Settings you can edit
Here's a quick overview of the settings and features you can adjust.
Company
The Company tab is where you can view and edit your company name, address, contact info, or Companies House Registration Number (CRN). For more information, see Update company info in QuickBooks Online page. You can also adjust your Intuit marketing preferences.
Billing & Subscription
The Billing & Subscription tab is where you can find your company ID, update your payment method, upgrade or downgrade your QuickBooks Online subscription, and even resubscribe.
Sales
The Sales tab is where you can customise your sales forms, set payment terms, and decide what info shows up on forms for customers. This is also where you turn on features like progress invoicing and automatic reminders.
Expenses
The Expenses tab is where you can turn on billable expenses and purchase orders, and customise your email messages sent out with purchase orders.
Time
The Time tab is where you can set the first day of the work week, track services your team performed when working for a client, and decide whether employees and suppliers see how much you charge clients for their work.
Advanced
This is where you turn on advanced features in QuickBooks. Not all are on by default. For example, you can turn on categories to track products and services a certain way. This is also where you set the beginning and end of your business's financial year. If your company deals with multiple currencies, you can also turn on that feature here.
