I know how to edit your business name in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), @vhinds.

 

The business name in QBSE depends on the personal information you've entered into the system. Please ensure to select the Personal info tab instead. This way, you can modify your business details in the Name section.

 

Please see the screenshot below for a visual guide:

 

If you want to edit the company name on your invoice, you can follow the answer outlined by my peer above. I've added a screenshot too for your reference:

Then, you can log out and log back into your account to refresh the changes. 

 

In case you'll want to edit the company name in the invoice. Here's how:

Where is Business Name listed in this setting? I clicked into the following and did not see Business Name to edit:

  • User ID
  • Email address
  • Password
  • Phone
  • etc.

Nice of you to join this thread, @steelpulse229.

 

I appreciate you for going through the steps shared by my peers above.

 

The option to set or change a business name in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) is currently unavailable. 

 

The business name of your QBSE account depends on the details you've entered in your Personal info tab. If you want to change your account name, you'll want to change it in the Name section.

 

To be guided, you can follow the steps provided by my colleague above. Additionally, I've collected these resources that you can read to learn about how QBSE works and file your tax
 

 

You can always count on me if you need more help with your QBSE account. I'm only a few clicks away from you.

How can this be "unavailable"? This results in very unprofessional looking invoices with "User Name's Company" in the "from" section. This is a basic feature that any invoicing package should include...especially one made by a billion dollar company that costs several hundred dollars per year.

 

This is unacceptable.

Thanks for joining us, @jmbaute.

 

I'll share some information about changing your company name. The company name displayed in your QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account is the name you used to set up your Intuit account. You can update it by following these steps:

 

  1. Sign in to QBSE.
  2. Go to Settings ⚙, then select Intuit Account to open the Intuit Account Manager.
  3. Choose the Personal info tab. Then update the First name and Last name.
  4. Click Save.

 

However, if you're referring to the company name on the invoice, you can manually update it at any time. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Invoices tab.
  2. Take Create Invoice.
  3. Select the Edit work info link.
  4. From there, update the Name field with the desired description.
  5. Click Save. See the images below.

 

 

 

 

With the above steps, you're able to update your invoice details. 

 

I'm also attaching this link to help you manage QBSE-related tasks. Feel free to browse: View all help for QBSE.

 

Keep me posted if you have follow-up questions or concerns with invoices or your QBSE account. I'll be around for you. Take care and have a great day ahead.

I was having the same issue and followed this thread to the solution. My unsolicited opinion? This is just a UX error, or poor UX decision. Placing the "edit work info" link in a more prominent position would help, but really you want to move that link to the "preview" page, as this is likely where the user first notices (and is unhappy with) "FirstName LastName's Company." Or have it in both locations. Hope this helps.
