My CPA is AWOL and now i cant get into QBO

If I am not an admin of the account myself (I'm a business partner that has some access level, but not full admin), what recourse do I have to get our financial data so we can do our taxes and bookkeeping.  The account was part of a wholesale account, apparently, so I can't even update the payment method to reinstate it.

 

What happens if the CPA dies or something?  Is there a legal way to gain power of attorney over the account?

Can you sign in as a Company Admin? Your accountant must access it as the Primary Admin.

The only option that seems to be available is to contact the CPA.  I keep getting redirected to the same page no matter how I log in...

 

Is there a separate URL for admins that I could try?  I can't even click the gear icon or anything and the account is on hold since he apparently stopped making payments.

Hello @HLXAW,

 

Welcome to the Community space. I can provide some information to help you access your QuickBooks Online account.

 

Yes, you're right. You'll need to contact the accountant who handled the wholesale account. There's no separate URL for the admins. 

Your accountant needs to change the primary admin access to exclude your company from the wholesale subscription. If you can't reach out to the previous accountant, you can send a request to our account protection team.

 

Check out this link for the detailed instruction: Request to be the primary admin or contact.

If you're having issues with the process, contact our QuickBooks Support Team. They'll be able to assist further by checking your account and reviewing the available options to get you back on track.

 

Our support for Plus, Essentials, Simple Start is available from 6 AM - 6 PM PT (Monday - Friday) and 6 AM - 3 PM PT (Saturday). For Advanced, any time, any day.

 

Here's how you can reach them:

 

  1. Click the Help tab in the upper-right corner.
  2. Go to the Assistant tab.
  3. Click Get help from a human.
  4. Choose Chat with us or Have us call you.

 

You must be able to sign in as the primary admin to transfer the primary admin role. I have an article here that will serve as a reference if you need to transfer a role to an existing user in the future: Change the primary admin user in QuickBooks Online.

 

Please reach out if you have additional questions about the information above or managing user roles. I'll be here to lend a hand.

So I submitted the form, but I realize I screwed it up.  I submitted all of the docs, but the email correspondence about the submission is apparently going to the old AWOL CPA not me.  I think I'm going to have to call customer service on this...  maybe then I'll actually get traction.  I wish there was a preview of what the final page of that form looks like before you can't go back and change stuff. It's kind of misleading.
