What You Can Do

  1. If no clients have been added, the client list area shows 'No clients yet — Invite an advisory client or add a bookkeeping client.'
  2. Click '+ Bookkeeping client' to add your first managed bookkeeping client.
  3. Click '+ Invite Advisory Client' to send an invitation to an advisory client.
  4. After adding clients, they will appear in the list and the metric cards will start showing data.
