Currently, the home currency setting cannot be changed in QuickBooks Self-Employed, Sole Trader, and Simple Start. Consider upgrading to QuickBooks Essentials, Plus, or Advanced if you need the ability to switch currencies.

My currency sign changed from U.S. Dollar to English pound sign

Hello there, 123478.

The currency for your QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account is based on the country you select during the setup, and all transactions and reports are tied to that default currency. That's why changing to a different one is unavailable.

May I ask how you managed to switch from U.S. dollars to British pounds, or what specific challenges you experienced during the process? Additionally, could you confirm which QuickBooks product you're currently using? This will allow me to provide more precise assistance.

If it's confirmed that you're using QBSE, it's possible that you might be logged into a different account, which could be the reason why the currency is displayed in British pounds instead of U.S dollars.

In case you need help with categorizing your transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed, you can refer to this article: Categorise transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed. This will help guide you on how to report your self-employed income and expenses.

Let me know you're referring to something else or if you have any questions or concerns when changing currencies. We'll always be right here ready to assist you further
