Invite an accountant or bookkeeper to your subscription

A Sage Advisor is a professional, like an accountant or bookkeeper, who helps manage your finances.

Connecting an advisor allows them to access your Sage account and assist with tasks like accounting and payroll.

To invite an advisor, you need their Advisor ID or email address. This will let them securely connect and help manage your business.

Find your Advisor ID to give to your clients.

You can only invite one advisor by email and you can invite up to five advisors if they use an Advisor ID.

 NOTE: Only users logged in with Administrator permissions can invite an advisor. 

Before you begin

If you're using Sage Accounting, log in as an Administrator or Standard user. 

If you're using Sage Payroll or Accounting Individual, log in as the Administrator. Find out more about User Roles.
