Set Up Your Enterprise Account

Welcome to Upwork, a vast community where you can find the potential to grow yourself and your business in ways that only emerge when you have a trusted, scaleable team. We’re happy you’re here!

For admins only


Your account team will work with your company to set up your Enterprise account so you’re ready to post projects, contract freelancers and agencies, and have payments invoiced back to your company.

Enterprise set up includes

  • Custom fields to help you track contracts like department details
  • Purchase order or cost center information
  • Default contract terms
  • Talent Cloud settings
  • Onboarding plans (onboarding tasks include tasks to set up the freelancer, such as internal compliance requirements or company policies
  • Approval settings
  • Billing methods

In most cases, you should discuss with your account team before making changes to these settings as they may affect your whole account. If you have Administrator or Finance Administrator permissions, you can update custom fields like a PO number, in Settings ›Enterprise. Most hiring managers don’t have any admin privileges and won’t have access to the company settings. Your account team can help you make any necessary changes.
