Bank connections that actually stay connected.

Kestrel uses Plaid to connect to your banks. That means accounts stay linked, syncs don't drop, and transaction history stays intact. All your banks, all your accounts, all in one place.

Your transactions, exactly the way you need them.

Every transaction comes in categorized, labeled, and ready to edit. Add notes on specific charges. Flag one-time expenses so they don't skew your projections. Sort and filter by property, entity, category, or date.

Your categories. Your rules. Auto-applied.

Kestrel ships with a full set of real estate-specific categories — every one of them mapped to Schedule E. Need a subcategory that fits your management style? Add it. Then set up a rule and never manually tag that vendor again.

How It Works

Connected accounts and auto-categorized transactions

Connect once. Kestrel handles everything else automatically, across every entity.

Your data is encrypted, never sold, secured by Plaid.

1

Connect your accounts via Plaid

Link checking, savings, credit cards, and mortgages across all your entities. Plaid's secure connection means your login credentials never touch Kestrel's servers. Takes a few minutes. Works permanently.

2

Transactions sync and get categorized automatically

Every transaction comes in and gets tagged against your category system. Recurring vendors get auto-tagged by your rules. Loan payments get split between interest and principal using your actual amortization schedule.

3

Add context where you need it

Flag one-time charges, add notes on individual transactions, mark reimbursables. The comment field is a small feature you'll use constantly — it keeps the story behind the number right next to the number.

4

Your books are always current

No month-end reconciling. No catching up. When tax season arrives or a banker asks for financials, the data is already clean, categorized, and ready to export. You're not starting from scratch — you're just hitting print.

Connect once. Stay current forever.

No more logging into four bank portals. No more Sunday night reconciling. Just accurate books, all the time, across every entity you own.
