Books supports multiple companies in a single account. Each company has its own chart of accounts, bank accounts, transactions, and reports. You switch between them from the company selector in the top nav.

Why Multi-Company?

Plan Limits

Adding a Company

  1. Click the company selector in the top nav and choose Add Company.

  2. Enter the new company's name, address, tax ID, fiscal year.

  3. Books creates a fresh chart of accounts (travel-agency default) and the new company is empty.

  4. Set up bank accounts, import transactions, etc. — same as your first company.

Switching Between Companies

Click the company name in the top nav → pick the company you want. Books reloads with that company's data — chart of accounts, transactions, reports, everything is scoped to the active company.

Deleting a Company

Deleting a company is permanent. All transactions, reports, attachments, and history for that company are removed. Books requires you to type the company name to confirm. We recommend exporting reports and downloading attachments first.

Transferring Between Companies

Books doesn't natively transfer transactions between companies (this would corrupt one or both companies' books). If you need to move data, export from the source as CSV and import into the destination, then delete from the source.
