Brightbooks subscriptions are managed through the BrightHub application. You can access BrightHub directly by going to the website Hub.Brightsg.com or through one of the options within Brightbooks. The options availabe to access Brighthub from Brightbooks vary based on your subscription type. BrightHub manages your subsciption costs, organisation details, add-ons, users, billing and 2FA.
Note - Subscription invoices prior to July 2024 will still be accessed within BB using the "Historic invoices" option. All other invoices will be available directly in Brighthub.
Viewing Subscription Monthly/Annual Invoices
(From July 2024 onwards, all subscription invoices are available only in BrightHub)
To view your subscription invoices please follow the steps below:
BrightBooks
- Open the BrightBooks business in question.
- Click on the Settings button from the top right-hand side.
- Under the General Setup column please select the Historic Invoices option.
- From the Historic Invoices page you can download your Invoices.
BrightHub
- Open the BrightBooks business in question.
- Click on the My Subscription option from the top right-hand side as this will redirect you to BrightHub.
- Within BrightHub select the Billing option from the left-hand side to view your subscription invoices.
- From there you can download or print your invoices.
If you are unable to view subscription payments and invoices even after signing in, it could be due to the business being attached to your accountant's bureau license. This means that your accountants are responsible for managing the subscription payments on your behalf. If you see a payment method linked but no invoices, it might be managed by your accountant's process. It could be helpful to contact your accountant for further details on how the payments and invoices are processed and to ensure everything is managed correctly.
If your account access has been revoked due to outdated payment details, sign into 'Billing' and update your payment information to regain access. Ensure you are signed in with owner functionality to view and edit billing settings. Direct debit payments require up-to-date payment details within BrightHub for smooth transactions.
Please note, if subscription invoices are not showing within BrightBooks or BrightHub, you would need to contact Payment Services.

Deleting/Canceling Subscription for a Business/Client
Before canceling your BrightBooks subscription it is important to back up any necessary data.
Once the business/client has been flagged for removal (Subscription Canceled for that business), access to that business will be restricted and after 90 days it will be completely removed.
If you have difficulty canceling a subscription due to linked accounts, such as when an accountant has set up a linked Bright accounts production account, you will need to request the accountant explicitly to delete and remove you as a client from their system. This will enable the 'remove business' option in the BrightBooks application, facilitating your ability to cancel the subscription.
Please note, you cannot cancel your subscription, but keep access to your account.
Understanding Lapsed Payments and Account Cancellations
If your account appears to be canceled or shows a 'removal pending' status, it may be related to a lapsed payment. This could lead to the account's pending removal. To resolve such issues, it is recommended to contact the accounts receivable team at accountsreceivable@brightsg.com to reactivate the account and address any outstanding payment concerns.
