Frequently asked questions about Uplinq
What is Uplinq? Are you a service or a software tool?
Uplinq is both a software and a service, providing the best of both worlds. The cutting-edge technology platform is powered by advanced automation and complemented by personalized services from industry experts, delivering an unparalleled bookkeeping and tax solution for your business.

Absolutely, support is an integral part of your subscription package. You will have direct access to a specialized accounting advisor available to resolve any questions or concerns. Uplinq aims to respond to all inquiries within one business day. Support interactions come at no additional cost.
Who can benefit from Uplinq's services?
Uplinq's client base includes over 500 organizations across various sizes and sectors. The platform excels in supporting high-growth tech startups, e-commerce platforms, professional service providers, and non-profit organizations. Over 30% of clients manage multiple businesses through the platform.
How does Uplinq complete bookkeeping?
Uplinq relies on in-house, proprietary software to manage bookkeeping tasks with no need for additional software. All operations are conducted seamlessly within the platform. Reports generated can be easily exported to Excel format. If using a different accounting tool like QBO and wishing to keep accounting data there, Uplinq can maintain that account for an additional fee.
Do you offer both accrual and cash bookkeeping? What's the distinction?
Uplinq supports both accrual and cash-based bookkeeping methods. Cash bookkeeping records financial events based solely on actual cash transactions. Accrual bookkeeping provides a more comprehensive view, recording transactions when revenue is earned or expenses are incurred regardless of cash flow. Most larger enterprises prefer accrual method, and Uplinq initiates accrual bookkeeping from day one.
Do you support international companies?
Uplinq offers services to U.S.-based entities irrespective of global location. If your U.S. company has foreign subsidiaries, Uplinq can provide consolidated financial reporting. However, the company currently does not extend services to entities based outside the United States.
How often will my bookkeeping be updated?
If using Uplinq for bookkeeping, records are updated in real-time. As transaction data is obtained from financial institutions, transactions are immediately categorized. For businesses with more complex requirements like Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable, additional verification steps may be necessary, and bookkeeping typically lags by 7-10 days from the transaction date.
What are my tax options with Uplinq?
There are two routes for managing taxes through Uplinq. First, Uplinq Tax offers solutions for both personal and business tax filing, requiring an additional purchase separate from bookkeeping subscription. Alternatively, you can work with an accounting firm of your preference, and Uplinq will seamlessly transfer organized financial records to them at no extra charge within your bookkeeping subscription.
What are the difference in tax tiers?
Uplinq offers three distinct tax tiers: Essential for small businesses with basic filing requirements (federal + one state filing, 5 free 1099s, financial diligence); Peace of Mind adding in-depth tax planning, fixed asset gain/loss, and depreciation support; and Tax Strategist as the most comprehensive with annual tax strategies, estimated tax vouchers, reasonable compensation report, and IRS notice support for maximum tax optimization.
Is Uplinq secure?
Absolutely, Uplinq prioritizes data security through continuous SOC 2 compliance assessments with SecureFrame and robust encryption standards. Infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with stringent security measures. All sensitive data is encrypted using industry-standard algorithms, system mandates complex passwords with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), and uses role-based access control ensuring only authorized personnel access sensitive information.
