Several companies, one login
Multiple companies
fiscal50's Companies module lets the main user of an account add other businesses to the same login, each with its own books, address and subscription on the main company's plan and billing cycle. You add a company from Settings › Companies with its name and United States address, see the price, any multi-company discount, the sales tax and the amount charged today, and pay with the saved card or a new one. The switch-company icon in the top bar then moves you between companies, and sub users get the same access in a new company as in the main one. Added companies can later be cancelled, deactivated, reactivated or removed from their cards on the Companies screen.

Every business on one login
Each company keeps its own books, address and subscription. Switch from the top bar without logging out.

What multiple companies in fiscal50 does for you
With Companies, one fiscal50 login runs more than one business: each added company has its own books, address and subscription, and you switch between them from the top bar without logging out.
One login, several sets of books
Every company you add gets its own books, its own address and its own subscription. After you switch, everything you open — transactions, reports and settings — belongs to that company.
Switch from the top bar
The switch-company icon next to the fiscal year lists your companies, the current one in bold with a tick. Each browser tab works in one company, and a tab left behind shows "You switched company in another tab" with a button to reload it.
Clear price before you pay
The Subscription for this company panel shows the plan, any multi-company discount, the sales tax for the new address and Charged today, with the renewal amount underneath. The total is worked out again when you pay, and a changed total must be confirmed.
Saved card or a new card
Pay with the card saved for your main company, or use a new card for that company's subscription only. The secure card form is drawn by the card processor, so fiscal50 never sees the card number.
Guided setup for each new company
After the payment the new company opens on its configuration screen — business type, industry and fiscal year. Until it is finished, it carries a Setup pending badge and a Finish setup button.
Cancel, deactivate, reactivate or remove
Cancel subscription keeps a company open until the paid-through date; Deactivate closes it at once and keeps the books; Reactivate is free until the paid-through date; Remove is final and needs REMOVE typed.
Sub users carry over
Sub users you have when you add a company get the same access in it as in your main company, and a sub user who can open two or more companies switches between them the same way you do.
How it works
How it works in fiscal50
Open the Companies screen
Log in with the main user of the account, click Settings in the main menu, then click Companies.
Enter the name and address
Click + Add Company, type the Company name (2 to 60 characters), start typing the street in Address line 1 and pick the suggestion; check City, State and ZIP.
Check the price panel
Read the plan, any multi-company discount, the sales tax for the new address and Charged today, with the renewal amount underneath.
Pay
Keep the saved card and click Pay and add company, or choose Use a new card and click Continue to card payment. Wait for "Company added".
Finish the setup
The new company opens on its configuration screen: complete the business type, industry and fiscal year so it is ready to use.
In your books
Each company has its own books. Adding, switching or deactivating a company posts nothing to any of them.
FAQ
Multiple companies: common questions
Can an added company be on a different plan or billing cycle?
No. Every added company is on the same plan and billing cycle as your main company.
Why is the sales tax different from my main company's?
The tax is worked out for the address of the new company, not for the address of your main company.
Can my sub users switch companies?
Yes, between the companies they have access to, using the switch-company icon. They cannot add or manage companies.
What is the difference between Cancel subscription and Deactivate?
Cancel keeps the company open until the end of the paid period and then closes it. Deactivate closes it right away. Neither refunds anything, and both can be undone until the paid-through date.
What does reactivating cost?
Nothing before the paid-through date. After it, or for an Ended company, a new subscription is started at the plan price plus tax, charged to the main company's saved card, and the amount is shown before you confirm.
Can a bookkeeper add or manage companies?
No. The Companies module isn't available in a bookkeeper session; the business owner adds and manages companies from their own login.
