Accounts that behave like ledgers
Every sub-account has its own balance, its own rules, and its own audit trail. No spreadsheets pretending to be infrastructure.
Operating accounts, treasury and approvals in one ledger — with a balance that reconciles itself before your finance lead opens their laptop.
Live balance, categorised spend and the last five movements — the same view your board gets, without a monthly export.
Illustrative figures for a demonstration account. Yield shown net of fees and is not a forecast; Keel is a template, not a licensed institution, and nothing here is financial advice.
Three decisions that make the difference between a bank account and a treasury function.
Every sub-account has its own balance, its own rules, and its own audit trail. No spreadsheets pretending to be infrastructure.
Idle balance sweeps into T-bills nightly and comes back before your first payment run. You set the floor; we do not touch it.
Policies are enforced at the rail, not in an inbox. A payment outside policy cannot be sent, not even by a founder.
Keel connects the work around the balance: knowing what is safe to spend, approving what leaves, and giving the board a ledger that reconciles.
Runway, upcoming payroll, committed bills and the treasury floor resolve into one available-to-spend figure. The answer is visible without rebuilding a spreadsheet.
Amount, entity, counterparty and payment rail determine the path. Reviewers see the evidence with the request, and a missing approval cannot be bypassed.
Receipts, owners and account codes travel with every movement. Exceptions remain explicit; cleared items export cleanly to the accounting system.
