Getting Started

Welcome to VunaBooks. VunaBooks is an accounting and business management system for keeping your books, recording day-to-day business activity, and understanding how your business is performing.

If you're setting up VunaBooks for the first time, start here.

VunaBooks will take you through creating your account, setting up your business, and choosing how your books should begin.

Create your account

Go to vunabooks.com and select Create account.

Choose Business if you want to use VunaBooks to manage a business. Choose Customer if you only need to view invoices, receipts or payments from businesses that use VunaBooks.

Enter your name, email address and password. You can also continue with Google.

If you're creating a business account, VunaBooks will ask for some information about the business before you create the account.

Tell VunaBooks about your business

Enter your business name and choose the business type that best describes what you do.

Choose the country where the business operates. VunaBooks will suggest an accounting currency based on the country you select. Check the country and currency before you continue.

Depending on the country, VunaBooks may ask for additional business registration information.

Review the details and select Create account.

Verify your email

VunaBooks will send a verification code to the email address you used to sign up.

Enter the code to verify your email.

If the code is no longer valid, request a new one. If you entered the wrong email address, use Change email where that option is available.

After verification, VunaBooks confirms that your account is ready.

Set up your business books

If you created a business account, select Set up your business books.

VunaBooks will ask how the business should start.

New Business

Choose New Business if the business is starting from scratch and has no earlier balances or stock to bring into VunaBooks.

Live Migration

Choose Live Migration if the business already operates and needs to continue trading while existing stock is counted and brought into VunaBooks.

Live Migration is intended for businesses that track inventory. If the business does not track inventory, this option may not be available.

Opening Balances

Choose Opening Balances if the business already exists and its opening financial position and stock are ready to be entered before normal recording begins.

If you're not ready to finish setup

You can skip business setup and return to it later.

VunaBooks will show a reminder on the dashboard so you can continue from where you stopped.

What happens next

The next steps depend on the startup method you choose.

A new business can begin setting up the records it needs for normal operations.

An existing business using Opening Balances will establish its starting financial position before normal recording begins.

An existing inventory business using Live Migration can begin bringing its existing stock into VunaBooks while operations continue.
