By connecting your GoDutch account to your bookkeeping software, you can complete your administration with ease, as all your financial data will be displayed in your bookkeeping software in real-time. Please use the steps below to enable the integration with Moneybird's accounting software.
💡 You can do this connection by yourself - DIY (see Option A) or invite your bookkeeper/controller as a team member to your GoDutch account and let them do the entire process for you (see Option B).
What we recommend:
Option A → If you don't work with a bookkeeper or accountant.
Option B → If you do work with a bookkeeper or accountant.
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have the following in place:
👤 You have full administration rights in GoDutch, including the ability to create bank entries.
🏦 Select a clearing account as your general ledger account, usually 1020 Cross-postings. Your bank account is intentionally excluded from the list because bank transactions cannot be posted to it.
🔀 Transactions from before the connection was established are not imported automatically. You can add them using an MT940 or CAMT.053 file.
Option A: Do it yourself (DIY)
Step 1: Add your GoDutch account in your Moneybird administration
In this step, you will be adding your GoDutch account to your administration. If you have already done this, you can skip this step and move to initiate the connection via your GoDutch account. We describe the steps to add your GoDutch account to your administration:
Login to your Moneybird account.
From the left menu bar, navigate to Bank -> Rekeningen.
From here navigate to 'Rekening zonder koppeling invoeren' and select 'Bankrekening' as option.
Fill in your GoDutch IBAN here.
Save your details.
Step 2: Initiate the connection via your GoDutch account
Login to your GoDutch account.
Navigate to Integrations and select Moneybird.
Click on 'Connect'.
We will ask you to authenticate with Moneybird credentials to establish the connection.
Once the connection is established, select your administration from the Administration drop down menu.
Under Journal, select your GoDutch account (IBAN number).
Under General ledger account, select a clearing account, usually 1020 Cross-postings. Your bank account is intentionally excluded from the list because bank transactions cannot be posted to it.
Click on 'Save'.
You are now connected! From now on, all bank entries executed after the connection data will sync automatically with your Moneybird administration.
☝️ Please note, transactions before the time-date when the connection was established won't show automatically in your Moneybird administration. You will have to upload these via an MT940.
Option B: Invite your bookkeeper/controller to your GoDutch workspace and let them handle the process
This option will save you lots of time going forward. The bookkeeper/controller will be able to establish the connection for future transactions, export transaction summaries (MT940) for historic transactions and generate custom reports without consuming your time.
The only thing you have to do is to invite your bookkeeper as a team member in your GoDutch workspace before you start the process. Let's call this step 0.
Step 1: Invite your accountant to your GoDutch workspace
Login to your GoDutch account.
Navigate to Members and click on New
Fill in the new member's Personal Details (i.e. your accountant's details).
Important: mobile phone number will be used for KYC and identity verification. We suggest your accountant uses the personal mobile number, rather than a company mobile number.Set the level of Permission you feel comfortable with. 'View' access is sufficient for your bookkeeper to create the connection and generate reports.
Provide an Address for this member. It can be a company address.
Share the invitation link with your bookkeeper.
Voilà! Your bookkeeper has now been invited to your GoDutch workspace and can generate connections with Moneybird, download bank statements, and generate custom reports when needed, without consuming your time.
Troubleshooting your accounting integration
Is your integration not working as expected? Below are the causes we see most often, along with the fix. In most cases, you can sort it out yourself within five minutes.
The integration shows as active, but no transactions are coming in
Most accounting packages have two types of rights: rights for the integration itself, and rights for the user you connected with. The integration rights are usually set up correctly. What's often missing is the right to create bank entries. View-only access isn't enough.
Check in your accounting software whether the user you connected with is allowed to create, modify and delete bank entries. You'll usually find this in the user settings, under Rights or Roles.
Is that right missing? Ask the administrator of your accounting software to add it. The integration will then work without you having to set anything up again.
I can't select my bank account as the general ledger account
That's right, and it's intentional. Bank transactions can't be posted to the bank account itself, so the integration needs a clearing account. This is usually called Cross-postings or Bank clearing account. The account number differs per package and per administration.
⚠️ Did you set up your integration earlier and are you seeing a message that the account can't be used? Then there's still a bank account in your settings. Change the general ledger account to a clearing account.
The integration was working fine and suddenly stopped
Your access is no longer valid. This can have a few causes:
The connection has expired. Some packages do this automatically after a period without activity.
Someone has revoked access in your accounting software.
The user account you connected with no longer exists, or its rights have changed.
The API key or token has been regenerated.
Check these four points and then reconnect:
In GoDutch, go to Integrations and open your accounting integration.
Click Manage.
Click Reconnect.
Log in to your accounting software and confirm access.
Your settings are saved. You don't need to select the general ledger account and journal again.
