How does the accounting platform connection work?

Last updated on Dec 05, 2025

Cogo uses your accounting data as the basis for calculating your business's carbon footprint.

How does Cogo connect to your accounting platform?

When you sign up, you will be asked to grant Cogo read only access to your accounting data via the app platform. We only access your purchases and spend transactions and basic information about your business which we use to calculate your business's carbon footprint.

Once you've accepted the terms and conditions, select which accounting platform you wish to connect.

If you use multiple organisations in your accounting platform, you will need to select the one you would like to connect to Carbon Manager.

How does Cogo interact with my accounting platform?

At present, Cogo regularly syncs bank transactions from your accounting platform into Carbon Manager so that your carbon footprint is as up to date as possible. If it’s still not there after a day please get in touch with us.

How do I disconnect my accounting platform from Carbon Manager?

If you no longer want to use Carbon Manager, you can disconnect the Cogo App from your accounting platform account by going to Settings, selecting "accounting data", then clicking "Disconnect". Doing this means that Cogo will no longer have access to your accounting platform data and you will not be able to continue calculating your business's carbon footprint.
