Google Sheets

Import your Kick financial reports directly into Google Sheets - no downloading, no copy-paste.

Kick to Google Sheets™ pulls your financial reports from Kick into any spreadsheet in seconds. Add a report, turn on auto refresh, and build on top of live data — all without leaving Sheets.

Install it from the Google Workspace Marketplace.


Common use cases

Once your reports are in Sheets, you can do more than view them. Some common ways business owners use Kick to Google Sheets:

  • Share live financials: Instead of exporting a PDF every month, share a Google Sheet with your accountant, team, or investors. They always see the latest numbers.

  • Build your own dashboard: Add charts, KPIs, and commentary on top of Kick data in whatever layout works for you.

  • Create a reusable template: Set up dashboard tabs with formulas that reference your Kick report tabs, then refresh the report data each period. Your dashboard tabs stay intact.

  • Cash flow forecasting: Import historical Cash Flow Statement data on a dedicated report tab, build your forecast on a separate tab, and refresh actuals on a schedule.


One-time Set up

Install the add-on

  1. Click Install and grant the requested permissions

Open the add-on

  1. Open a Google Sheet file from your Google Drive. You can create a new spreadsheet or open an existing one.

  2. Open the Kick add-on under Extensions → Kick, or via the side bar menu (look for the Kick icon)

  1. If you're not signed in yet, click Sign in to Kick

  2. Complete the login flow that opens in a new browser tab and approve access to Kick

  3. When you see the confirmation message, close the tab and return to your spreadsheet

  4. The sidebar updates to show your Kick profile when sign-in is complete

To disconnect, open the settings icon (gear) at the top of the sidebar and click Sign out.

Pop-up blockers: Kick sign-in opens in a new tab. If nothing happens when you click Sign in to Kick, allow pop-ups for Google Sheets (docs.google.com) and Kick (kick.co). See Troubleshooting below.


Add a report

The sidebar has two tabs: Reports for adding new reports, and Refresh for keeping existing ones up to date.

  1. On the Reports tab, select your Workspace

  2. Select your Entity. This is a multi-select: check individual entities, or choose All to include everything in the workspace.

  3. Choose a Report type, such as Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, or General Ledger

  4. Set your Date range (preset or Custom)

  5. Adjust the Advanced filters if you need them

  6. Click Add report to sheet

The report loads in a few seconds, and the sidebar confirms Report imported. Add as many reports as you'd like to the same spreadsheet.

Date range

Date range uses the same presets as Kick, including This year to last month, year/quarter/month to date, and to today ranges. Presets stay current on auto refresh as months roll forward, for example, This year to last month always ends on the last day of the previous month.

Choose Custom to pick a From and To date, or click months on the calendar. To keep the end date moving, click Today on the To field (or type Today). On each refresh, Kick updates the range through the current day in the Kick workspace timezone.

Custom date range with Today selected as the end date

Advanced filters

The filters available are similar to those each report has in Kick:

  • Columns: how the report is broken out, for example Total only or By month

  • Class: limit the report to specific classes

  • Counterparty: limit the report to specific customers or vendors

  • Compare: add comparison columns, such as the prior year and the percentage change

Advanced filters in the Kick to Google Sheets sidebar: Columns, Counterparty, and Compare

Each report goes into its own tab named after the entity and report type.


Refresh reports

Open the Refresh tab in the sidebar to see every report you've added to the current spreadsheet, grouped by entity. Each report shows when it was last updated, and the top of the tab shows when the spreadsheet last synced.

There are 2 available options to sync live data from Kick:

1. One time refresh

  • Refresh a single, selected report: Click the refresh icon on the report row to pull the latest data from Kick.

  • Refresh all reports in the worksheet: Click Refresh all reports at the bottom of the tab to update every report in the spreadsheet at once.

2. Auto refresh

Turn on the Auto refresh toggle to have Kick keep the reports in this spreadsheet updated for you, so the numbers are current whenever someone opens the file.

After you turn it on, choose how often Kick should update the spreadsheet:

  • Daily

  • Every Monday or Friday, or every other Monday or Friday

  • 1st, 15th, or last day of the month

  • 1st or last day of the quarter

Use Daily when someone needs current numbers every day, such as a live dashboard. Use a month-end or quarter-end cadence for packages that should only roll forward after close.

Two or more people can refresh the same reports, as long as each person is signed in to Kick and has access to that entity.

What refresh changes

Kick rewrites the full report. Any extra columns, formulas, or formatting you added to a report tab will be overwritten. Tabs you created yourself, such as a dashboard or summary, are not touched by refresh.


Share a spreadsheet

You can share a spreadsheet that contains your Kick data with your accountant, team, investors, or anyone else. Sharing is handled entirely by Google, not Kick.

