Accountants and bookkeepers can provide Hurdlr to their clients by creating an Accountant Dashboard. Hurdlr’s Accountant Dashboard makes it easy to provide your clients with a Hurdlr Pro subscription so they can track all of their mileage and finances in one place.

Once you’ve added your clients to your dashboard, you can log into any of their accounts directly from the dashboard, without having to keep track of separate logins per user.

To Create your Accountant Dashboard

  1. Navigate to the Accountant Sign Up page

  2. Enter your email address that you want associated with this Dashboard (Note: This cannot be the same email as an existing Hurdlr account)

  3. Type in your Business Name

  4. Click ‘Create an Account’

To Add Your Payment Method for Monthly Billing

  1. Once you’ve created your account, click on your email in the top right corner

  2. Click the ‘Add’ button next to ‘Payment Information’

  3. Enter your payment details

  4. Click ‘Update Card Details’

To Create Hurdlr Accounts for your Clients

After adding your payment method, you can start adding users, which will create their account and send them an invitation to log into their Hurdlr account.

  1. Click the orange ‘+Add User’ button

  2. Enter your client’s name and email address

  3. If desired, enter your client’s business type and business name

The Business Type and Business Name field will default to ‘Other’ and ‘My Business’ respectively, but you can customize this for your clients if you’d like. Otherwise, they’ll be able to customize this once they log in.

4. Click 'Save Details'

After clicking the ‘Save Details’ button, your member will be listed in your dashboard, and (they will receive an email with their login information to log into the Hurdlr account that you created for them.

If one of your clients has an existing Hurdlr account, they’ll receive a notification to grant you access to their account. You will not have access to their reports or account until they grant you access.

Reconciling a Client’s Account

Reconciliation is an ‘Accountant Only’ feature that allows accountants to ensure that their client’s transactions tracked in Hurdlr match their bank and credit card statements.

To Reconcile your Client’s Bank/Credit Card Account

  1. Click the ‘Action’ button next to your client’s name in the Accountant Dashboard and select ‘Reconcile’ from the drop-down menu

  3. Select which of your client’s linked accounts you’d like to reconcile

  4. Select the timeframe you’d like to reconcile

  5. The beginning balance will populate automatically based on the beginning balance/balance as of the begin date (if this is the first time that you’re reconciling this particular bank account or credit card, you can edit the beginning balance field to set the starting balance for that account)

  6. Set the end balance based on your client’s account balance as of the end date

  7. Click the ‘Next’ button

  8. Go through the list of transactions from that account for the selected timeframe and categorize them accordingly (if your client has already categorized transactions, you’ll see those categorizations reflected, you can click on them and make changes as needed)

  9. Once you’ve categorized all of the transactions, you’ll see the ending balance and Hurdlr’s balance match, where $0 is remaining to be reconciled

  10. To finish the reconciliation and save the transaction categorizations, click the ‘Save’ button

  11. After saving a balanced reconciliation, it will be displayed in the Historical section as ‘Completed’

If the reconciliation is not balanced and you click the ‘Save’ button, it will save your changes and show the reconciliation as ‘In Progress’. You can go back and complete it at any time. To access a list of both your ‘Completed’ and ‘In Progress'’ reconciliations, click Reconciliation on the left side of the screen and select Historical. Click on an ‘In Progress’ reconciliation to make edits or complete it.
