What the best way to share your Reckon One book?

You can work together with other people, like your accountant, bookkeeper, or your staff, by simply sharing a book in Reckon One.

However we've found that many users are still unsure on how to share their Reckon One book with another user. Even when it's shared, we still experience issues like limited access or inability to access Reckon Payroll. It happens sometimes whether you work as an accountant, bookkeeper, or sometime business owners who wanted access to the Reckon One book or Reckon Payroll.

Some pointers to assist you in successfully sharing your book

  1. Create a Reckon Account: Ensure that the person you’re sharing the book with has their own Reckon account. Its free to create an account here on the Reckon Customer Portal.
  2. Access Permissions: Select the degree of access you wish to allow. You can assign users varying roles in Reckon One, allowing them to have either full access or restricted access according to their role. Check out our help article HERE for detailed info.
  3. Type of user. The user who needs access is a user like bookkeeper, accountant or a Reckon Partner.
