Finocket keeps the books for more than one business under a single login. Each company has its own name, GSTIN, country, invoice numbering, stock, reports and books, completely separate from your other companies. Add companies from Settings → Companies, and switch between them from the top of any screen.
How many companies does my plan include?
Solo: 1 company · Starter: 1 company · Growth: up to 3 companies · Business: unlimited. When you add a company on a plan that is already full, the Add company window says so before you save. Limits are being switched on workspace by workspace, so until yours is switched on the window tells you where you stand instead of stopping you. On Starter or Growth you can also add an extra company from Plan & billing instead of changing plan; the pricing page lists every plan.
Do I have to set anything up?
No. Your existing business automatically became your first company, with every client, invoice, expense and record intact. If you only ever run one business, nothing changes and you'll never see anything new.
How do I add another company?
The quickest way is the name at the top of every screen: click it (on a phone, tap it) and choose Create company. It takes you to Settings → Companies with the new-company form already open. It is there even when you have just one workspace and one company. Or do it by hand:
- Open Settings → Companies.
- Tap Add.
- Give it a name, plus its GSTIN and country if you have them (you can add these later).
- Save. The new company starts empty, with its own clean set of books.
Legal name, address and GSTIN
When you add a company you can also give its legal name and address: line 1, line 2, city, state and PIN code. If you type a GSTIN first, Finocket looks it up in the GST register and fills in any of these you left empty; anything you already typed stays as you typed it. If the register cannot answer, just type the details yourself. It never stops you saving.
To change them later, open Settings → Companies and tap Edit legal name and address under the company. The GSTIN is shown there but changed in GST settings, so the GSTIN on your invoices and the one your GST returns are filed under always stay the same. GST settings open for the company you are working in, so switch to that company first.
How do I switch between companies?
The top of every screen names the workspace and the company you are working in (Workspace · Company) beside your account picture, even when you have only one of each; with one account the list holds just Create company. Click it (on a phone, tap it and a sheet opens from the bottom) to see your workspaces and, under Companies, every company in the one you have open; pick another one and you are switched straight away. On a phone the same list is also at the top of the More sheet, and on a computer or phone at the top of Settings. Your account menu no longer carries it: that menu is about you: your profile, settings and sign out. Pick a company and the whole app (invoices, expenses, stock, cost centres, reports, GST) shows only that company's data. Invoice numbering, the GSTIN printed on documents, and your financial statements are all per-company, so filings never mix.
How do I know which company I am in?
With more than one company, Finocket names the active one in three places: at the top of every screen, after the workspace name (on a phone the two names sit one above the other and a long name is shortened; tap it to see them in full), next to the greeting on your home screen, and on the line under the title when you create something, which reads “Creating in company · business”. If the name is not the company you meant, switch before you save. Finocket remembers the company you last had open in each workspace, so switching workspace and back, or signing out and in again, brings you back to it. If you run only one business you will not see any of this and nothing changes for you.
Where does something I create get saved?
In the company you have open, and in the business you are working in. That holds for documents, clients and suppliers, items, expenses, bank imports and the records you make from bank lines, contacts on a client's card, campaign segments, catalogue pages, saved reports and dashboard widgets, and on the factory floor job-work orders, job cards and production output. When you work in a business you were invited to, what you create there belongs to that business, not to your own. A recurring expense is booked in the company its rule belongs to, whichever company is open when it runs, and re-importing GSTR-2B for a month replaces only the open company's lines.
Sharing a link to an invoice or a screen
The address of every screen names its workspace and, when you have more than one company, its company. Copy it and send it to a teammate: when they open it, Finocket switches them to that workspace and company and says “Switched to workspace · company”, so they see exactly what you see. Links in notifications and in the emails Finocket sends you work the same way. If the person opening the link has no access to that workspace or company, they see “You do not have access to this link” instead, with the account they are signed in as. They never see another company's books. If they are signed out, the link waits for them to sign in and then opens.
A page you left open before switching cannot save into the wrong company: if it tries, nothing is saved and you are asked to reload.
Who can see which company?
Your companies are yours. A teammate or CA you invite gets access per the access you grant, and only ever sees the companies they're a member of. One business's books are never visible from another. The same wall applies to the API: an API key works inside one company per request (pin it to a company, or choose per call), and a company the key can't reach is refused.
Where do a company's entity facts live, and why does the incorporation date matter?
Each company carries its own entity facts: switch to it, then open Settings → Business Details and scroll to the Entity facts section. It holds the date of incorporation, CIN or LLPIN, IEC, Udyam number, the month its financial year ends, and the paid-up capital or total partner contribution. Below it you can list that company's partners and directors (and mark one as ceased) and record capital events such as a contribution or an allotment.
The incorporation date is the one to get right first. Every annual filing counts from it (the annual return, the statement of accounts, the first financial year), so the calendar Finocket builds for that company aligns on this date. Copy it from the certificate of incorporation rather than from memory.
A blank field means not stated, never a default: Finocket will not guess a contribution or a year end for you. If the section ever shows a notice that the facts are not available, the workspace cannot read them at that moment and the form stays disabled rather than showing an empty form that cannot save. Since 7 September 2026 every workspace can read them. An invalid CIN or IEC is named under its own field when you save.
Can I see all my companies together?
Yes. Open Reports → Consolidated statements for a grouped Trial Balance, Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet across the companies you pick, matched account by account, with a column for each company beside the combined total, so you can see what every business contributed. Tick or untick companies to change the group; the default includes every company you can read.
It's read-only and rides the same access wall. A teammate or CA only ever consolidates the companies they're a member of. Consolidation needs two or more companies, all on the same base currency; if your companies use different base currencies the report says so rather than adding amounts that don't compare. Inter-company balances are shown as-is (no eliminations yet).
