This guide walks you through the complete setup process when you first join Commenda.

Before you start

You’ll need:
  • Your company’s basic information (name, address, industry)
  • Details about your business entities (names, countries, entity types)
  • EINs or tax IDs for your entities (if available)
  • Key person information (directors, officers)

Step 1: Create your account

Visit app.commenda.com and sign up using your email address or Google account. Verify your email when prompted.

Step 2: Company setup

After signing in for the first time, you’ll enter the onboarding flow:
  1. Company details — enter your company name and basic information.
  2. Your profile — provide your name and role.

Step 3: Add your entities

After the initial setup, add the business entities your company manages:
1

Add your first entity

Click Add entity and enter the entity’s name, country of incorporation, entity type, and jurisdiction.
2

Add business information

For each entity, fill in the business information: EIN/tax ID, formation date, fiscal year end, and addresses.
3

Add key persons

Add directors, officers, and signatories for each entity.
4

Upload documents

Upload formation documents, bylaws, and other important files.
5

Repeat for all entities

Add all entities your company manages. You can always add more later.

Step 4: Define corporate structure

If your entities have parent-subsidiary or other relationships:
  1. Go to an entity’s Ownership tab.
  2. Add relationships to other entities.
  3. This is especially important if you’ll be using transfer pricing features.

Step 5: Review your compliance calendar

With your entities set up, Commenda automatically generates compliance obligations. Go to Compliance Calendar to review upcoming deadlines.

Step 6: Connect integrations (optional)

To get the most out of Commenda, connect your accounting software for automatic transaction syncing. See Supported integrations for the full list.

Step 7: Invite your team

Add team members who need access. Go to Settings, invite members by email, and assign appropriate roles.
