Paying Manager
A paying manager is a manager account that controls monthly invoicing billing setups used by the Ads accounts beneath it in a manager account hierarchy.
Important: If you unlink an Ads account from its paying manager (or break that link by changing the manager structure above) the Ads account will stop serving ads immediately.
Users with standard, admin and billing-only access that are signed in to the paying manager (or any manager account above it) can view invoices, edit budgets and perform billing transfers for Ads accounts under that manager. Although one Ads account can be linked to multiple manager accounts, the billing setup for that Google Ads account is managed by only one of those manager accounts. That’s because a single Google Ads account can only have one active billing setup at any given time.
In your Google Ads account, you can find the paying manager information at the top of the Settings page after selecting the Billing tab.
To view the paying manager information for all your linked Google Ads accounts within your manager account, you need to add a “Paying manager” column to the Account budgets page within your Billing tab. Learn how to customize tables and charts.
