Finance > Holding Accounts

Managing bank accounts efficiently is crucial for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring smooth financial operations. In WorkBook, bank accounts are managed through the Holding Accounts section, in the Settings module. This guide will walk you through the steps to add and configure a new bank account, ensuring all necessary details are accurately recorded and the account is ready for use.

To setup holding accounts, you need to have access to settings that is set up under employee cross-company access, and be an advanced user with the appropriate access rights.

Please contact your WorkBook administrator if you can’t see this menu. System Administrators have access to this menu by default.
