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.

Enter your email address that you want associated with this Dashboard (Note: This cannot be the same email as an existing Hurdlr account)
Type in your Business Name
Click ‘Create an Account’

Once you’ve created your account, click on your email in the top right corner
Click the ‘Add’ button next to ‘Payment Information’

This will log you into your client’s account and take you to the Reconciliation section to start a new reconciliation

Set the end balance based on your client’s account balance as of the end date
Click the ‘Next’ button
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)
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
To finish the reconciliation and save the transaction categorizations, click the ‘Save’ button
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.
