Delete Account

This guide explains how to permanently delete your Fiskl account and helps you understand the complete data removal process.

Understanding Account Deletion

Deleting your account permanently removes all your data from Fiskl. This action differs from canceling your subscription, which keeps your data intact.

What gets deleted:

• All financial records and transactions
• Invoices, quotes, and estimates
• Client and vendor information
• Banking connections and transaction history
• Reports and saved data
• User settings and preferences
• Company information and branding

warning

Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. All data is permanently erased and cannot be recovered.

Before You Delete Your Account

Take these steps before proceeding with deletion:

Export your data:

1. Download important invoices and reports
2. Export your transaction history
3. Save any financial statements you need
4. Back up client and vendor contact information

Settle outstanding items:
