Adding & Removing Entities
Adding an entity
There are two ways to add an entity:
From the Clients tab:
- Navigate to the client and click the options menu (⋯).
- Click Add entity.
- Fill out the entity profile (name, entity type) and click Create entity.
From within the client's workspace:
- Go to the Accounts tab.
- Click Add Entity in the top right.
Kick generates a standard (but completely customizable → see Chart of Accounts) chart of accounts for the new entity based on the entity type you select.
{% hint style="info" %} Tip: The bookkeeping start date you set during entity creation controls when transaction data begins syncing for connected accounts. This can be updated later from the Clients tab. {% endhint %}
Removing an entity
Deleting an entity permanently removes all associated data. Take this action with caution.
- Go to the Clients tab.
- Hover over the entity and click the options menu (⋯).
- Click Delete entity.
Not all roles can delete entities. See Permissions for more.