How to share

  1. Open the spreadsheet in Google Sheets

  2. Click Share in the top-right corner (or go to File → Share → Share with others)

  3. Add people by email, or click Copy link to generate a shareable URL

  4. Set each person's role:

    • Viewer: can see the data but not edit or refresh

    • Commenter: can view and leave comments

    • Editor: can change the spreadsheet contents

  5. Click Send or Copy link, depending on how you are sharing

Who can refresh Kick data

Anyone signed in to Kick with access to the entity can add or refresh reports. Two or more users can refresh the same spreadsheet this way. People you share the sheet with can view (or edit) the spreadsheet in Google, but they cannot pull new data from Kick unless they sign in with their own Kick account that has access to that entity.

Limit access to people who need it

Spreadsheets you share may contain sensitive financial data. We recommend sharing with the smallest group necessary and using Viewer access when someone only needs to read the numbers.

Kick is not responsible for who can access a spreadsheet once you share it through Google. Kick cannot see, manage, or revoke Google sharing permissions. You control access from the Share button in Google Sheets at all times.


Where your data is saved

Kick does not store your spreadsheet on Kick's servers. Everything is saved in your Google account:

  • Which file: The report is written into whichever Google Sheet you have open when you click Add report to sheet. Open or create that spreadsheet first. Kick does not create a separate file for you.

  • Which tab: Kick adds the report to a tab inside that spreadsheet, named after the entity and report type.

  • Where it lives: The spreadsheet is stored in Google Drive, like any other Google Sheet you own or have access to. You can move it to a shared drive folder, rename it, or organize it however you normally manage files in Drive.

If you run multiple entities in one workspace, you can use a single spreadsheet with separate tabs for each entity, or keep each entity in its own spreadsheet.


Troubleshooting

Can't sign in to Kick / nothing happens when I click Sign in

Kick sign-in opens a new browser tab. If no tab opens, a pop-up blocker is usually the cause.

  1. Allow pop-ups for docs.google.com and kick.co (check the blocked-pop-up icon in your browser's address bar, and disable pop-up blocking in ad blockers or privacy extensions)

  2. Click Sign in to Kick again and complete login in the new tab

  3. Click Authorize or Approve on the Kick connection screen. Do not close the tab before this step.

  4. Return to your spreadsheet; the sidebar should update within a few seconds

If it still fails: open the settings icon (gear) → Sign out, try again in a private/incognito window, or confirm you are signing into the correct Kick account.

Sign-in completed but the sidebar still shows "Not signed in"
  1. Close the authorization tab and return to your spreadsheet

  2. Reopen the sidebar: Extensions → Kick → Open

  3. Wait up to 2 minutes. The sidebar checks for sign-in automatically.

  4. If it still shows Not signed in, sign out and sign in again

"Sign-in not completed. Try again."

The sidebar did not detect a finished sign-in within about 2 minutes. Usually the Kick tab was blocked, closed early, or authorization was skipped. Allow pop-ups, complete the full flow (sign in → approve → see the success message), and try again.

No workspaces or no entities appear

Confirm your Kick account has access to the workspace and entity you need. Sign out and back in to refresh the list. If you work with an accountant, confirm they have access to the entity in Kick.

Report does not appear after clicking Add report to sheet

Make sure you have a Google Sheet open, the date range is valid, and your connection is active. Try adding the report into a blank tab. If the issue persists, sign out and sign back in.

Connection failure or a similar login error

Your session with Kick has likely expired. Open the settings icon (gear) → Sign out, sign back in, and add the report again.

Balance Sheet or Trial Balance is empty or fails

These reports require opening balances in Kick. Go to Accounting → Balance Sheet in Kick, complete any opening balance setup, then try again.

Refresh does not update my data

Use the refresh icon on the report row in the Refresh tab, or Refresh all reports to update everything at once. For hands-off updates, turn on the Auto refresh toggle and set a cadence. Anyone signed in to Kick with access to the entity can refresh, including two or more users on the same spreadsheet. Shared viewers cannot.

Data formatting looks wrong

Existing formatting on a tab can interfere. Try adding the report into a blank tab, or clear formatting on the target tab first.

I see the wrong workspace or entity data

The add-on uses whichever Kick account is signed in. Sign out, sign in with the correct account, and re-select the right Workspace and Entity.


FAQs

What happens to my other tabs and formulas when I refresh?

Refresh rewrites the report tab with the latest data from Kick. Any columns, formulas, or formatting you added to that tab will be overwritten.

Other tabs are preserved. If you build dashboards, charts, or summary formulas on separate tabs that reference the report data, those tabs are not changed by refresh, as long as your formulas point to cells that still exist after the refresh.

Can I add reports for multiple entities?

Yes. The Entity selector is a multi-select, so you can check several entities or choose All. Each report is added to its own tab, and the Refresh tab groups them by entity.

Is there an extra cost?

No. Kick to Google Sheets is included with your Kick account.
