Setting up 2Shakes with Companies Office
There are a few steps to getting your 2Shakes set up with Companies Office. Once these have been done, getting authority for your clients with Companies Office becomes very efficient to do. The steps are:
- Have an Organisational Account type with Companies Office
- Connect 2Shakes to your Organisational Account
Organisational Accounts
You can interact with Companies office using their website. If you do not have an account with Companies office the you will need to:
- Create a RealMe Log on
- Create a Companies Office organisational account
Individual account types will not work
There are two types of Companies office accounts. Individual accounts and organisational account. When you are a bookkeeper, accountant or laywer, who runs a business that works on behalf of others, you should use a organisational account. Organisational accounts allow other staff in your organisation to process Company Office transactions for your firms clients.
2Shakes currently only works with organisational account types. To set up the ability to act on behalf of your client with Companies Office using 2Shakes, an Organisational account is required.
