What is a Team?

Teams are groups of users that work together and in most cases, a Team will represent a company or organization. Each team will have individual users we call Team Members. Think of Teams as a workspace for organizing and collaborating on all data that a business generates across different marketplaces, retailers, POS systems, payment providers and shopping cart programs.

Teams are designed to:

  1. Allow multiple users in an organization to share accounts, collaborate and export transactions.

  2. Provide an easy way for you to switch between multiple teams - perfect for accounting professionals.

  3. Create a subscription in the name of your company.

Teams for Accounting Professionals

For accounting professionals, the first team we create is in the name of your practice and will be identified as a FIRM. Firms will have access to features and capabilities that are designed to make the life of accounting professionals easier.
