Combine reports from multiple companies using Spreadsheet Sync in QuickBooks Online Advanced

by Intuit Updated 6 months ago

Learn how to combine reports from multiple QuickBooks Online Advanced companies using Spreadsheet Sync. 

Combining the reports gives you a more organised view of your companies' financial behaviour.

​​Before you combine reports

  • Make your chart of accounts in each company file identical as much as possible. Account names aren’t case-sensitive.
    • Accounts get combined if they have the same name, the same type, and are at the same hierarchical level in each report.
  • Accounts won’t get combined if:
    • They’re at different levels, such as a subaccount with a main account
    • They have spelling differences, such as “phone” and “telephone”
    • They have different account numbers
    • One account has an account number, but the other account doesn’t
