The 'Getting Started' process is the first stage of setting up your company's Tradify account. You will enter a few details about your company and set up important features of the account. After completing this process, you will be ready to begin creating Quotes, Jobs, Invoices and more.

Step 1: Company Info

Enter the total number of staff who work for your company. This helps us understand which Tradify  features are likely to be important to you, as well as how you might use the system for your business.

Step 2: Accounting Package

This step is for those who wish to integrate Tradify with your online accounting package. Tradify can connect with Xero, MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Essentials and Quickbooks Online.

If you use an online accounting package for your business, click the option which applies to you. After selecting the accounting system you use, you then have the option to integrate Tradify with it.

This step can be skipped until later if you'd like to continue without integrating. For more details on linking Tradify with your accounting package, check out these guides: Accounting Integrations
