# Adding & Removing Entities

### Adding an entity

There are two ways to add an entity:

**From the Clients tab:**

1. Navigate to the client and click the options menu (⋯).
2. Click **Add entity**.
3. Fill out the entity profile (name, entity type) and click **Create entity**.

**From within the client's workspace:**

1. Go to the **Accounts** tab.
2. Click **Add Entity** in the top right.

Kick generates a standard (but completely customizable → see [Chart of Accounts](/setting-up/chart-of-accounts.md)) chart of accounts for the new entity based on the entity type you select.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** The bookkeeping start date you set during entity creation controls when transaction data begins syncing for connected accounts. This can be updated later from the Clients tab.
{% endhint %}

***

### Removing an entity

Deleting an entity permanently removes **all** associated data. Take this action with caution.

1. Go to the **Clients** tab.
2. Hover over the entity and click the options menu (⋯).
3. Click **Delete entity**.

Not all roles can delete entities. See [Permissions](/managing-clients/roles-and-permissions.md) for more.
