What is an entity?

Understand how entities work for your Bookkeep account

Bookkeep™ allows accounting professionals to manage multiple entities with a single login.  Our system classifies your accounting practice or corporation as a “Company”.  Within this Company, you may manage several businesses.  These individual businesses are what we consider your “entities”.

Once the appropriate revenue apps and accounting platforms are hooked up to your entity, you'll be able to start automating your business via Bookkeep™!
