Invite your bookkeeper or accountant

Give your bookkeeper their own user with the right role — collaborate in Payfriend without sharing a login.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

Payfriend does not replace your bookkeeper — but you can work together in the same system. Invite them as a user with a role that matches what they should be allowed to do.

Before you start

  • A free user seat on your plan (Gratis 1 · Start 3 · Pro 10)

  • You’re an admin

  • Their email

  • Agreement on whether they may pay bills / change integrations

Steps

1. Go to Settings → Team

2. Invite user

Enter email.

3. Choose role

Give no more rights than needed — especially bank and payments. Admin is rarely needed for an external bookkeeper.

4. Have them accept the invite

They create a login (or sign in) and join your company.

5. Enable 2FA

Recommend two-factor for everyone with access to financial data.

Check that it worked

  • They appear under Team

  • They see the right menus

  • They cannot do what you intentionally locked down
