Where to look when something is wrong

A short triage guide to the right Kontala troubleshooting article, whether you cannot sign in, an import failed, or a figure looks wrong.

Last updated 27 July 2026.

Start here and follow the line that matches what you are seeing.

I cannot get into my account

  • The password is not being accepted, or you are locked out - see Can't sign in.
  • You have a code-based sign-in step and cannot complete it - your recovery codes will get you in; if they are gone, email support@kontala.com.
  • You were invited but the link does not work - see Signing in to Kontala.

A connection is failing

  • HMRC or FreeAgent will not connect, or has stopped working - see Common connection errors.
  • You are looking for a bank feed to set up - feeds are coming but are not switched on yet, so transactions come in by import for now. See Bank feeds and Open Banking.

An import did not work

  • The file was rejected, or the columns were read wrongly - see Statement import problems.
  • You are unsure which formats are accepted - see Statement import formats.
  • You imported the same period twice and are worried about duplicates - Kontala skips rows it has already imported, so overlapping files are safe.

A number looks wrong

A VAT return will not file

My question is not about a problem
