Whether you have a team or you’re looking to grow a team, working together in FreshBooks on Projects is simple and easy. Anyone invited to a Project can share files and collaborate so that everyone stays on track.
To get started, read below, or jump to a specific section:
There are a few roles in FreshBooks that you can assign to your team members. Each role comes with different sets of permissions depending on what you’d like them to work on.
Admins - Most access to your business’ account
Managers - Most access to your business’ account
Employees - Some access to your business’ account
Contractors - Have their own account and some shared information to yours
Accountants - Some access to your business’ account
Once you’ve invited your team members, you can start assigning them to Projects:
Go to the Projects section
For existing Projects, click on it, then click on the Edit button
For a new Project, click on the New Project button
Click on the + symbol under Team Members in the top left
Select your Team Members by using either:
The Select All checkbox
Individually checking off boxes next to the Team Member(s)
The Search field and/or Filter by Role option to check off specific boxes
Click on the Update Team Members button
Then click on Save to finish and once invited, team members can collaborate in the Discuss tab.
Everyone that’s invited can share files, leave comments, and see others’ files and comments as well. With everyone working together in Projects, it’s easy to stay on the same page and keep productivity up.

Assign Billing Rates
If you're creating Projects with Team Member Rates as the Billing Method, the rates are pulled from Billable Rates. This allows you to bill different amounts for time tracked depending on your team member’s hourly rate.
You can set up rates for each team member with the below steps:
Click on the My Team section
Then click on a team member
Add or edit in the Billable Rate box as needed
When you’re done, click Save to apply the new rate.
