Vendors & customers

Vendors it pays, customers it bills, staff it employs — and who needs a 1099.

42 seconds, with voice and captions. The company on screen is a demo with invented books.

The steps

  1. “Find names in my books” reads the names already on the ledger and proposes a record for each. Nothing is created until you accept it.
  2. Set each name as a Vendor, a Customer, Staff — or more than one.
  3. Tick “1099 vendor” for the vendors you must send a 1099 to.
  4. “W-9…” opens the vendor's tax form: legal name, address, tax ID. The tax ID is stored encrypted.
  5. “Add name” creates one by hand. “Edit” changes its contact details.
