Organization Settings
Before processing transactions, complete your Organization Settings in BeeBooks. This ensures everything is configured correctly for your business.
(You’ll typically find Settings under a gear icon beside your Profile icon.)
Where to Find & What to Prepare
- Path: Settings (gear) → Organization Settings
- Have ready: legal name, address, tax ID, logo file, fiscal year start, default currency, team emails/roles, and your chart of accounts structure.
Organization Profile
Configure your company identity and defaults:
- Legal Name & Address
- Tax ID and contact details
- Fiscal Year Start Date
- Default Currency
- Logo (prints on invoices, quotes, receipts)
Users & Roles
Control access and responsibilities:
- Add Team Members and create user accounts
- Assign Roles/Permissions (e.g., Sales, Accountant, Admin)
- Ensure only the right people can view/modify financial data
Chart of Accounts
Set up your accounting backbone:
- Verify key accounts exist: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Expenses, etc.
- Customize or add accounts as needed
- Consider reviewing with your accountant for accuracy
Setup Checklist
Work through each item before entering live transactions:
- Organization Profile completed
- Tax & Compliance details confirmed
- Users & Roles assigned
- Chart of Accounts verified
- Any other system checklist items (profile, tax, users, etc.) done
Example guidance: Many systems (e.g., Zoho Books) recommend using the Settings tab to complete a full organization setup after the initial quick start.
