Hi Sarah.
It's great to see you managing two companies in QuickBooks Online (QBO). You're correct that you'll have to get a new QBO account for the second company, especially when both have separate company data.
Also, you can associate them with your existing company using the same login credentials to give you easy access by switching QBO accounts.
Here's how:
- Visit this page https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing/ and choose a plan.
- On the Sign-in page that appears, enter your email address.
- Click the Create a new company button.
- Follow the prompts to finish creating the account.
Please check this article for more details about adding another QBO company file: Create or add another company file to QuickBooks Online.
Once you've created the account, you can quickly switch between companies. I'm adding this guide for more information: Switch between company files in QuickBooks Online.
