it: pick a book and a date.

NBV, any date

Any asset. Any date. Any book.

Stop rebuilding a mid-year schedule every time someone asks what an asset is worth.

“The schedule we were working on before, they don’t really make it easy because it’s a year-end statement. If I’m looking in the middle of the year, I don’t know where I’m at depreciation-wise. So this tells me as of today, this is how much it’s worth, this is how much depreciation is left, and I can just book the depreciation right off really fast.” — Controller, Manufacturing

Built-in AI

The AI does the typing.

It drafts the imports, the column mapping, the asset setup, and the report summaries. You glance and OK it. Nothing posts on its own.

It reads messy files.

Group headers, subtotal rows, blank column names — it turns whatever the file looks like into a clean table.

It maps your columns.

Columns that don’t obviously match a field get figured out from their values.

It sets up depreciation.

Describe a new asset — the category, method, and useful life come back filled in, with the reasoning.

Report summaries in one click.

The report on screen becomes a plain-English write-up, ready for a client or an auditor.

Switching

You’re live before your next close.

Start with last year’s export, another system’s file, or nothing. We do the moving-in part.

  1. 01 We take your file.

    Spreadsheet, Bloomberg Tax export, Sage file, or any CSV. No reformatting first.

  2. 02 We map and verify.

    We import every asset, match your fields, and check each calculation against what you already reported. Beginning balances carry over, locked.

  3. 03 We hand you the keys.

    Review your numbers, run your first reports, and close the month.

Nothing posts to your ledger until you approve it.

You don’t pay until you’re live.

Customers

“$600 a year — this is a no-brainer for me. It does what I’d like and more.”

Finance Director, Medical Practice

“I have to go to our auditors and say, hey guys, we sold this. I think we acquired it in 2016. I think we paid about $20K. Is it fully depreciated? And then by the time I get my journal entry, a whole day’s gone by. I mean, I want to be able to do these things on my own.”

Controller, Manufacturing

“Yeah, I love it. That’s great, because this is what I didn’t have before in QuickBooks. All I have is total assets, total depreciation, per year. I don’t have it for each asset. So this is awesome.”

FAQ

Common questions.

Can I bring my existing data from spreadsheets or another system?

Yes. A spreadsheet, a Bloomberg Tax or Sage export, or any CSV works. Your history comes with you — you don’t start over.

Will my auditor accept reports from Bricks?

Yes. Every report exports to PDF, Excel, and CSV in formats auditors expect — depreciation schedules, roll forwards, asset registers, journal entries. Our customers' auditors have accepted these reports.

Can it handle multiple entities with different ownership structures?

Yes. We support multi-entity reporting with separate books per entity, TIC (tenancy-in-common) percentage allocation, and consolidated views across all entities. One of our customers manages 9 entities with shared ownership structures in a single account.

Does it integrate with my accounting software?

Today: clean CSV, Excel, and PDF exports that match your GL structure. Direct integrations with QuickBooks and Sage Intacct are on the roadmap.

Does Bricks generate IRS tax forms (4562, 4797)?

No. Your CPA generates the forms. We give them the numbers — depreciation schedules, gain/loss on disposal, Section 179 detail — in the format they need.

What depreciation methods do you support?

SL/FM, MACRS 200DB and 150DB (half-year, mid-quarter, mid-month conventions), Section 179, bonus depreciation, and Canadian CCA. If you have a method we don't handle yet, tell us — we've built every method a customer has asked for.

Is my data secure?

Bricks runs on enterprise Postgres with row-level security, encrypted at rest and in transit. Your data is isolated by organization — no other customer can see it.

Bring one export. See your assets on four books, a month-end journal entry, and the value of any asset on the date you pick.
