fiscal50 Bookkeeper Workspace

Bookkeeping software for bookkeepers: every client in one login.

fiscal50 is bookkeeping software for bookkeepers and accounting firms: each client’s books live in fiscal50, and you run every client from one Bookkeeper Workspace login. The Workspace is free to start and shows every client’s bank feeds, Banks to Books backlog, reconciliations and month-end status on one dashboard, so you can close the month for every client with reviewer sign-off and open any client’s books in one click.

  • Connect is free, no card needed
  • Two-step sign-in on every account
  • Your clients stay in control

One login, every client company

Can one bookkeeper login manage many client companies?

Yes. One Bookkeeper Workspace login lists every client company you keep books for, whichever way the client pays. Log in opens that client’s own fiscal50 in a new tab without a shared password, and every opening is recorded.

  • My clients: every company with its arrangement, subscription, bookkeeping and bank-feed state, health and next action
  • Licenses: buy fiscal50 licenses at partner prices (15% to 30% off retail), add the client and see use and expiries in Licenses and plan
  • Access the client controls: Full access, Standard or View only, and the client can end access at any time
  • Seats for your team: Connect has 1 seat (the owner), Practice up to 4 and Firm up to 11; each person sees the clients their role allows
  • Your own books: link your firm’s company and open it from My books

Three ways to work with clients

Who pays fiscal50 for each client?

Your plan covers the workspace. The arrangement only decides who pays fiscal50 for that client, and you can mix all three.

License partner

You buy the client’s license

Buy fiscal50 licenses in the Workspace at partner prices, 15% to 30% off retail. Add the client with basic details; fiscal50 creates the company and the plan follows the license. Bill your client however you like.

Who pays fiscal50
You, at partner prices
Client pays directly

The client pays fiscal50

Add the client the same way. The client verifies and pays fiscal50 at retail, and you stay on as their bookkeeper, earning a 20% revenue share for 12 months through the partner program.

The client invites you

A business already on fiscal50 enters your connect code under My bookkeeper, or approves your access request, and chooses the access level. Free on Connect.

One dashboard for every client

Which client needs you today?

Bank feeds, Banks to Books backlog, reconciliations, approvals and a health score with reasons, for every client, read straight from fiscal50.

One workflow for every client

What does a standard monthly workflow look like for each client?

The same four stages run for every client, so anyone on the team can pick up any client. The work happens in the client’s fiscal50, and the Workspace shows where each client stands.

  1. Onboard

    A checklist for the client’s source system covers agreement, setup, data, opening balances and banks. For QuickBooks clients, the configuration agent imports the chart of accounts and trial balance and checks that debits equal credits before you approve the import.

    QuickBooks migration
  2. Categorize with AI recommendations

    Bank and card transactions arrive in Banks to Books. AI pre-selects a recommendation for each one with a reason, a confidence percentage and the evidence, and nothing posts until you click Post. Rules you approve in client AI memory apply to that client only.

    How Banks to Books works
  3. Reconcile

    Reconcile every bank, card and loan account period by period. On fiscal50 Business and Business Pro, auto-reconciliation checks the predicted ending balance against the bank and clears matching transactions, stopping where a period needs you. The Workspace flags anything posted or deleted after reconciliation.

    Bank reconciliation
  4. Close the month

    On Practice and Firm, the close board checks that Banks to Books is empty, accounts are reconciled and approvals are cleared, and a second person signs off. fiscal50 then locks the month so nothing dated in it can change.

    Month-end close checklist

Month-end for every client

How do you close the books for every client, checked against fiscal50?

Start the month for all clients in one click. Checks tick themselves from fiscal50 data, a reviewer signs off, and the client gets a close package.

  • Starts itselfOpen the month for every client at once from your checklist templates.
  • Checks itselfEach step ticks from fiscal50 data, so nobody marks a reconciliation done by hand.
  • Four-eyes reviewNo approving your own close; reopening keeps an audit trail.
  • Client-readyThe close package goes to the client through the portal.

AI across your portfolio

Can AI answer questions across all my clients?

The AI practice assistant answers from your firm’s own records, shows the evidence per client, and turns the answer into tasks or document requests. It only searches the clients you are allowed to see.

Fifty is here too. The same Fifty as in fiscal50 sits on every Workspace page. Ask it how to do anything in fiscal50; bookkeeper analyses across your clients are rolling out.

Easy migration and onboarding

How do you onboard a client from QuickBooks, Xero or spreadsheets?

