Pick your country, currency and financial year at sign-up, and the chart of accounts is built to match.
Running your books in Global
There is very little to set up here, and we would rather tell you that than invent an obligation to sell against. The software earns its place on how well it runs your business.
Rates and obligations on this page were last reviewed on 21 August 2026. They are given for orientation, not as tax advice — check the current position with the authority or your accountant before you rely on it.
What that means for a business in Global
Define any tax rate or tax group you need — nothing is hard-coded to one country's rules.
Trial balance, profit and loss and balance sheet your accountant can work from anywhere in the world.
Set it up once, then just run the business
Without a filing platform to connect to, setup is your company, your accounts and your opening balances. Most businesses are invoicing the same afternoon they sign up.
- Nothing to certify, nothing to register, nobody to wait for
- If the rules change, tax rates are a setting — not a new product to buy
- Real double-entry underneath, so a bank or an auditor gets statements that hold up
What the first hour looks like
Four steps, in this order, and you are working. Choosing Global at sign-up fills in most of them for you.
- Your company Name, address and financial year. Choosing Global sets USD as your base currency and picks the right time zone, so your first day's dates are already correct.
- Your tax codes Nothing to do — there is no VAT or sales tax to configure. If you ever need one, adding a rate takes a minute.
- Your chart of accounts A standard chart is created for you. Rename it, extend it or import your accountant's own — nothing here is locked.
- Your opening balances Customers, suppliers, bank balances and stock on hand, entered or imported from a spreadsheet. After that you are simply working.
