How to read this manual

Are the screens in the manual real?

Yes. Every screen was captured from the running product on a sample workspace, Northbridge Tax Partners (sample). Every name, figure and date on them is sample data, and each caption describes only what is visible.

Which plan does the manual cover?

All of them. Chapters 1 to 3, 6 and 13 apply from Starter upwards; engagements, the client portal, books, provision, transfer pricing and administration are Business plan features; chapter 12 covers the White-label licence.

What does the manual say about unfinished features?

It labels them. E-invoicing, filing readiness and translated answers are marked In development or Preview, accounting connections are Beta, and where a calculation is refused because the rules are not yet certified the manual shows the refusal.

Screens are shown in the theme you are reading in; switch the theme in the header to see the other. Tax figures on the screens are decision support, not tax advice; a professional reviews before anything is filed.
