Company settings
Change company settings
You know where each company setting lives and which ones are safe to change after entries exist.
- Who this is for
- Owner or admin.
- Before you start
- Access to Settings & Close.
- Availability
- Team & access, Integrations and Plan & usage appear in the hosted app only; the local build keeps books in the browser and has no team or plan.
Steps
- Open Settings & Close. The sections across the top — Business, Sales & invoices, Accounting, Team & access, Integrations, Plan & usage, Keyboard shortcuts and Data & account — show one group of cards at a time.
- Business holds the Company card: legal name, EIN, Fiscal year begins, Home currency, Reports open on (accrual or cash) and the Business profile, including the footer printed on reports and whether account codes are shown.
- Sales & invoices holds Design your invoice, Sales tax and Invoicing & payments. Accounting holds Period lock, Year-end close and Classes, locations & jobs.
- Team & access holds Team and Your accountant. Integrations holds Connected applications and What the AI costs. Data & account holds Bring in your books, Take your books with you, Your logo and Data.
- Choose Save company after editing the Company card. Other cards save with their own buttons.
What you should see
The change shows on the card and, where it affects reports, on the next report you open.
If it goes wrong
Changing Reports open on does not rewrite the journal; it only sets the default basis a report opens with. Home currency cannot be changed once an entry exists.
