Gusto Accountant Partners can learn how to manage the different settings within your accountant profile.
			
							
						
							
						
							If you're a Gusto Partner, you can manage different aspects of your accounting firm from your partner dashboard.
  - Note: Some actions can only be performed by the Firm Admin, like adding or removing firm members.
If you're an employer looking to add your accountant to your profile, add them as a new administrator.
 Add or remove a firm member to your partner account  If you're a Firm Admin, you may add and remove accountants to/from your accounting firm. 
 Add a firm member   - Sign in to your Partner dashboard.
- Click the Firm directory section on the left-side of your account.
- Click Add firm member.
- Select if they should be a Firm admin, who has permission to manage the firm’s Gusto Pro account, other firm members, and firm billing.
- Enter your new firm member's name and email address.
- Click Select clients.
- Select which clients the firm member will manage (have access to).  - Note: If the firm member is already a payroll admin on a company account, do not select for them to manage any companies during the invite flow.  - Once set up as a firm member, you can return and assign which companies they'll manage.
 
 
- Click Add firm member.
Your new firm member will need to accept the invite via email before becoming accessible in your Firm directory.
