| description | Access Financials integration via Apideck's Accounting unified API — same methods work across every connector in Accounting, switch by changing `serviceId`. Use when the user wants to read, write, or reconcile invoices, bills, payments, ledger accounts, and journal entries in Access Financials. Routes through Apideck with serviceId "access-financials".

Access Financials (via Apideck)
Access Access Financials through Apideck's Accounting unified API — one of 34 Accounting connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to Acumatica, banqUP, Campfire and 30 other Accounting connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Access Financials plumbing.
Beta connector. Access Financials is currently in beta on Apideck. Expect partial resource coverage and occasional mapping gaps. Always verify coverage (see below) and fall back to the Proxy API for unsupported operations.
Quick facts
When to use this skill
Activate this skill when the user explicitly wants to work with Access Financials — for example, "create an invoice in Access Financials" or "reconcile payments in Access Financials". This skill teaches the agent:
- Which Apideck unified API covers Access Financials (Accounting)
- The correct
serviceId to pass on every call (access-financials)
- Access Financials-specific auth and coverage caveats
For the full method surface (parameters, pagination, filtering), use your language SDK skill:
For the raw OpenAPI spec:
Minimal example (TypeScript)
import { Apideck } from "@apideck/unify";
const apideck = new Apideck({
apiKey: process.env.APIDECK_API_KEY,
appId: process.env.APIDECK_APP_ID,
consumerId: "your-consumer-id",
});
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({
serviceId: "access-financials",
});
Portable across 34 Accounting connectors
The Apideck Accounting unified API exposes the same methods for every connector in its catalog. Switching from Access Financials to another Accounting connector is a one-string change — no rewrite, no new SDK.
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "access-financials" });
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "acumatica" });
await apideck.accounting.invoices.list({ serviceId: "banqup" });
This is the compounding advantage of using Apideck over integrating Access Financials directly: code against the unified Accounting API once, gain access to every connector in it. New connectors Apideck adds become available to your app without code changes.

- ✅ Chart of accounts
- ✅ Tax rates (UK VAT)
- ✅ Tracking categories
- ⚠️ Purchase invoices — may be partial; verify with connector API
- ❌ UK MTD submissions — use Proxy
- ❌ Payroll — Access offers payroll via a separate product line
Auth notes
- Type: API key, managed by Apideck Vault
- Client binding: one Access Financials client per connection.
- Enterprise-typical onboarding: integration may require coordination with the customer's Access admin team.
Example: list recent customers
const { data } = await apideck.accounting.customers.list({
serviceId: "access-financials",
filter: { updated_since: "2026-03-01T00:00:00Z" },
});
Escape hatch: Proxy API
When an endpoint isn't covered by the Accounting unified API, use Apideck's Proxy to call Access Financials directly — Apideck injects auth headers and handles token refresh. Set x-apideck-downstream-url to the target endpoint on Access Financials's own API:
curl 'https://unify.apideck.com/proxy' \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${APIDECK_API_KEY}" \
-H "x-apideck-app-id: ${APIDECK_APP_ID}" \
-H "x-apideck-consumer-id: ${CONSUMER_ID}" \
-H "x-apideck-service-id: access-financials" \
-H "x-apideck-downstream-url: <target endpoint on Access Financials>" \
-H "x-apideck-downstream-method: GET"
See Access Financials's API docs for available endpoints.
