“A legal entity is a structure a founder chooses. It isn’t the business itself,” said Jeff Seibert, founder and CEO of Digits, in a statement. “Adding entities is one of the most common reasons businesses outgrow small business accounting software, because those tools only understand the structure. We built Multi-Entity so every entity keeps the separate books that compliance requires, while owners and their accountants run the whole thing as one business.”

Digits Multi-Entity allows users to add multiple entities to a single organization, and firms can add multiple entities to a single client, all under one subscription and payment method. Every entity keeps its own ledger, transactions, close and tax identity, and users switch between entities without switching accounts. A client that operates through several entities appears as one client on the firm dashboard, and firms can add entities to a client directly. Each transaction in each entity is categorized and reconciled continuously through the company’s Automated General Ledger, so each book stays current as activity comes in. 

For accounting firms, multi-entity clients appear as a single grouped organization, making it easier to manage their books without navigating disconnected accounts.

The new offering takes advantage of the company’s recent integration with financial reporting solutions provider Reach Reporting. Users can connect their Digits entities to Reach for consolidated financial statements, dashboards, budgets and forecasts, and drill down from group results to any single entity. Because Digits keeps each entity’s books continuously categorized and reconciled, Reach works from current financial data. Digits is also working with Reach to make it simpler to connect an entire multi-entity organization at once.

Digits Multi-Entity supports a wide range of structures. These include real estate operators with an LLC for each property, holdco/opco setups, SPVs, family offices and high-net-worth households managing several vehicles, finance teams that want per-entity reconciliation, and founders adding a second entity who don’t want to adopt a platform they’ll outgrow. Each additional entity on the Essentials plan is free for its first 250 transactions per year, then $35 per month.

The release comes shortly after Digits announced the availability of Write MCP, a major update to its free MCP server that lets customers’ own AI agents make changes in the general ledger, not just read from it. Write MCP is built on Digits’ new Locked Periods, so agents can do accounting work while the books a firm has already closed stay protected.
