Is my accountant really included?

Yes. Accountant access is part of the one plan. Your accountant opens a free firm account and you invite them. They pay nothing for clients who have their own subscription.

How do I try TidyBooks?

Today you start a 7-day trial through Stripe and use the full plan. You are not charged before the trial ends and you can cancel during it. The next release brings a 30-day trial that needs no card.

Can I move my books from Sumly?

Bank statements import as PDF from any bank. For transactions, clients or invoices from another tool, write to us and we will import them with you.
