Create groups to run multi-company reporting in Spreadsheet Sync

Learn how to create groups to run multi-company reporting in Spreadsheet Sync.

In QuickBooks Online Advanced or Accountant, you can organise your companies by creating groups in Spreadsheet Sync. You can then use the grouped companies to run consolidated reports in spreadsheets. 

Accessing Spreadsheet Sync

The following user types can access Spreadsheet Sync:

• Primary Admin
• Company Admin
• Standard (All access)

The following parameters apply to Accountant users:

• Team members must have been provided client access.
• Only clients with Advanced SKUs can use Spreadsheet Sync.
• An Accountant user is considered a Company Admin on their client's company, thus all Accountant users should be able to access Spreadsheet Sync within a client's Advanced file.
