How does the Accountant Hub work?

The Accountant Hub gives accounting professionals a centralized place to create and manage FreshBooks accounts for clients as well as access their clients’ books. Accountants on the Accountant Hub can choose to pay for their clients’ FreshBooks subscriptions or let the client pay for their FreshBooks subscription instead.

 

Important: As of August 31, 2026, the Accounting Partner Program, along with the Accountant Hub is being replaced by the new FreshBooks Partner Program. The Partner Program is a referral-based model that pays you directly for new clients you refer to FreshBooks.

  • Clients - Your existing clients’ information stay exactly the same, and their FreshBooks accounts remain active
  • Client Billing - If you have clients set up as Billed to Firm where your accounting firm is paying for the client’s FreshBooks subscription:
  • FreshBooks Partner Program - The new FreshBooks Partner Program is entirely optional if you want to start earning a referral commission for new client sign-ups
