Set User Service Rates
Canopy allows each user to have a unique rate for hourly service items. If unique rates are not set for a team member, they will use the service item's default rate.
Use Cases:
Rates for More Experienced Staff or Specialized Services: A CPA at your firm typically doesn’t perform tax preparation for individual clients, but took on a special case and wants to charge a higher rate for when they perform that service.
Rates for Discounts: Your firm is trying to get more bookkeeping clients and you want to offer those services at a discounted rate for a few of your staff members.
Special Cases: Your firm typically doesn’t offer a service like auditing to the majority of your clients, but there are some exceptions you make for large clients. In these cases, you want to charge a higher rate when a designated staff member performs these services.
1. Click on the dash (—) in the Adjusted Service Rates column for the team member you want to set unique service rates.
If a User Rate has already been applied to that team member, you can click on the [X] Rates text to edit User Rates or apply new User Rates.
2. Input a User Rate in the provided box for each hourly service item if you want to set a unique rate for.
- Please note: Only hourly service items can have defined unique rates.
- User rates must be a positive, non-zero number.
