Accounting for clients
Work in your clients’ books without taking them over
A practice can work in a client's books after the owner accepts the relationship. The link stays visible, and the company keeps its own owner.
- 01
An invitation the owner accepts
The practice invites the company, and its owner decides whether to accept. Practice staff then work through the practice account rather than separate staff accounts at every client.
- 02
Several clients from one place
Work through your practice account across the client companies linked to it. Each company keeps its own books and owner, while practice staff use their practice access to move between client work.
- 03
The accounting work
Practice staff can work with the ledger and trial balance, prepare VAT returns with the reconciliation expected by the FTA, and produce IFRS for SMEs statements and the corporate tax computation based on them. Kept is software; it does not supply an accountant.
- 04
The records an accountant needs
Open the full trial balance, general ledger and the record of who changed what. You can export records organised for audit. Accountant exports include the trial balance, general ledger and ageing reports.
- 05
Open items and bank
Enter opening balances with unpaid invoices and bills as individual open items. Import bank statements and match payments against those items.
- 06
A record that remains
Export records organised for audit. Practice staff can post entries, prepare returns for filing and close periods; they file the returns themselves. The name of the person who posted each entry stays in the client's books even if the relationship ends.
