To get started, your first transfer should be recorded as a private transfer. This ensures everything is tracked correctly in your Accountable account from the very beginning.
Open your Accountable app.
Select the first transfer
Choose "Mark as personal" as the type.
This first step helps your account stay organized and ensures your future invoices and payments are correctly matched. 💡
If you already have linked an external bank account to Accountable (like your personal bank account), here’s what we recommend:
⚠️ Keep the external account linked – don’t remove it. If you do, this could cause your past transactions to become unlinked from the invoices and expenses.
You can use both accounts at the same time:
Accountable for your business payments
Your external bank for other personal or certain business operations
This way, you get the flexibility of managing multiple accounts while keeping all business transactions visible and reconciled in Accountable. 🔗
Create your free virtual card for upcoming business expenses, scan your receipt, and the expense and transaction will be linked automatically. The amount to set aside will be updated, keeping you on top of your taxes at all times!
When issuing your next invoice, add your new Accountable IBAN so it automatically matches with your incoming payments
By following these steps, you’ll start building a clear and organized financial overview from day one, all in one place. 🚀
If you have questions about your first transfers, linked accounts, or anything else, reach out to our Support Team. We’re happy to help you get started! 💜

This is an amazing application with great support on issues. In short as in day I am addicted to it (in a positive way). I myself is from IT project management and the way they have captured the user requirement, it’s phenomenal.

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

In the world where everyone seems to be out to get small entrepreneurs and overwhelm them with new rules, more taxes and reporting obligations, Accountable often feels like the one steady partner that actually wants you to succeed, providing quick, clear and personalised support. Thank you!

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
