Founder Desk questions
Your virtual office with Founder Check: your file and documents, your messages with the team, the status of your Founder Works jobs and your tax calendar, for 1 company. No card needed. You get it with your working session (which adds 1 month with every feature) or by creating it without a session (with 7 days with every feature). Founder Desk opens in stages: we let you know when your account is ready.
It comes with your working session: every paid-plan feature for a month, with your calendar, alerts, step lists and filing guides, Academy and Resources, and up to 5 companies. Partner sessions and the 30% off Founder Works aren’t included: they’re services, not features. When the month ends, you choose a paid plan or stay on your free account. Without a session, the trial is 7 days.
A lifetime discount on paid plans for those who join at launch: 50% for the first 30 users and 25% until 100, as long as your paid plan stays active. It stacks with the month with every feature from your session: first the free month, then the founder price.
We also do every filing for you with Founder Works: we prepare it, a partner reviews and signs, and you follow it in your free account, together with your documents and your messages with the team. You don’t need a paid plan for that. The fixed price reaches you in writing after your session.
Yes. You can switch paid plans or go back to the free account, depending on what your business needs at each stage. Paying yearly equals 2 months free.
Each company or person registered with the tax authority (Hacienda; corporate or individual ID) is one company in Founder Desk, with its own calendar, deadlines and documents. For example, your corporation and you as an individual count as 2. The free account and Desk Esencial include 1 company, Desk Completo 2 and Desk Premium up to 5.
