Create your Kontala account
Last updated 20 July 2026.
You create your Kontala account on the Kontala website, not in the app. Signing up starts a free trial, and you do not need to enter a card.
Sign up
- Go to the sign-up page.
- Enter your Full name and Work email, and optionally a Phone number.
- Enter your Business name and choose your Business type: limited company, sole trader, partnership, landlord, or corporation. Kontala is currently available to UK businesses only.
- Tick to agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy, then choose Create my account.
If your email address already has a Kontala account, you are sent to the sign-in page instead.
Verify your email
We email a verification link to the address you entered, and the Check your inbox page confirms where it went. If it has not arrived after a minute or two, check your spam folder, or choose Resend the link.
Set your password
The link in the email opens the Set your password page.
- Choose a password of at least 8 characters, and enter it again to confirm.
- Choose Create my company.
This is the password that protects your books, so make it a strong one - see Secure Password.
Kontala then creates your account, sets up your company, and prepares your chart of accounts. This usually takes a few seconds, and you are then taken to the app to sign in.
Next steps
- Signing in to Kontala covers the sign-in page, Google sign-in, and password resets.
- Your first time in Kontala shows where you land and what to do first.
