Broker and client structure
What a broker is
A broker is the umbrella account that sits above all individual clients. In a multi-client setup, each client is a separate company with its own ERP integration, users, and approval flow — but they all sit under one broker.
Consultants and admins who work across multiple clients are granted access at the broker level. This means a single login gives access to every client under that broker, without needing separate credentials for each.
What is configured at each level
Broker-scoped settings are configured once and apply across all clients:
- Consultant user accounts
- Broker-level billing arrangements
Client-scoped settings are configured separately per client:
- Customer profile (name, VAT, contact person, invoice email)
- Accounting practice and payment prioritization
- Users and approval flow
- ERP integration
- Nordpay configuration
Why this matters
When you are onboarding a new consultant, create them at the broker level so they can be added to any client. When you are configuring a new client, all the actual settings live inside that client’s view — the broker is only the entry point.
