# Set up your company

*Set your company details, fiscal year, base currency and tax pack before you post anything.*

A few settings decide how every report is calculated, so set them first. They're in **Settings › Company**.

1. **Company details** — legal name, address and registration numbers. In Pakistan, add your NTN and STRN; they print on invoices and tax documents.
2. **Fiscal year** — the month your financial year starts. In Pakistan this is usually July. Reports, filing periods and tax statements all follow it.
3. **Base currency** — the currency your books are kept in. You can still invoice, pay and hold bank accounts in other currencies.
4. **Tax pack** — the local tax rules AXO applies to invoices, bills and payroll.
5. **Chart of accounts** — start from a template for your type of business, or bring your existing chart across when you migrate.

> **Warning:** Set the fiscal year before you post any entries. A wrong fiscal year places every report and tax statement in the wrong period.

**Document sign-off**

Choose who signs which documents — for example Prepared by, Checked by and Authorised signatory on invoices — and upload each signer's signature. A signature only appears on a document once the matching approval has actually happened in AXO. Documents with no signature block carry a line saying they're computer-generated.
