Multi-Entity Accounting for Investors

Real estate investors and business owners rarely have just one entity. You might have an LLC for each rental property, a holding company, and a personal portfolio. Each needs its own books — separate chart of accounts, separate journal entries, separate reports — but you need to see them all from one login.

Twin Owls is built around this. Every business you create gets its own isolated ledger. You switch between them from the sidebar, and everything — accounts, transactions, reports — scopes to the selected entity.

Setting up your entities

From the Businesses page, create a new business for each legal entity you manage. Choose the business type (LLC, corporation, sole proprietorship, partnership) — this affects how owner equity is labeled throughout the app.

Each entity gets its own chart of accounts. Twin Owls creates a default chart when you create the business, but you can customize it to match your accountant's preferences.

Switching between entities

The entity switcher in the sidebar lets you move between businesses instantly. When you switch, the entire workspace updates — dashboard, accounts, transactions, and reports all reflect the selected entity.

Collaborating across entities

You can invite team members with different roles per entity. An accountant might have full access to your rental property LLC but only viewer access to your holding company. Roles are scoped per business — admin, accountant, editor, or viewer.
