I understand that the software needs to accommodate your business needs, Chet, especially in adding a bookkeeper to your QuickBooks Online (QBO).
I'm here to give updates on the issue of the greyed-out Invite button when sending an invite to your bookkeeper's email.
In QBO, you can usually add up to two accounting firms to manage your books, and the Invite button being inactive or greyed out is an ongoing issue our product engineers are aware of and are working on resolving. Although there's no specific time frame for the fix, I'd encourage contacting our Support Team to add you to the list of affected users and be updated once resolved. Here's how:
1. In your QBO account, go to Help (?).
2. Select either of these tabs:
- Assistant tab and type Talk to a human.
- Search tab and click on Contact us to connect with a support expert.
3. Choose how you want to reach us (phone or chat).
For future reference, I'm adding this article as a guide on accountant tools and programs your accountant can utilize: Use accountant tools and features in QuickBooks Online Accountant.
