Open any transaction by clicking on it 2. Click **Attach document** (or the paperclip icon) 3. Upload a PDF or image from your device The document is stored in Kick and linked to that transaction - so when your accountant opens it, everything is in one place. **Upload to the Documents library:** For documents that aren't tied to a single transaction - like a loan agreement or a vendor contract - go to **Documents** in the left nav and upload directly. You can organize by type and search by filename or keyword. *** ### Sharing with your accountant Any document you upload is immediately visible to team members with access to your workspace. There's no need to email files or share folders outside Kick - your accountant sees everything when they log in. If your accountant needs a specific document, they can request it through [Tasks](/working-with-your-team/tasks.md) and you can attach it directly in the task thread. *** ### Documents at tax time At year-end, having documents already in Kick means your accountant doesn't have to chase anything down. Before generating your [Tax Package](/reports/tax-package.md), do a quick check: * Loan agreements are uploaded and linked to relevant transactions * Year-end statements from Stripe, PayPal, or other processors are attached * Any 1099s you've received are stored and accessible * Large or unusual purchases have documentation attached → [Tax Prep Guide](/best-practice-guides/tax-prep-guide.md)\ → [Receipts](/setting-up/receipts.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
