Who Zoho Accounting is for
If one of these sounds like your situation in Galicia, this service is likely a good fit.
Business owners replacing spreadsheets or older software
If invoices, bills and bank statements live in spreadsheets, Zoho Books centralises them and saves hours each month.
Finance managers who need approvals and reporting
Firms that want accounting tied to CRM, inventory and projects can use one connected suite.
Problems Zoho Accounting solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Galicia.
Invoices that get paid late
Manual follow-up and unclear payment links slow cash. Reminders and online payment options shorten collection time. Businesses near A Coruña tell us this is where time is lost.
Tax set-up that does not match local rules
Wrong tax codes lead to wrong returns. In Galicia, books must reflect 21% IVA and be ready for review by the Agencia Tributaria and the Registro Mercantil. automotive firms in Galicia often ask us to check this first.
Reports nobody trusts
Inconsistent accounts and tags produce confusing reports. A clean chart of accounts makes every report reliable. Teams in Vigo usually raise this in the first call.
What you get with Zoho Accounting

Opening balances and historical clean-up
We train bookkeepers and approvers and review usage after the first close.
Accountant and bookkeeper access with the right permissions

Automated recurring invoices, reminders and approvals
We set it up with your accountant and test it on sample transactions.
Self-learning guide: Zoho Accounting step by step
Use this guide to understand the process, do parts of it yourself or judge whether a provider is doing it properly.
- 1
Configure taxes and numbering
Create tax rates and groups for IVA, then set invoice and bill numbering that suits your records. It is a frequent topic for seafood owners across Galicia.
- 2
Set organisation details and fiscal year
Enter legal name, currency (EUR), fiscal year and tax registrations first, because they affect every later step. In Galicia, a short workshop on this saves weeks later.
- 3
Connect banks and write rules
Link bank feeds, then add rules for repeat payees so categorisation happens automatically. Ask about it early if your team works from Vigo, A Coruña or Santiago de Compostela.
- 4
Create templates and a month-end routine
Brand invoice templates, enable reminders and write a simple month-end checklist with owners and dates. In Galicia, it helps to plan this around Central European Time working hours.

Your accountant's preferred account structure
Matching your accountant’s structure avoids rework at year end.
Bank and card account details for feeds
Feeds need account details; the earlier they are set up, the sooner reconciliation starts.
List of customers, vendors and items
Clean lists avoid duplicate customers and vendors.
Common mistakes to avoid
Learning from others’ errors is the cheapest way to improve.
Leaving bank rules unchecked
Unchecked rules can categorise payments wrongly for months.
Using one expense account for everything
One catch-all account hides costs and makes analysis useless.
