The first time you open Huismus, your records are empty. There are three ways to start: step by step, by importing from Moneybird, or by looking around with sample data first.
Start step by step
On the overview, click Start step by step. In four steps you fill in what Huismus needs for your first invoice:
- Business: your business name, address, KvK number and IBAN. This goes on every invoice and quote.
- KOR: whether you use the small business scheme (KOR), and if so the text that goes under your invoices. More in KOR and VAT.
- Invoices: your default payment term and how Huismus numbers your invoices and quotes. The default is usually fine.
- Logo: your logo goes at the top of your invoices and quotes. This can wait.
You can skip a step and come back later. Everything is also under Settings afterwards.
Moving from Moneybird
Coming from Moneybird? Click Import from Moneybird and bring all your customers, invoices, quotes and expenses along in one go. Huismus does a trial run first and only saves anything when you choose to. How it works is in Moving from Moneybird.
Look around first
Want to see how Huismus works first? Choose Try with sample data. Huismus then fills itself with nine years of made-up records: customers, invoices, quotes and expenses. Click anything you like: none of it is real.
Done looking? Clear sample data takes Huismus back to how it was. Anything you made or set up in the meantime is gone too. While the sample data is in, Huismus makes no backups.
Ready to invoice
At first, the overview has a short list of what's left before your first invoice: your business details, your logo, the KOR or VAT, your first customer and your first invoice. What's done gets a tick. Start takes you straight to the right place.
