G’day and welcome!
If you’re new here you might be wondering what exactly the QuickBooks Community is all about. Here we’ll tell you everything you need to know about our community, including how to get the most out of your community experience. Plus, we’ll go over some basic dos and don’ts.
Why we built the QB Community
Whether you’re a small business owner with big business dreams or a bookkeeper or accountant trying to help your clients grow we understand that a bit of support can go a long way. But, we also know that there’s a lot of information out there, sometimes conflicting information, and this can be overwhelming, confusing and really just unhelpful.
We want you to be able to escape the racket caused by information overload.
We’ve created a hub for real conversations where our members can share real stories about their adventures—and misadventures—in entrepreneurship. We’re nurturing a community that values listening, learning, supporting and exchanging ideas, and a community where QuickBooks experts can share their expertise with others struggling to get a grip on it.
We’re a supportive place
We’re not about pretending the small business life is easy. Nor are we living in a fantasy where everyone has the time or skill set to become bookkeeping or accounting experts. Our community is made up of people from all walks of business-life with completely different experiences and depths of knowledge. Here, no question is a dumb question and no one person has the answers to everything. Here, we welcome all sorts of queries with open arms and open minds.
We encourage celebrating, commiserating and championing. We want you to feel comfortable and supported as you openly and honestly share the ups and downs of life as a small business owner or bookkeeper or accountant.

QB Community guidelines
We’ve put together a few community dos and don’ts that reflect our values. We appreciate every community member keeping these in mind.
Do this:
- Be yourself: Each individual is unique and we appreciate that! We encourage you to be your authentic, curious and honest self.
- Tell your story: The more experiences shared, the more the entire community benefits. Whether you’re posting about an entrepreneurial high, struggling with business blues or something in between, let the community hear all of it.
- Share what you know: It’s been said before but there really is no such thing as a dumb question, especially not here! Every question, idea or comment you contribute is a valuable part of our shared learning experience and helps us build our collective knowledge base.
- Accept other points of view: Along the path of building a business it’s guaranteed that you’ll encounter a difference of opinion, strategy or perspective somewhere along the way. We’re committed to maintaining a positive, respectful environment, whether we agree or disagree with someone else’s approach.
- Voice your concerns: If a discussion topic, comment or post upsets you in any way, please reach out to your QB Community hosts straight away. We’re here to ensure your experience in the QB Community is positive and supportive. To bring something to our attention, select the 3 vertical dots next to a question or comment. Then select the option to "Report Inappropriate Content".
Don't do this:
- Engage in an unhealthy debate: All communication needs to be in the spirit of maintaining a safe and supportive community. We don't love (and won't tolerate) antagonistic critiques and personal attacks. If a post, comment or response doesn't help move a conversation in a positive direction, it will be removed.
- Promote your business: We hope you’ll include a link to your business website and social media pages on your profile page. However, your QB Community profile is the only place for you to promote your business. Please don’t market your products or services - no matter how great they are - in any public posts.
- Post sensitive information: Enough said. We value your privacy as much as you do!
- Spread spam: Spam or mass marketing in any form is not permitted. Spam is annoying, intrusive and unprofessional, and it will be deleted immediately. Anyone who posts spam that’s malicious in nature will be permanently banned from the QB Community site.
- Harass others: Our site prohibits members from threatening, abusing or using any kind of insulting or demeaning language. We will not tolerate behaviour towards or about another member that disrupts normal participation in anyway. We also won’t tolerate this kind of communication between members about another member.
- Use profanity: The QB Community is a professional space, so let’s keep it clean. Profanity or language that is otherwise hurtful or offensive is not allowed.
- Promote illegal conduct: Intuit and its related sites (including the QB Community) prohibits the promotion of illegal conduct, activities or fraudulent schemes on the site.
We have some more general dos and don’ts about using this community and all other relevant pages, please refer to the AU Terms of Service. Any violation of the terms of service can result in a corrective action, from a gentle warning to a permanent ban from the community.
Build connections, share stories, learn something new and feel inspired.
