Move your books over

The short path from a new login to a bank, a client list, and an invoice that sends itself.

Walkthrough 1 of 5

Open the business company

The sidebar switcher has your business and your free Personal account. Personal is household spending. Connect business banks and clients on the business, so that money stays off the household books.

  1. Step 1

    Open the business company

    The sidebar switcher has your business and your free Personal account. Personal is household spending. Connect business banks and clients on the business, so that money stays off the household books.

  2. Step 2

    Connect the bank

    Go to Bank Accounts and click Connect account. Sign in at the bank inside the Plaid window. Pick the checking account and cards that belong to this company. Boss Bookkeeping does not see that bank password.

  3. Step 3

    Bring in clients

    Go to Clients and click Import. Upload the spreadsheet, or a PDF or photo of the list. Match Name, and map Property to Address and Cost to Monthly fee if those columns are not named that way.

  4. Step 4

    Set the repeating invoice

    Go to Invoices, then New Invoice. Pick the client, turn on Auto invoice, and choose the next send date. Save. That invoice stays the template. On the date you picked, a new invoice goes to both email addresses.

  5. Step 5

    Ask the bookkeeper when you get stuck

    Open AI Bookkeeper and ask in plain language: categorize these, show profit and loss, create an invoice, or combine duplicate clients. Category Scan on Transactions suggests categories for charges that are still blank.

Open this in your books after you sign in.
