"Profile" contains the following:



Settings -> General - 

This is a section for completing the firm/company information.


"Practice Type" is used to select Tax Agent, BAS Agent, or Business. Tax and BAS agents MUST enter their agent number.

"Tax Agent declaration" will base on how you set up the "Practice Type". learn more here

This is an IMPORTANT STEP. Failure to complete organisation details will result in a form error. 


Settings -> Contact Details

This is the signatory of the firm.

In case of a tax agent, it is used for tax forms, as the ATO requires an agent's name. , Also, it is  for e-signing forms/Financial Statements by agents.


If you wish NOT to show the "Primary Contact" via "Tax Agent's Declaration" (through tax forms) , just leave "Contact Details" as blank. Learn more here (point B)


Settings -> People

Use this section to store contact details of ie, bank managers and other relevant business contacts. Not your clients.

If you want to build connections use "Relationships"



Settings -> Tax

Use this section to store the bank account (for ATO refund) and company type details. For Tax Agents, adding your bank details will allow you to default bank details to your client forms



Settings -> Depreciation
