Edit or delete an account manager and client group

This article explains how to edit or delete an account manager and client group that you’ve previously added to your Practice Dashboard.

Account managers, both seniors and non-seniors, who are added to a group will be able to access any client that is part of that group, even if they are not the assigned account manager for that client. Groups allow easier access to client accounts and prevent the need to juggle client ownership when an accountant or bookkeeper goes on holiday.

Please note:

  • Only senior account managers can edit or delete a group.
  • A group can only be deleted if it has no clients or account managers in it.

Navigate to either the ‘Account Managers’ or ‘Clients’ area and select ‘Manage groups’.

‘Manage groups’ button highlighted at top of Account Managers page.

Alternatively, select ‘Settings’ from the drop-down menu in the top-right of your Practice Dashboard and select ‘Groups’.

‘Groups’ highlighted under My practice section of Settings page.

Select the relevant group.

Listed groups highlighted under Name header.

You can then edit or delete the group.

How to edit a group

You can either edit the name of the group or remove clients and account managers from it.
