Using Parent Account to associate a Contact with more than one business

To associate a Contact with multiple Accounts, the Parent Account field needs to be used. This is added within the Account Module.

Multiple accounts can belong to a Parent Account.

This is especially useful if a single Contact has several businesses. In this example, name the Parent Account accordingly i.e. John Smith Holdings and place all the businesses that John Smith belongs to under the Parent Account.
