We’ve built Rules to give you full control over your transactions and accounting reports in Kick.

In the past, Kick automatically created Rules behind the scenes through our Actions feature. Now, we’re putting that same system into your hands—giving you the ability to personalize Kick for your Business or Clients.

Just chose your Conditions and create Actions that:

  • Change Categories
  • Apply Classes
  • Update Entities
  • Assign Vendors
  • Assign Customers
  • Add Notes

In addition to Transactions Rules, we’re also rolling out Accounting Rules, which give you the ability to override Kick’s automated Category to Chart of Accounts mapping. This gives you full flexibility to customize accounting reports for any industry.

To get started, go to the Transactions or Accounting tab within Rules and click “Add rule”.

Once your Rules are set up, you can “kick” back knowing your books are on autopilot.

Custom Chart of Accounts

With Rules revealed, we’re also opening up the ability for you to create your own custom Chart of Accounts.

You can now map your Transactions to an unlimited number of custom GL accounts to tailor Kick to any industry, all on the Kick Plus Plan.

Rule Groups

Most accounting rule engines rely on a long, disorganized list of Rules that are difficult to manage at scale.

Kick breaks this trend with a new system called Rule Groups that allows you to create powerful sequences of Rules chained together.

Rule Groups allow you to organize your Rules by Tax Year, Entity, Member, Industry or any way you prefer.

Just drag-and-drop each Rule Group to set your priority, and watch your Rules run exactly as intended.
