Onboarding Steps
Watch for a portal invite.
This is where all communication will take place
To expedite your onboarding we will have action steps for you to complete. Items such as providing QBO Accountant access, bank access, and documents we need.
Eager to get started?
You may be ready to get going before we get you set up in the portal. If this is you download our checklist and/or walk through the steps below to gather the information we'll be looking for to get started.
Grant us QuickBooks Online Accountant Access
Unless we are setting up QBO for you
Sign in to QuickBooks Online as a primary admin.
Select Settings ⚙, then select Manage users.
Select the Accountants or Accounting firms tab.
Enter your accountant’s email address, then select Invite.
Please use [email protected]
Set Up Bank Access
Be sure to give us any user names you set up for us
Set up accountant read only bank access for Bank statements for all business checking, savings, credit card and loan accounts
Most of our clients choose this method as it's easier for us to access the information we need. Many banks also allow you to setup Read-Only access for accountants and bookkeepers.
If you are unable to grant us accountant access please upload PDF statements to the client portal.
Please use [email protected] when granting us access.
