Sign up, sign in, switch company

Purpose

  • Create a KinraSoft login, confirm the email, sign in, move between companies, and sign out.
  • The pricing plan (Basic, Plus, Premium, or Accountant) is chosen later, when you create the company.
  • Use a web browser. Google Chrome is the browser KinraSoft names. There is no phone app to install.
  • The Assistant cannot create your login, reset a password, switch company, or sign you out. Use the screens below.

Where to start

  • Trying KinraSoft — site header Free Trial.
  • Ready for a business plan — Pricing, then Sign Up on Basic, Plus, or Premium (Create New Account).
  • An accounting firm — Pricing, then Sign Up on Accountant (Partner Program).
  • Already registered — Sign in. Use Create an account only if this email has no login yet.
  • A staff member or invited accountant does not use these forms. Sign in with the email the owner registered.

Create your own login

  • Open www.kinrasoft.com and choose the page that matches you (see Where to start).
  • Fill Name, Email address, Phone (example +60123388777), Password, and Confirm password.
  • Password needs 8 or more characters with letters, numbers, and symbols. Confirm password must match Password.

  • Free Trial and Create New Account ask for the same person fields.
  • Partner Program also asks for Practice Name, Address, Post Code, City, Country, and Partner Type.
  • Sign-up creates your login. It does not pick the company’s plan.

Confirm the email

  • After Create Account, KinraSoft says the account was created and that a confirmation link was sent.
  • Open the email. It may sit in Primary, Social, Promotions, or Spam.
  • Click the link within 24 hours.
  • The confirmation page says the account has been verified. Go to Sign in.
  • If the link has expired, click Re-Send Link. If the page says the token is not valid, enter your email and click Get New Link.
  • When someone else registered you, the verified page tells you to reset your password before you rely on the one they typed.

Sign in

  • Open Sign in. Enter the email you registered and your password. Click Sign In.
  • The Name you typed is what appears at the top of the side menu after you are in.
  • No company yet — KinraSoft opens Company Setup.
  • Company exists, dates not saved — KinraSoft opens Account Setup (when your role includes it).
  • Both done — KinraSoft opens the dashboard.
  • If KinraSoft emails a one-time password, type that code on the sign-in page. The code expires after 5 minutes. Sign in again if it has expired.

Which company you land in

  • One login can hold many companies. KinraSoft keeps you in one company at a time.
  • Reports, documents, and the Assistant all use that company.
  • You choose Pricing Plan on Company Setup when the company is created. Each company can use a different plan.
  • Company Listing shows Pricing Plan, Create Date, and Expiry Date. A new company is dated to expire one year after it is created.
  • The prices on the public site are per company, per year. Extra companies, and what happens when Expiry Date arrives, are arranged with KinraSoft.
  • The organization owner can open the companies in the firm. Everyone else sees a company in Switch Company only when they belong to a user group on that company and the login is enabled.

Switch Company

  • Stay signed in. Click your name (cog) at the top of the side menu.
  • Click Switch Company.
  • Type the company name in Select Company and choose it.
  • KinraSoft reloads into that company.
  • Cancel closes the box and leaves the current company unchanged.
  • You stay on the same login. Sign out is only for leaving KinraSoft.
  • Create company in the Assistant stores the new company and leaves you in the company you already had. Open Switch Company when you want the new file.
  • Saving a new company on the Company Setup screen does switch you into it and opens Account Setup.

Sign out

  • Click your name (cog), then Log Out.
  • The page says you have been signed out of your account.
  • Click Sign in when you return.
  • Sign out on a shared computer so the next person cannot open your companies.

  • “Please enter Personal Name” / phone / email / password — fill that field. Tick Agree the Terms & Policy on Create Account and on Forgot Password?.
  • “Password does not match!” — type the same password in both boxes.
  • Email already used — Sign in with that email, or use Forgot Password?.
  • No confirmation email — check Promotions and Spam. If the link expired, use Re-Send Link or Get New Link.
  • “Your account is disabled…” — open the confirmation email and click the link, then sign in again.
  • “Invalid Credentials” — check the email and password. Use Forgot Password? if you are unsure.
  • One-time password rejected — it expires after 5 minutes. Sign in again so KinraSoft can send a new code.
  • Sign-in always opens Company Setup — you have no company yet. Finish Company Setup and Save.
  • Sign-in always opens Account Setup — the two dates are not saved. Finish Account Setup.
  • Company missing from Switch Company — it may be disabled, cancelled, or you are not in a user group for it.
