One login for every company that employs you

Plenty of people work in more than one business. A group with a trading company and a holding company. A second entity opened for a new venture. A bookkeeper across several clients.

Most software answers that with a second login, a second password and a second subscription. Diract holds every company you belong to under the one account.

Switching

• Your avatar sits at the bottom of the sidebar. The Switch company section lists every company holding you, with the role you have there. The active one has a dot.
• A company chosen from that list. The app reloads into its data and settings.
• With many companies a Search companies box appears at the top of the list.

Your role is per company

Being an admin in one company gives you nothing in another. The role is held against the membership, not against you.

That is what makes the arrangement safe for a bookkeeper or an external adviser. They can sit in one client's accounts at full admin, and in another at whatever that client decided. Neither client's settings appear from the other.

Starting another one

1. The Create new company option sits at the bottom of the menu.
2. Its purpose comes next: A law firm, Property / real estate, Cafe / rostering, or Something else. That choice decides its starting tables and dashboards.
3. The form takes a Company name and a Country, then Create company finishes it. You become its admin.

Each company is set up on its own

The template choice at creation decides the starting tables and dashboards. A law firm and a cafe under the same login need not share a shape.

The country does more than set the date format. It decides which parts of the product apply at all. Trust accounting and payroll are Australian, and a company set to another country is not shown them or told about them.

What this changes about email

One mailbox can serve several of those companies. That matters for signatures, because a mailbox holds only one signature slot.

So an admin nominates the staff whose signature stays this company's wherever they are. Without that, the last company to push wins and a person's signature appears to change when they switch.
