👥 Special Option for Accountants: Parent/Child Access
If you're an accountant managing multiple sales channels for a client, Link My Books offers a parent/child setup designed to make your workflow easier.
With this setup:
The account owner can nominate specific users (typically an accountant) to have full access to all current and future sales channels under their account.
You don’t need to be added manually to each individual sales channel.
As new accounts are connected by the owner, you’ll automatically gain access — saving time and reducing admin.
💡 To enable this setup, the account owner must contact Link My Books support via the chat icon in the bottom-right corner of any page and request the parent/child user setup.
This feature is especially useful for accountants or bookkeepers managing multiple seller accounts under one client.
