Is there a way to generate a generic chart of accounts in QBO like you can in QB desktop?

Hi there, 

 

Your Chart of Accounts is where you'll go to see a list of all your accounts in QuickBooks Online. This list of liability, asset, expense, payroll accounts and more, can be customized to suit your business needs, or left as it is for a general overview of the various accounts you'll need. 

 

When you create a new QuickBooks Online account, the Chart of Accounts is automatically generated based on the information you provide at the time of set-up. There may be differences in your Chart of Accounts based on the business type or currency you select. 

 

The beauty of QuickBooks Online is that certain accounts can be made inactive if you don't wish to use them. Simply click Accounting > Chart of Accounts > click the drop-down menu next to the account you'd like to remove > Make inactive. 

 

If you'd like to add an account that's not already generated in QuickBooks Online, click Accounting > Chart of AccountsNew. 

 

For more information about the Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks Online, click here: Add to or edit the Chart of Accounts

 

I hope this gets you back on track. Let me know if you have any other questions. 

 

Cheers.
