Getting Started with PIA Go! Everything you need to know about your payments and invoices

All your accounts at a glance

With PIA Go!, you no longer need to check multiple platforms to understand your financial situation.

By default, the app displays the updated balance of three types of accounts:

• your business bank account

• your business credit card

• your cash account

Every time you record a payment linked to a purchase or sale, PIA Go! automatically updates the corresponding balance.

Using this feature is optional and depends on your working style and financial monitoring needs.

In simplified accounting, detailed payment tracking and reconciliation are not mandatory. Many entrepreneurs simply record their purchases and sales.

If you would also like to track payments in PIA Go!, discuss this with your account manager. Together, you can determine whether this option is useful for your situation.

Transferring money between your accounts

Some financial transactions are not related to your revenue or expenses.

For example:

• depositing cash into your bank account

• withdrawing money for small expenses

• transferring funds between different accounts

These transactions should be recorded via:
“Payments > Transfer between cash & bank.”

Transfers between business and private accounts must also be recorded here.

For example, when:

• you inject private funds into your business account

• you withdraw business money for private expenses

In these situations, always make sure to follow the applicable tax rules.

Using PIA Go! with an existing account

Did you start using PIA Go! after launching your business and already have a professional account? No problem. Via “Payments > Set initial account balances”, you can easily enter the starting balances of your various accounts. This ensures you begin with the correct amounts, after which PIA Go! will track all future transactions automatically.

Some payments do not affect your results

Certain financial movements change the balance of your business account without being considered income or expenses.

For example:

• receiving a business loan (the amount received is not income)

• repaying a loan (repayment of the principal is not an expense)

• paying a rental deposit for your office or storage space

• making a payment by mistake using your business account

These operations should be recorded via:
“Payments > New payment.”

This way, your financial overview remains accurate, without these amounts appearing in your profit and loss statement.

VAT payments: a special case

If you are subject to VAT, you must regularly submit a VAT return and, if applicable, pay the VAT owed to the tax authorities.

These payments can be recorded via:
“Payments > New payment.”

PIA Go! also includes a specific screen for VAT payments, accessible through the “VAT” menu.

This screen allows you to:

• immediately see the amount to pay or recover

• record the corresponding payment directly
