I'm in Quickbooks hell. Maybe this will help? I've tried everything else.

I am going through Quickbooks hell right now. Our firm had 4 partners, one of which left and the other we fired. The fired one (fired for cause) had taken the primary admin role of our account. I've been trying for THREE WEEKS to get the primary admin role moved to me. I've been on the phone with QB support staff for countless hours of time that I DO NOT HAVE while I'm trying to run a business and service clients. And the cherry on top is that yesterday QB decided to disable our payments account with the approx $24k of funds now "on hold." Funds that I need to process payroll next week.

 

So TLDR - a company that bills itself as a "solution" for small businesses is in fact the one thing that is completely hobbling my business right now. 

 

Here's what I need: 

1. Primary admin role granted to me. 

2. Funds disbursed to our bank account or QB checking. Whatever, just release them. Or send them back to the pay

 

Also, does anyone else find it interesting that QB requires all kinds of documentation (letters from partners, govt issued IDs, operating agreements) to change the lousy roles on the account - BUT does not seem to have these same reqs in place for taking out term loans? Our fired partner was able to take out two QB loans without our knowledge, which we are on the hook for paying. How does this make any sense to require documentation for one purpose but not the other? 

 

Would a letter from our lawyer documenting the former partner's abuses help get QB to get its act together?

Can you still access your account as a Company Admin?

Gaining access to your account and lifting your on-hold funds are equally important so you can process your payroll right away, CAW3. Allow me to route you in the right direction to resolve this issue.

 

To begin with, you'll need to submit the required documents to protect your account and data. We must verify that you're the rightful owner of the account. For more details on the documentation needed, please visit this article: Request to be the primary admin or contact.

 

I'm aware you've already reached out to our support team, and working closely with them is the best action at this time. They possess all the tools to securely examine your account and accurately determine how to lift the on-hold funds and regain access to your account.

 

Here's how:

  3. Select Contact Us.
  4. Enter your concern: Let's talk.
  5. Choose a way to connect with us: Start a chat, Get a callback, Ask the Community.

 

After transferring the admin rights in QuickBooks, you can now manage users to grant access to your company. This way, they can help you perform tasks for your business.

 

If you have more questions in mind regarding access to your account and lifting your on-hold funds, feel free to leave a reply. I'm always around to answer your queries. Keep safe.

CAW3 here. For some reason I can’t sign in anymore because Community is as flawed and janky as the other QB product.

 

This response from a QB bot is insulting and enraging. I’ve tried everything it outlines, many multiples of times. It feels like my only recourse at this point is to complain loudly and publicly until someone at QB fixes my problem. I was told this week that they have an “unusually high volume” right now. I’m sorry, 1) so do I! And I can’t do what I need to bc QB is hobbling me. And 2) maybe, just maybe QB should consider investing in real customer service where people actually know the product. Apple is a great model - I’ve had wonderful, problem-solving interactions with their customer service very recently. In the meantime please fix my issue!!!!!!
