I am trying to help a friend clean up their books. I did not know exactly what I was getting into. The prior bookkeeper was managing four separate businesses under one set of QuickBooks. They have shared charts of accounts, shared customers, venders etc. I have already started creating each of them their own set of books. Is there any easy way to move invoices and to link payments back to them?
Unfortunately there is no an easy way. You can use a 3rd party migration tool to speed up the process. It;s a one time license.

Hi there, @Cobbs.
I want to ensure you can split those multiple companies on your QuickBooks Desktop.
I'd also agree with what 4Gal has recommended above. You'll want to consider using a third-party app to separate those companies. Check the Apps Center and pick one that matches your needs.
Here's how:
As for which app you can use, although we're unable to recommend which ones to use, you can view an app's rating (stars at the bottom of the app's name). You can also open the app's page and read the user's comments on the app in question. This should give you a general idea of whether an app meets your company's standards.
Moreover, you can visit this article to learn how to manage your data with QBDT: Import and export data in QuickBooks Desktop.
Let me know how else I can help you organize your company by commenting below. I'll always be ready to assist you. Stay healthy and hydrated.
Are the businesses sole proprietorships or ??? Do the businesses have separate bank accounts at least? Did the previous bookkeeper use classes or anything to differentiate the transactions between Co. A, B, C, and D? Using a 3rd party importer will help but it won't do you any good if you can't determine which transactions go with which company.
