Integration with Active Workpapers (Australia and United Kingdom only)

Business Fitness Active Workpapers is a cloud-based, flexible solution that easily handles complex accounting jobs with best practice functionality.

By integrating Active Workpapers, you can link to and preview documents, as well as export and file your binders for a selected entity and cabinet in FYI. This streamlined process increases efficiency and minimises the likelihood of errors.

For practices on the Elite plan, client and user data will also be synchronised from FYI to your Business Finterss Active account.

This integration is available to practices in Australia and The United Kingdom only.

Note: This integration is available specifically for Business Fitness Active users, and not the general Business Fitness Workpapers.  

Connecting FYI to Active Workpapers

Step 1 - Obtain the Access Key ID and the Access Key Secret from FYI
