Whose name should stay on the books while you look at the screen

The screen is a view. The subscription is the ownership.

Finding 01Your name

Keep the subscription in your name or your company's name. Invite the desk. Do not hand over the only login.

If you leave later, you should still be able to open the file. That question belongs on day one, not on the day you are unhappy.

Finding 02What a screen cannot do

Keeping books on a screen is ordinary work and nobody here holds a CPA license. An audit, a review or a compilation of your statements has to be signed by a firm that holds one, and if a lender has asked for that you'll hear it on the first call rather than after a subscription has started.

A bank feed does not finish a month on its own, whatever the marketing pane implies. Payday runs on a provider that stays in your name. The rest of the limits sit on the disclosures page.
