Add Team Members to Keep Your Productivity Going
Any Team Member Profile can be assigned to one of several Roles with unique Permissions. Assign a Team Member as an Admin, Employee, Contractor, Manager, or Accountant and let them handle the rest. No micromanagement needed.
Keep Your Team Organized With Team Member Profiles
You shouldn’t pay extra for an accurate look at your business. You can add basic employee data to FreshBooks for free via Team Member Profiles. No more juggling spreadsheets or physical paperwork. Your team info will be right where you want it, exactly when you need it.
Seamlessly Add Team Members to Payroll
Team Member Profiles automatically integrate with FreshBooks Payroll, ensuring your Team Members are paid accurately and efficiently. Within the Team Members section of your Dashboard, you can manage your employee information to ensure you are up to date for upcoming payroll runs — all without leaving FreshBooks.
The Right Role for Every Team Member
Team management is the opposite of micromanagement. With Team Member Roles, you can give your team the tools to do their best work so you can focus on doing yours.
Admin
Bring your partners or top-level administrators into FreshBooks and share the load of keeping the business running. From invoicing and reporting to time tracking and bank connections, the Admin Role is a perfect mix of visibility and autonomy. Learn more here.
Manager
It’s never been easier to give your Managers the tools and context they need to help their teams grow and succeed. The Manager Role is a perfect way to empower a team member in their day-to-day leadership tasks, allowing you to keep an eye on the financial side of things. Learn more here.
Employee
Keep things clear and simple so your staff can focus on what they do best and minimize time spent wrestling with paperwork and documents. The Employee Role allows your Team Members to collaborate on projects while tracking their time and expenses on the same platform, so you can maintain visibility and support them when needed. Learn more here.
Contractor
To ensure everyone’s in the loop, invite your contractors to FreshBooks as a Team Member. With the tools to collaborate, track time, and monitor their dashboard for expenses, invoices, and estimates, the Contractor Role is another way for your team to stay on the same page. Learn more here.
Accountant
Nothing should be a surprise at tax time, and inviting your accountant to FreshBooks ensures that you have another set of eyes on the financial health of your business. The Accountant Role can access exclusive tools, like the Chart of Accounts and bank reconciliation, and can create Journal Entries. With everyone on the same platform, there’s no room for crossed wires or lost reports. Learn more here.
