Accessing your client accounts in their accounting software should be the easy part. With FreshBooks, it is, thanks to a hassle-free Accountant Hub portal that allows you to set up an account for your clients in a matter of seconds, see all your clients in FreshBooks, and access and manage their account information from one central location.
The Accountant Hub is a centrally located dashboard where you can add clients and manage their books all in one place.
Free to use and simple to set up, the Accountant Hub was created to save you time and effort in response to overwhelming requests from accounting professionals.
All you have to do to get started is create an account. You’ll be immediately directed to your Accountant Hub dashboard, where you can set up your client’s account for them.
Once you’ve created an account for your client, you have single sign-on (SSO) access to their account.
At this point, you can:
Just access the Accountant Hub link to sign into your account, and you’ll see your Hub dashboard.
Then you can create a FreshBooks account on behalf of your client, enter their basic info, and invite them to use it.

If you’re paying, you’ll choose a plan for your client now. If they pay, they’ll automatically be signed up for a 30-day free trial and can select their plan at the end of the trial period.
Now you’re ready to access your client’s account via your Accountant Hub dashboard.
Finally, invite your client to their new account.
