AccountsPrep is only available as an add-on for an active AutoEntry subscription, and you select it as an accounting integration for client companies within AutoEntry. AutoEntry is then required in order to extract data from scanned, photographed or emailed client bank or credit card statements.
As many as you want! Usage of your AccountsPrep monthly subscription is unlimited.
