What’s the benefit of grouping contracts into teams?
Teams help you work efficiently. They make it easy to organize different departments, groups, or functions within your Upwork account. By dividing contracts into different teams, you can achieve:
- Better visibility into time logged and spend
- Tighter control over admin or hiring privileges within each team
- Streamlined billing via charging each team directly to a specified billing method

How does using teams to group contracts work?
Each team has its own reports, members, and (optionally) financial account. You can invite members, set permissions, and manage your team’s billing information from your account settings.
- Separate reports: Keep track of milestones submitted, hours logged, activities completed, payments made and current work being completed by each team. For example, see how your mobile app team is tracking on a project budget versus your web development team.
- Distinct members and roles: Keep your contracts organized by type, department, project, or role. For example, separate your translators’ contracts by language or your mobile developers by app or operating system. Then set permissions for each team member.
- Designated financial account: You choose which teams share finances and which are kept separate. Managing interdepartmental budgets is simple since you can assign the appropriate payment method for each team.
