The Account Settings page holds your organization’s profile, your display preferences and your sign-in security. The details you save here go on your invoices and billing records.
Only the account owner can edit the profile and the preferences. A team member can open the page and read what their permissions allow.
Open Account Settings
- Select your name or picture at the top right of the screen to open the account menu.
- Select Account Settings.
At the top you see the account name, its Status and the date it became a customer under Member Since. Below it, General Info lists Company Name, Contact Name, Email Address and Phone. An empty field shows Missing Details with an Add button.

You see Account details saved. The change applies to the whole account, including invoices issued from now on.
Change your billing address
Your billing address is your tax location and the Bill-To on new invoices. It is edited from the Billing page.
