# Can I Manage Multiple Companies Under One Puzzle Login?

Puzzle supports managing **multiple companies (entities)** under one login.
​

You can create a “master login” that gives you access to multiple business accounts, so you can switch between them without needing separate passwords or separate team setups.
​

This is useful if you manage:

- Multiple businesses or entities

- Multiple legal companies (ex: LLC + holding company)

- Multiple clients (accountants / bookkeepers)

- Separate companies for different bank accounts or accounting systems

## How Multi-Company Access Works in Puzzle

Each company in Puzzle is its **own account**, but you can link them together by adding the same user (your main email) to each company.
​

Once linked, your primary email becomes your “master login” and you can access each company from one portal.

# Step-by-Step: Set Up Multiple Companies Under One Login

## Step 1: Create a New Puzzle Account for Each Business

To create additional business accounts, use your existing email with a **“+” modifier** to generate a unique login.
​

## Example email format

- [example@email.com](<>)

- [example+1@email.com](<>)

- [example+2@email.com](<>)

✅ All emails will still deliver to your main inbox ([example@email.com](<>)), but Puzzle will treat them as separate logins.

**Tip**: This is sometimes called “plus addressing” and works for most email providers.

## Step 2: Link All Business Accounts Into One Portal

Once each business account is created, you’ll link them together by adding your primary email as a user inside each company.
​

## For each newly created company account:

1. Log into the company account (ex: [example@email.com](<>))

2. Go to **Settings → Company → Users**

Once you grant Full Access, a dropdown/menu option will appear that allows you to access the linked companies under your main login.
​

Repeat these steps for each additional company account.

# What Customers Usually Ask (FAQ)

## Do I need a separate email address for each company?

Nope! You can use the same email with a “+” modifier:

- <example@email.com>

- [example+1@email.com](<>)

Puzzle requires each company account to have a unique login email, but these still route to your main inbox.

## Will I receive notifications for all companies in one inbox?

Yes — because all “+” emails deliver to your main inbox, you’ll receive everything at your primary email address.

## Can my team access multiple companies too?

Yes. You can add the same team members to each company by going to:
**Settings → Company → User → Add user**
​

Just make sure they have the correct permission level.

## Can I switch between companies once they’re linked?

Yes, after your primary email is added to each business account with Full Access, you’ll be able to switch between entities from one portal.

---

## Do I need Full Access to link companies?