Each new client gets an onboarding checklist for their source system: agreement, setup, data, opening balances, banks, review and client steps. Steps tick themselves where fiscal50 shows them done.

Client collaboration

How do clients send receipts and statements?

Ask a client for receipts, statements or answers. They upload through a secure portal with an e-mailed code, no login to remember, and reminders go out on their own. Client requests and the portal come with Practice and Firm.

Grow and run the practice

Can I win, serve and bill clients from the same login?

On Firm, win clients in the CRM, package your services, track time and bill clients from the same login. Every plan can list the firm in the public directory.

FAQ

Questions from bookkeepers

Compare options on fiscal50 vs QuickBooks Online Accountant.

Which software helps a bookkeeper close the books for multiple clients faster?

The fiscal50 Bookkeeper Workspace puts every client’s month-end on one close board. On Practice and Firm you start the month for all clients in one click, the checks (Banks to Books empty, accounts reconciled, nothing posted after reconciliation, approvals cleared) tick themselves from fiscal50 data, and a second person signs off before the client gets a close package. fiscal50 then locks the closed month.

Can I manage multiple client companies with one bookkeeper login?

Yes. Every client company appears in My clients under one Workspace login, and Log in opens that client’s own fiscal50 in a new tab without a shared password. You can buy the client’s license at partner prices, let the client pay fiscal50 directly, or connect to a business already on fiscal50 with your connect code.

How does AI categorization work for client bank transactions?

In each client’s Banks to Books, AI pre-selects a recommendation for every bank and card transaction with a reason, a confidence percentage and the evidence. You review each one and click Post. Nothing posts on its own, and each posted transaction is a balanced double-entry journal entry.

Is fiscal50 an alternative to QuickBooks Online Accountant?

For clients whose books move to fiscal50, yes. The Bookkeeper Workspace gives you a multi-client dashboard, a cross-client work queue and a month-end close board, and the configuration agent imports a QuickBooks Online or Desktop chart of accounts and trial balance during setup. Transaction history is not migrated.

Is the Bookkeeper Workspace free?

Yes. Connect is free forever, with 1 seat (the owner), for firms whose clients pay for fiscal50 or invite them. Practice ($15.50 a month) adds month-end close, client document requests, reports with export and AI tools; Firm ($49.50 a month) adds CRM, time tracking, firm billing, team permissions and white-label.

How do team seats work?

A seat is anyone who signs in to your workspace, the owner included. Connect: 1 seat (the owner). Practice: up to 4 seats, the owner + 3 team members. Firm: up to 11 seats, the owner + 10 team members; for more, contact fiscal50 at support@fiscal50.com. Clients never use a seat.

Should I pay monthly or yearly?

Yearly billing costs 10% less on Practice and Firm. Yearly client licenses also use the lower yearly fiscal50 price before your partner discount. Monthly suits you while your client list is still changing.

Do my clients need fiscal50?

Yes, the books live in fiscal50. You can buy their license at partner prices, let them pay fiscal50 directly, or connect to a business already on fiscal50 with your connect code.

How do I open a client’s books?

Press Log in next to the client. Their fiscal50 opens in a new tab without a shared password, and every opening is recorded.

Can a client remove me?

Yes, at any time, from My bookkeeper in fiscal50. It takes effect immediately.

Can my staff see every client?

Only if their role allows it. Otherwise they see the clients assigned to them.

How much do client licenses cost?

Partner prices are the retail price less 15% to 30%, depending on how many licenses you hold in total.

What is the partner program?

A 20% revenue share for 12 months on companies you refer or set up that pay fiscal50 themselves, or 25% as a Gold partner with 10 or more active clients. Payouts go through Stripe Connect.

Is there a contract?

No. Monthly or yearly plans, cancel any time.

How do I move a client from QuickBooks or another system?

Each new client gets an onboarding checklist for where they come from (QuickBooks Online or Desktop, Xero, Wave, FreshBooks, Zoho, Sage, spreadsheets or a new business). Inside fiscal50, the configuration agent imports the QuickBooks chart of accounts and trial balance.

Can I keep my own firm’s books here?

Yes. Link your own company and open it from My books.

Is my data secure?

Two-step sign-in on every account, a 30-minute idle sign-out, single-use recorded links to open client books, read-only access to fiscal50 data, and access levels the client controls.

Run your whole practice from one login.

Connect is free. Add your first client and open their books today.
