Before opening a shared file
Make sure the file is closed on every other computer, and that the cloud drive shows it fully synced. Dropbox shows a green tick next to the file name.
If a conflicted copy appears
Dropbox saves it alongside the original with "conflicted copy" and a name in the file name. Open both, work out which has the entries you need, and re-enter the missing ones in one file before deleting the other.
Keep a backup
Back up the file before merging, so nothing is lost if you pick the wrong one.
Working on one client together
In Accountin each client's books are held online, so a bookkeeper can reconcile the bank while you prepare the VAT return for the same client, and there is one set of figures.
The founding offer for practices on the waiting list
- The price stays at £175 a year for the first user and £90 a year for each extra user, plus VAT, for as long as you stay with Accountin.
- We move your clients across from VT, BTCSoftware or Taxfiler for you.
- Accountin Plus free for your first year. Plus is coming soon, at £49 a month per practice, plus VAT.
The offer is for practices that join the waiting list before Accountin opens. Accountin opens to the waiting list first, in the order practices joined, with 30 days free. We have not set an opening date.
