Who Zoho Books is for
If one of these sounds like your situation in Galicia, this service is likely a good fit.

Problems Zoho Books solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Galicia.
Stock and sales that do not agree
If inventory sits in a separate sheet, margins are guesswork. Linked items give real cost and stock figures. automotive firms in Galicia often ask us to check this first.
Bank reconciliation that takes days
Without feeds and rules, every transaction is matched by hand. Automated rules reduce this to review and approval. Businesses near A Coruña tell us this is where time is lost.
Invoices that get paid late
Manual follow-up and unclear payment links slow cash. Reminders and online payment options shorten collection time. Budget for this in EUR before you compare quotes in Galicia.

Self-learning guide: Zoho Books 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
Design the chart of accounts
Keep it as simple as your reporting allows, and agree account names with your accountant before importing balances. We see this regularly with seafood businesses in Vigo and A Coruña.
- 2
Configure taxes and numbering
Create tax rates and groups for IVA, then set invoice and bill numbering that suits your records. In Galicia, it helps to plan this around Central European Time working hours.
- 3
Connect banks and write rules
Link bank feeds, then add rules for repeat payees so categorisation happens automatically. Teams in Vigo usually raise this in the first call.
- 4
Import contacts, items and opening balances
Clean lists first, import in small batches and reconcile opening balances to your last trial balance. Ask about it early if your team works from Vigo, A Coruña or Santiago de Compostela.

Common mistakes to avoid
Learning from others’ errors is the cheapest way to improve.
Ignoring tax settings until the first return
Tax errors compound with every invoice until the first return.
Using one expense account for everything
One catch-all account hides costs and makes analysis useless.
Before you start: preparation checklist
Having these ready usually shortens the project.
Your accountant's preferred account structure
Matching your accountant’s structure avoids rework at year end.
List of customers, vendors and items
Clean lists avoid duplicate customers and vendors.
Bank and card account details for feeds
Feeds need account details; the earlier they are set up, the sooner reconciliation starts.
