Use the accounting performance dashboard
Use the performance dashboard for a fast financial check before you open detailed reports.
Use the dashboard to spot issues early
Use the dashboard as a manager triage view so problems show up while they are still small enough to fix quickly.
Set up chart of accounts, tax components, and sales channels
Build the accounting base first so sales, payouts, tax, and receivables can post to the right places.
Create, fulfill, receive, and finalize internal transfers
Mark an order as an internal transfer, fulfill it at the source, receive it at the destination, and resolve report warnings before finalizing accounting.
Create your company and first location
Use the public onboarding page to create your workspace, add your first location, and land in the dashboard ready for setup.
Record journals, sales, payouts, and memorized transactions
Choose the right accounting workflow for each entry, keep transactions balanced, and save recurring work as memorized templates.
Connect Square to accounting
Use the Square integration page to connect the service cleanly before you move into mapping, imports, and reconciliation work.
Invite staff and launch staff onboarding
Set onboarding rules, choose default access, add staff from the manager dashboard, and share the public onboarding form with new hires.
Set up accounting document automation
Use automation to reduce manual bookkeeping on repeat documents, but start with a careful review instead of assuming every parse is ready to post.
Read profit and loss, balance sheet, and account transaction reports
Use the core accounting reports together so month-end review stays broad enough to catch real problems without losing detail when you need it.
Use the onboarding checklist and welcome modal
See what the first-login welcome modal does, when to use demo mode, and how the shared company checklist helps your team finish setup.
Map Stripe payouts and fees to the right accounts
Use Stripe mapping to keep payouts, fees, and clearing balances pointed at the right accounts before you import real history.
Import bank activity and review bank feeds
Connect or review the bank feed, inspect one account at a time, and fix bad ledger entries before reconciliation starts.
Reconcile statements and resolve exceptions
Upload the statement first, review the matching results, work the exception queue, and close the session only after the checks pass.
Manage sales channels and review channel balances
Use sales channels to keep online, retail, and wholesale activity separated clearly enough for reporting and cleanup.
Use the daily sales report to review posted revenue
Use the daily sales report to confirm posted totals, spot unusual swings, and know when a deeper accounting review is needed.
Create bank feed rules for auto-match
Use bank-feed rules to reduce repeat matching work, but start with narrow patterns you can trust.
Configure payroll tax setup and reminder rules
Finish the payroll tax profile, add state details, and set reminder rules so filings and deposits do not sneak up on the team.
Search unmatched bank feed items and create transactions
Use the account-level bank feed detail to search unmatched items, match what exists, and create a ledger transaction only when one is still missing.
Manage tax exemptions for customer accounts
Use the tax exemption page to keep customer exemption rules clear before orders and tax reports depend on them.
Review sales-tax reports and resolve unassigned tax
Use the sales-tax report to see what was collected, what is unassigned, and which items need cleanup before filing.
Use analytics feeds for external reporting
Use analytics feeds when another reporting tool needs a clean export path instead of manual spreadsheet work.
Run payroll and choose payout methods
Create a payroll run, review timecards and wages, and choose whether each employee is paid by direct deposit or a manual payout.
Generate forms, record tax payments, and deliver W-2s
Use Tax Center for payroll forms and deposit tracking, then make employee W-2 access part of your year-end routine.
