Account Setup

This page walks you through creating your Ileen account and completing the first-login billing setup.

Sign-up wizard (4 steps)

Step 1 — Account

  • Email — use your work email; this becomes your login identifier.
  • Password — minimum 8 characters.

Step 2 — Company

Fill in your organisation details. These are used for invoice generation and VAT compliance:

  • Company name
  • VAT number (optional, required for B2B invoices)
  • Billing address
  • Company size and industry

Step 3 — Contact

Tell Ileen about yourself so the AI can tailor suggestions:

  • Your role (e.g. CTO, Lead Developer, Product Manager)
  • Years of experience
  • LinkedIn or GitHub profile (optional)
  • Team size

Step 4 — Preferences

Set your defaults — these pre-populate Tech Leader suggestions:

  • Preferred programming languages
  • Preferred frameworks
  • Cloud providers you use
  • Typical project budget range

Click Finish to create your account.
