How to Add an Accountant to Your Square Account

The reason we need this is to be able to obtain financial summary reports to be able to agree Square to the financials. We will not touch any other store data. This also allows us to connect Square to the accounting system and reconnect as necessary.

  1. Log into your Square Dashboard
  2. On the lefthand menu, select "Settings" and "Account & Settings"
    Square Accountant and Settings
  3. Then, click into "My business" and "Security"
    Square Business Security
  4. Select "Add new team member"
    Square Add New Team Member
  5. You will now walk through the steps to add a new team member. First, fill in the profile information. Please use the email address that you'll send everything to (usually "[some version of your business name]@jhandco.com").
