For households running LLCs
Run your household and every LLC in one place — and recover your QuickBooks history.
Columnwell brings your family budget and every business you run into one connected workspace, starting with your QuickBooks history — not a fresh start.
QuickBooks per company, plus a budgeting app, adds up fast
If you run a household and a few LLCs today, you're probably paying for QuickBooks Online separately for each company, plus a personal app like Monarch or YNAB on top of that. Three companies on QuickBooks Simple Start plus Monarch runs about $1,468 a year — before your accountant's bill — and none of those tools talk to each other.
How it works
-
Import your QuickBooks history
Upload your QuickBooks Online ZIP or XLSX export. Columnwell rebuilds your trial balance and ties it out against your own numbers, so nothing gets lost or restated.
-
Connect your banks
Link accounts read-only via SimpleFIN, a flat $15/yr you pay SimpleFIN directly. Plaid support is planned but not built yet.
-
Run your household and every LLC in one place
Budgets, goals, runway, invoicing and multi-entity books, side by side — with each company's books kept strictly separate.

Why this exists
Columnwell is built by a solo founder running seven LLCs alongside his own household, who got tired of paying for QuickBooks once per company. It's made carefully, on faith, for people doing the same.
