You'll also get access to an array of other handy invoicing and tax tools that come in the app!

Open banking is a safe, read-only connection. It only takes a couple of minutes and there’s no data entry involved in connecting your bank accounts to Coconut.

Your accountant will only see the accounts you have connected to Coconut. If you have a dedicated account you use for business, connect it to Coconut so your accountant can see your transactions. If you use your personal bank account for some business transactions you can connect it too. They will also be able to see your tax profile information.
