Product Tour

Wesley separates portfolio administration from the accounting work for an individual client. Knowing which workspace you are in prevents changes to the wrong firm or book.

The three working spaces

Firm workspace

The firm workspace contains the client portfolio and firm-wide operations. Its sidebar includes:

• Clients for portfolio status, filtering, client creation, and multi-client actions;
• Monthly Close for firm-wide period status, linked-task progress, readiness, and review queues;
• Bookkeeping Pace for new categorizations, transaction edits, goals, and weekly contributor detail;
• Timecards for weekly or monthly staff time;
• Billing for subscription and invoice information available to your role;
• Members for firm invitations, roles, membership types, and staff client access;
• Settings for firm name, check posting policy, branding, and reusable firm assets.

Use the firm switcher in the top bar to change organizations or choose New workspace. The command search can also navigate to common firm and client pages.

Client workspace

Select a row on Clients to open that client’s accounting workspace. The client switcher at the top of the sidebar changes books; always recheck the displayed client name before posting.

The client sidebar is grouped by purpose:

Some items, including Fixed Assets, Integrations, and several advanced reports, are hidden by default. Select Show more for the section or Customize Sidebar to keep frequently used pages visible.

Dashboards appears under Show more in Reports. The Client section shows Client Portal, Ask Client, and Client Settings, in that order; Show more adds Onboarding & Offboarding and Client links.

Inside Client Settings, Bookkeeping Guide appears directly below Client Information and combines standing bookkeeping instructions with transaction Ref defaults.

Client portal

The client portal is the client-facing space opened from Client Portal. It is not the same as a firm membership. Firm users control portal invitations under Manage Client → Client Access; portal users do not grant themselves firm or client-book access.

See Client Collaboration for the portal, document requests, and client work flow.

Client Settings

Select Client Settings to leave the accounting sidebar and open these client-specific settings:

• Client Information for the company profile;
• Integrations for external connections;
• Assignments for the firm members responsible for the client;
• Client Access for client portal users and invitations;
• Audit Logs for recorded changes;
• Danger Zone for critical client actions.

Use Back to client to return to Banking. Assignment is a workflow responsibility and does not by itself grant access; see Roles and Permissions.

Sidebar status controls

Sync

The status near the top of the client sidebar reads Sync: QuickBooks for a connected QuickBooks Online or Desktop company and Sync: Not connected otherwise. Select it to open the client’s sync page. A connected label does not prove that every dataset is current, so review the sync details and any errors before relying on imported activity.

AI Autoposts

The bottom of the client sidebar shows AI Autoposts:

• On categorizes routine repeat transactions and leaves the rest to the team.
• Experimental categorizes routine repeat transactions with early access to Wesley's newest transaction experiments.
• Off supplies payee and account suggestions. Active rules post matches while the team reviews the rest.

Changing the mode changes future division of work. It does not turn prior transactions into reviewed accounting evidence.

A normal trip through one client book

1. Read the Bookkeeping Guide for client-specific context.
2. Confirm source connections under Integrations and the Sync page.
3. Maintain the Chart of Accounts, payees, and tracking dimensions needed for coding.
4. Work pending activity in Banking.
5. Resolve missing evidence through Client Work or Shared Files.
6. Review Journal Entries and complete Reconciliation.
7. Start Book Review, finish the linked client tasks, complete the review, lock the period in Locks, and deliver the financial or client reports.

The exact pages you can view or edit depend on firm role, Internal or Extended membership, effective client access, client status, and configured integrations.
