Purpose-built sub-ledger
The books for NIL and revenue share, kept the way your auditors expect.
RosterBooks turns athlete contracts into ready-to-post journal entries and payment schedules for athletic departments and collectives.
Become a design partnerThe problem
Revenue share and NIL put athlete pay on the books, but the tools built for it track payments, not accounting. Finance teams fill the gap with spreadsheets, separate subledgers and manual CSV exports, and rebuild journal entries and payment schedules by hand every close.
What RosterBooks is designed to do
Journal entries, ready to post
Turn every NIL and revenue-share contract into double-entry debits and credits, mapped to your chart of accounts and following the reporting framework your organization uses.
Payment and amortization schedules
Turn monthly retainers, milestones and deliverables into dated schedules, with flags and reassessment reminders for the contingencies that gate a payment.
Exports your GL can import
Export entries as CSV or Excel in a general-ledger import format, ready to load into the system you already close the books in.
RosterBooks is the accounting layer. It doesn't move money; it keeps the books for what your payment tools pay out. It follows each organization's own reporting framework: GASB for public universities, FASB for collectives and private schools. Support for universities under GASB comes first, with collectives to follow.
Who it's for
Athletic departments
Book revenue-share obligations as accrued liabilities with the schedules behind them, instead of rebuilding them from a payment log every month.
NIL collectives
Keep contractor expense, payables and athlete contracts in one ledger, separate from the payout platform that moves the money.
Your ledger stays yours
RosterBooks is designed so that every institution works in its own walled-off ledger. A school never sees a collective's books, and a collective never sees a school's.
Become a design partner
We're working with a small group of athletic departments and collectives to shape RosterBooks around real contracts and real closes. Design partners get early access and a direct line to the team building it.
