Every client’s books, kept by your firm in one place
Add the accounting service to a client and set up its books: a chart of accounts is applied so statement lines can be coded straight away, and your firm keeps the books under a managed-books appointment. Switch between clients’ books in the same tab.
Who uses it
- Partner
- Bookkeeper
- Accountant
What it does
- Set up books for the client — the client’s own ledger on Achekam, kept by your firm; nothing is posted in your firm’s own books.
- Books settings: the business, chart of accounts, starter items, VAT, bank account, opening balances and lock date.
- Opening balances from the trial balance, customers who owe and suppliers owed, with the difference credited to opening balance equity.
- A books home per client: bank lines to reconcile, invoices owed, bills to pay, cash over twelve weeks, the VAT position and profit this month.
- Who pays: your firm pays for the client’s books, or the client moves to its own subscription with its own login — the books stay as they are.
How it works
- Add the accounting service.
- Set up the books.
- Work through the seven settings.
- Post the opening balances.
The controls that protect it
- The client chooses what your firm may do in its books and can end the appointment at any time.
- Every change your firm makes carries its name.
What it does not do (yet)
- Year-end financial statements are a separate package.
