Getting started: the setup wizard

What to expect the first time you sign in: six quick steps from secure account to ready-to-use books.

The first time you sign in as the account owner, Bizdivers walks you through a six-step setup wizard. Three steps are required; the rest you can skip and come back to later. Here's what each one does.

Step 1: Secure your account

Set up two-factor authentication to protect your books. You can use an authenticator app or a code sent by text message. This step is required. Your financial data deserves a lock on the door.

Bizdivers setup wizard step 1, the Set Up Two-Factor Authentication screen offering an authenticator app or a text message
For security reasons, it's mandatory to choose at least one method.

Step 2: Company details

Enter your company's legal name and address. Your address powers billing and tax, so it needs to be accurate.

Bizdivers setup wizard step 2, the Company details form with address, city, state, ZIP code and country fields
We only serve companies in the United States

Step 3: Start your free trial

Click Start free trial to begin your 14-day trial. No credit card required, and you won't be charged anything until you decide to subscribe.

Step 4: Connect your bank (skippable)

Click Link an account to connect your bank through Plaid and auto-import transactions. In a hurry? Click I'll do this later and connect from the Banking page whenever you're ready.

Step 5: Email-to-invoice (skippable)

Pick an inbox address vendors can forward invoices to (like your-company@inbound.bizdivers.com). Invoices sent there are read by AI and turned into draft records automatically. You can also set this up later under Settings → Email Ingestion.

Bizdivers setup wizard step 5, the Email your invoices in screen with the inbox prefix set to reviews
In this example, the address becomes reviews@inbound.bizdivers.com, and it belongs to your company alone.

Step 6: Invite your team (skippable)

Add a teammate by name, email, and role, or click I'm flying solo and invite people later from Settings → Team.

You're all set
