⚙️ What's new in Rounded this month?
More invoice and quote footer options
Payment details and footer notes can now be full width and stacked on top of each other to better accommodate longer text (like T&Cs).
Bank feed improvements
When connecting to Open Banking, users can now choose a date to import transactions from. This means no large overlaps in transaction data for existing Rounded users making the switch.
💡 Tip of the Month with Lauren Thiel, Accountant for Creatives + Sole Traders
Read the fine print and open your notifications. It might be costing you!
Got an email from MyGov saying there is something in your inbox? It's probably not a gold sticker, but please don't ignore it. It might be an important document or reminder for lodgement or payment... or a penalty notice. Tackle it head on.
Got a bank notification? (like UP bank recently changing their interest rate T&Cs... eek) It might be nothing, it might be a deal, or it might be a dramatic change to the banking terms which could end up costing you money.
Stay informed.
