๐Ÿ’ซ How to switch to Accountable from another software

Youโ€™re using another accounting tool and want to switch to Accountable?
โ€‹

Great choice! ๐ŸŽ‰ The good news: switching is simple.

Hereโ€™s your step-by-step guide to make the move smooth and stress-free.


๐Ÿ“… 1. Choose your start date

First, decide from which year you want to start using Accountable.


Any year from 2020 onward works perfectly. Once decided, you can set your start year in the Tax settings - for example, 2024 if you want to prepare your 2024 tax return with Accountable.

๐Ÿ“ค 2. Export your previous data

Next, export your data from your current software.


Ideally, download your invoices and expenses as individual PDF files.

๐Ÿ‘‰ You only need the data for the tax year you want to manage with Accountable.
If you plan to file your 2024 tax declaration, just import your data for 2024 and the current year.

๐Ÿ“ฅ 3. Import your data into Accountable

You can bring your data into Accountable in several easy ways:

๐Ÿ”น Via drag & drop in the web version

๐Ÿ’ก You can drag and drop unlimited individual files into the area. Bulk import is the fastest way to upload all your invoices at once. You just need to review and confirm them afterwards.

  • Go to the Revenue page and click โ€œImport invoiceโ€.

  • Drag your invoices into the upload field and review them.

  • To import receipts (expenses), go to the Expenses page and drag them into the upload area.

๐Ÿ”น Via Email

You can also simply forward your invoices and receipts separately by email:

Accountable will automatically create revenue and expense entries from your attachments - you just need to review and confirm them.

๐Ÿ“Œ Important:

  • Send the emails from the same email address you use for your Accountable account.

  • If you want to use a different address, you can add it as an alias under
    โ€‹Settings โ†’ Personal details โ†’ Email alias.

  • Make sure to send invoices and receipts separately in PDF, JPG, or PNG format.

๐Ÿ”น Manually

Prefer to add your data manually? No problem!

  • On the Revenue page, click โ€œ+ Create invoiceโ€

  • On the Expenses page, click "Upload new expense" (top right)

๐Ÿ”— 4. Use GetMyInvoices as an external interface

If you have a lot of data or use several tools, you can connect GetMyInvoices as an external interface.

  • Link your previous accounting software to GetMyInvoices

  • Allow it to send all your documents there

  • Then connect Accountable, and your documents will transfer automatically

๐Ÿ’ก Final Tip

Take a moment to review your imported data, after that, youโ€™re ready to go!


Accountable will handle your bookkeeping, EรœR (profit and loss statement), Trade tax, VAT, and income tax smoothly so you can focus on what matters

most: your business. ๐Ÿš€

They always answer right away to any question I have, they provide clear answers, and they are very patient even when I struggle to understand. They try to explain in different ways. They are very helpful, responsive and friendly.

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!

UI is great. Feature packed and very easy to use. The team at Accountable were VERY quick to respond and their team of technicians soon had a fix in place. Very happy with the level of service so far. Thumbs up from me!

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

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable.

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.

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.
