When you invite a bookkeeper to join your company in HoneyBook, they’ll have access to a limited view of your account, with all financial data and report analytics. Bookkeeping, made easy.
If you're part of the HoneyBook Finance closed beta, your bookkeeper will not be able to access that Finance dashboard (aka the My money page).

Granting bookkeeper access
📚 Tip
Only super admin team members and account owners are able to grant bookkeeper access.

To invite a bookkeeper to join your company:
1. From any page, click your profile photo in the top right corner of your screen.
2. Select Company Settings from the menu.
3. Select the Team tab.
4. Under Bookkeeper access, select Give Access.
5. Enter in your bookkeeper's work email, full name, and company name.
6. Enter additional contact information if desired.
7. Click the Invite button.
a. You can grant access to as many bookkeepers as needed.
Your bookkeeper will receive an email invitation with a special link, prompting them to head to HoneyBook, set their password (if they haven’t already done so), and log in to view your financial and reporting information.
Extending bookkeeper access
When you invite a bookkeeper to join your HoneyBook company, their access is valid for 365 days. If you're still working together, you can extend their access at any time.
To extend your bookkeeper's access:
1. Head to the Bookkeeper access section of the Team tab in your settings.
2. Click the three dot icon next to the bookkeeper's name.
3. Select Extend access.
This will extend your bookkeeper's access by an additional 365 days. Remember: you can revoke access at any time by following the steps below.
Revoking bookkeeper access
Your bookkeeper's access will automatically expire 365 days after you’ve granted it (or, if you’ve extended access, once that period is up), but you can also revoke their access at any time.
To revoke your bookkeeper's access:
1. Head to the Bookkeeper access section of the Team tab in your settings.
2. Click the three dot icon next to the bookkeeper's name.
3. Select Revoke access.
You’ll see the bookkeeper's status change to Revoked, and they'll no longer be able to log in to your account.
