What Accountable does with the file

• Reads every entry, account and vendor, and rebuilds your chart of accounts and history in a draft. Nothing is in your books until you press Go live.
• Checks every month-end, account by account, against your old tool's own numbers and your bank and card statements. A month ties only when the difference is exactly $0.00.
• Asks you about each month that doesn't tie, one question at a time, with the fix it suggests.
• Lets you undo the whole move for 30 days after you go live.

Good to know

• When your workspace shows a direct Kick connection, Accountable reads the books and brings your Kick rules as drafts: press Turn on N rules after you go live.
• With several Kick entities, Accountable asks Which Kick entity is this company?
