Hello there, @Art. Let me share some information about your concern.
Yes, your designated accountant can access payroll once you invite them. It's important to note that when you give your accountant access, they will have admin privileges. This means that they can make changes to accounts and view payroll reports. They will also be able to discuss any issues related to your accounts with other authorized users on the platform.
In addition, there's no option to adjust your accountant's access right since they're already set up as an admin. If you want to alter it, you can add them as a regular or standard user, so you will have the privilege to change and modify their roles in your account.
You can check this article for more information and details: Change your primary principal, payroll admin, or other payroll contact.
