TEAM ACCESS & PERMISSIONS
Give Your Team the Access They Need — Nothing More, Nothing Less.
Accoru's role-based team access lets you add team members, accountants, and business partners to your account with precisely the level of access their role requires. Your financial data stays secure. Your team stays productive. Everyone sees exactly what they need to see.
Sharing Your Accounting Access Shouldn't Mean Sharing Everything
When a small business grows beyond a single founder, financial information needs to be shared — with a business partner who needs visibility, a bookkeeper who needs to categorize expenses, a team member who needs to create invoices, or an accountant who needs to review reports and prepare tax filings. But sharing financial access is not without risk. Giving everyone full administrative access to your accounting platform means anyone can change settings, delete records, modify invoices, or access sensitive financial information they have no business seeing. Most accounting platforms handle this poorly — offering either full access or no access, with little nuance in between. The result is that businesses either share too much access and create security risks, or share too little and create workflow bottlenecks. Accoru's role-based permission system gives you precise control over what every team member can see and do — so your data stays secure, your workflows stay efficient, and every person on your team has exactly the access their role requires.
Security Risks From Oversharing
Giving every team member full administrative access creates unnecessary security risks. A disgruntled employee, a careless action, or a compromised account can do significant damage when access is unrestricted.
Workflow Bottlenecks From Undersharing
When only one person has access to the accounting platform, everything funnels through them — creating bottlenecks, delays, and a single point of failure that slows the entire business down.
Per-User Fees That Punish Growth
Many accounting platforms charge per user — meaning every new team member you add comes with an additional monthly cost. Accoru includes team access in every plan with no per-user fees.
Flexible, Secure Team Access for Every Role
Accoru's team access tools give you the control to share your accounting platform confidently — with the right people, at the right level, with a complete record of everything they do.
Invite Team Members in Seconds
Adding a new team member to your Accoru account takes seconds. Enter their email address, select their role, and send the invitation. They receive a professional invitation email with a link to set up their own secure password and access the account. No IT involvement required. No complicated setup process. From invitation sent to team member active takes under two minutes — and their access is configured automatically based on the role you assigned.
- Email invitation system
- Role selected at invitation
- Professional invitation email
- Secure password setup for new user
- Invitation expiry (link expires after set period)
- Resend invitation option
- Cancel pending invitation
- Invitation status tracking (pending, accepted)
Accountant Access — Built for Professional Relationships
The Accountant role in Accoru is specifically designed for the professional accountant-client relationship. Your accountant gets access to everything they need — financial reports, bank reconciliation, journal entries, trial balance, tax reports, and the general ledger — without access to anything they should not have, such as your billing details, team management settings, or client communication tools. Invite your accountant once and they have everything they need to advise, review, and file — without calling you for reports or access every time they need something.
- Full financial report access
- Bank reconciliation access
- Journal entry access
- Tax report access
- General ledger access
- Trial balance access
- Expense management access
- No billing settings access
- No team management access
- No client communication access
- Accountant can export all reports
- Accountant can add journal entries
Complete Audit Trail Per User
Every action taken by every team member in your Accoru account is recorded in a complete, immutable audit trail — what they did, when they did it, and from which device. Created an invoice, edited an expense, deleted a client, changed a payment record — every action is logged with a timestamp and the user's identity. Review the audit trail at any time to understand what has changed, identify errors, resolve disputes, or demonstrate due diligence in your financial management.
- Every user action logged
- Timestamp per action
- User identity per action
- Device and IP address logged
- Action type recorded (create, edit, delete, view)
- Record affected recorded
- Filter audit log by user, action type, date
- Export audit log
- Immutable — cannot be edited or deleted
Two-Factor Authentication Per User
Every user on your Accoru account can enable two-factor authentication — adding a second layer of security that requires a one-time code from an authenticator app in addition to a password at login. As the account owner, you can require two-factor authentication for all team members — ensuring that even if a password is compromised, unauthorized access to your financial data is prevented. Security is not just your responsibility as the account owner — it is enforced at the individual user level.
- Two-factor authentication per user
- Authenticator app support (Google Authenticator, Authy)
- Require 2FA for all users (account-level setting)
- 2FA status visible per team member
- Recovery codes for locked-out users
- Admin can reset 2FA for team members
- Login attempt log per user
- Suspicious login alerts
Remove & Manage Team Members Instantly
When a team member leaves your business, removing their access to your financial data should be immediate and complete. Accoru lets you deactivate any team member's account instantly — revoking all access from that moment forward. All their historical activity remains visible in the audit log. All records they created remain intact. Their access ends immediately — no delays, no lingering permissions, no security gaps. Reinstate access at any time if circumstances change.
- Instant account deactivation
- Complete access revocation on deactivation
- Historical activity preserved
- Records created by deactivated user preserved
- Reinstate deactivated user
- Transfer record ownership on removal
- Deactivation logged in audit trail
- Deactivated user list (for reference)

No pricing that punishes you for building a team. Every person who needs access to your accounting platform can have it — at no additional cost.
- Unlimited team members
- No per-user fees
- No seat limits
- All roles available on every plan

Send an Invitation
Enter the team member's email address, select their role — Admin, Accountant, Staff, or View Only — and send the invitation. They receive a professional email with a link to accept and set up their secure password.

They Log In and Get to Work
The new team member clicks the invitation link, creates their password, and logs into Accoru. Their dashboard and navigation reflect their role — they see exactly what they need to see and nothing else.

What Small Business Owners Say About Accoru Team Access
“I was nervous about giving my bookkeeper access to our accounting platform because I did not want her to see our billing details or be able to change settings. The Accountant role in Accoru gives her exactly what she needs — reports, reconciliation, journal entries — and nothing else. It works perfectly.”
“We have three people creating invoices and recording expenses. With other software we were either all sharing one login — which was a security nightmare — or paying per user, which was expensive. Accoru gives everyone their own secure login at no extra cost. It is exactly how it should work.”
“When we had to let a staff member go, I revoked their Accoru access immediately from my phone before they even left the building. That kind of instant access control gives me real peace of mind about the security of our financial data.”
