CLIENT PORTAL USER GUIDE

Receiving an Invite to the Client Portal

Client Portal Invite links are sent to all new clients and are valid for 30 days once they are sent. If 30 days have passed, and you never used your invite link, you’ll have to request a new Portal Invitation Email from Winkler. If you have not received an invite please call or email our office.

When accepting the portal invitation in the email, you’ll set your password and bookmark the URL for the Client Portal so you can log in whenever you want to review proposals or invoices.

After your password is set, you will be redirected to the login page. You can then log in to your portal account for the first time.
