lim companies
Manage companies in your lim account. A company is the top-level container for all accounting data: chart of accounts, journal entries, reports, and rules.
companies list
List all companies you have access to.
The list output is intentionally slim. It shows only operator-facing fields instead of the raw database row.
companies use
Set the active company for subsequent commands. You can use the company ID, slug, or exact name.
Examples:
The active company is stored in ~/.config/lim/config.json. You can override it per-command with --company <id>.
companies create
Create a new company. This initializes default accounts, tax codes, and fiscal periods, then sets the new company as your active company.
Flags
Use --slug if you want a stable human-readable identifier for lim companies use. If omitted, lim generates a global unique slug from the company name.
companies show
Show the active company’s profile in a structured format.
companies update
Update the active company’s profile.
Only the fields you pass are updated. Use lim companies show to inspect the current profile before editing it.
Country defaults
lim currently gives country-based defaults for Japan and the United States:
