A second location is not a second login.
Fifteen companies used to cost fifteen page loads to answer one question: is anything wrong anywhere. That turns the headline number on a price card into a chore. The group screen answers it once.
One screen, and one total it refuses to invent.
Income, expenses, net, VAT, transaction count, overdue invoices and last activity, per company, for the period you pick. Where the currencies differ, two totals instead of one wrong one.
All companies
07 / 2026A group screen is exactly where adding krone to euro stops being a theoretical problem. The totals are grouped by currency and the screen says out loud that the period was mixed. One wrong total on a management screen is worse than no total at all.
The attention column is not filtered by the period, on purpose. A receipt stuck since two months ago is the one most likely to be forgotten, and a period filter would hide precisely that row.
Last activity is there so a company that has gone quiet reads as quiet, rather than as a row of zeros that looks identical to a company with nothing to report.
Cut the same books by branch, project or van.
A second company is a legal decision. A second branch usually is not, so it should not need one.
Cost centres as a dimension
Tag a transaction with a cost centre and the profit and loss filters by it, on screen and in the PDF. The same books, cut the way you actually manage them: per restaurant, per site, per project.
A monthly budget that warns
Give a cost centre a monthly budget and overspending is flagged rather than blocked. Leaving the field empty clears the budget rather than setting it to zero, because a budget of zero would flag every euro as an overspend.
Permissions for the people who are not the owner.
A manager who sees the till but not the payroll, an assistant who can upload but not book. The role presets get you most of the way and the overrides get you the rest.
Per-area overrides
Start from a role preset and change one area at a time. The preset stays the default, so a new person is safe before you have thought about them.
Expenses that wait for a yes
An expense submitted by a member waits for an approver before it books. Nothing enters the ledger merely because somebody photographed a receipt.
A clock-in point per door
Business Pro runs one time-clock site. Business Max runs as many as you have doors, which is the difference between a business and a business with branches.
15
companies on one account, all of them on the group screen.
Pooled
Receipts and vault storage are pooled across every company you own, so opening a second one does not double what you get.
6 years
of activity log, which is how long the Bookkeeping Act keeps books.
Three limits worth knowing before you count on it.
It is not consolidated accounts. There is no elimination of inter-company transactions and no group financial statement. This is a management view over several sets of books, and it never pretends to be one set.
It is a view, not an editor. You read the group screen and click into the company you need. Nothing is booked from here, because a change made without knowing which company you are in is the kind of mistake that takes a week to find.
Dropping to a smaller plan hides screens, never data. Cost centres you created stay on their transactions and the reports keep them; you simply stop seeing the management screen until you come back.
The same holds for every capability on this page. A plan gate exists to hide a screen, not to delete what the screen wrote.
Before the second company.
Do I need Business Max for a second company?
No. Business Pro runs five. Business Max runs fifteen and adds the group screen, the cost centres and the unlimited clock-in points, which is what changes when the companies stop being a side project.
Can each company have its own currency?
Yes, and that is exactly the case the group totals were built for. Each company keeps its own base currency, and the screen never adds two of them together.
Does my accountant see all of them?
They see the companies you connect them to, each as its own client, and they get their own board across every client they work with. The group screen is yours.
Can a cost centre span two companies?
No. A cost centre belongs to one company’s books because a transaction belongs to one company’s books. To compare branches across two legal entities, read them side by side on the group screen.
Open the second one without opening a second account.
Every company on one screen, every branch on its own line, and one total per currency.
