[Feature Request] Add accountant in quickbooks self-employed Canada

After talking with the Quickbooks support staff it appears that the feature of adding an accountant is not available in the Canadian version.

 

"unfortunatelly, for the Canada Region, is not possible to add the accountant to the QuickBooks Self-Employed accounts. "

 

This is a very important feature, please add this feature soon (before tax season would be great). This way the Canadian version will reach parity with the other regions.

[Feature Request] Add accountant in quickbooks self-employed Canada

Hi there,

 

New product ideas and improvements are largely based on the feedback we get from users like you. 
 

I'll be happy to send your feedback to our product developers. Since there's no estimated time-frame of when this feature will be available, I encourage you to also send feedback by clicking the Gear icon and looking for Feedback. Doing this will allow for our engineers to directly contact you with updates about your feature request. 

 

Let me know if you have questions. If you need support regarding your account, please contact our support team using this link here

Thanks for the quick response!

 

"I encourage you to also send feedback by clicking the Gear icon and looking for Feedback."

 

Great idea, only thing is I don't see "Feedback" when clicking on the Gear icon (I've included a screenshot of what I can see in that menu).

Hi again luctrudeau,

 

Thank you for your response. To submit feedback in Self-Employed, the steps are slightly different. Simply click on the Assistant icon in the top-right and type in "submit feedback" then select Add a feature. You'll be able to send your comments directly to our engineering team, which helps us focus on the features you want most.

 

 

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Hello CEonIQ,

 

Having an accountant on your side is a great way to ensure the integrity of your books and give you confidence when it comes to tax time. QuickBooks Self-Employed is a good tool keeping track of your invoices, expenses, and tax calculations. I can see how being able to have an accountant double-check those entries would be beneficial.

 

Like my colleagues above, I encourage you to submit feedback about wanting to have the ability to connect with an accountant. If you need the steps again, all it takes is going to the Assistant feature and typing submit feedback. Choose the Feature request option from the prompts. We love hearing from customers about the way we can enhance the program to help you manage your books.

 

Since being able to work with an accountant is so important to you right now, you could consider switching to QuickBooks Online. Whether you choose the EasyStart, Essentials, or Plus package, each has the option to add two accountant users. I'll leave you with a couple links below so you can learn more about user types and how QuickBooks Online works. The one thing to keep in mind if you wanted to use QuickBooks Online is that you would be making a switch and starting fresh in the program. The two don't have the ability to transfer data between one another.

 

Here are those links I mentioned.

I'm available should you have more questions. Don't be afraid to ask!

Hi there timclyfi,

 

Thanks for reaching out about adding your accountant. QuickBooks Self-Employed is a great tool able to help you create invoices for customers as well as keep track of your expenses and mileage. I can provide some information about inviting an accountant.

 

At this time there isn't the ability to invite an accountant that uses QuickBooks Online accountant to have access to your QuickBooks Self-Employed account. I can see that this would be a feature that you'd like to see to help give access to your accountant. I recommend leaving feedback in the system by clicking on the assistant feature, then typing Submit Feedback. The comments made in that section are taken into consideration when designing new features for the software.

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.

What's the point of leaving feeback, when people were asking for his feature almost 4 years ago? This feedback is clearly worthless to QB.
If it was something QB was going to do, it would be done.
Waste of time, and a useless program. Switching to Xero.
