I've checked our records and there's no reported case where accountants not receiving an email invitation. We appreciate you for performing some troubleshooting steps to get this resolved.
To avoid invitations being flagged as spam, we can add Intuit's email server hostnames to the allowed list. If they haven't received your email invitation, it's possible that their mail servers are blocking emails from Intuit. You can request that they add the QuickBooks Online email server hostnames and IP addresses to their email provider's allow list so that their invitation is not flagged as spam. For more information, see this article: What to do if invited users did not receive your email invitation in QuickBooks Online.
If the same thing happens, I recommend contacting our Customer Care team. They'll be able to access your account in a safe environment and look into what's causing this problem. Here's how it's done:

Try a different email address. Does the same problem persist?
I am having the same issues! Clients are sending me the emails, however I am not receiving them! I have been on with QuickBooks all day and still no resolve. They keep saying the same textbook response!!
I can completely understand your frustration. Let's make sure you'll be able to receive the email invitation from your client, equitus.
Email is very important for communication. This allows users to send information that is necessary for business. Aside from that, emails are more beneficial for communication because they can often include text, documents, and multimedia.
There are several factors why you're not getting emails from your clients. If you've already checked your junk or spam folder and are unable to locate the invitation, the company’s email address may be incorrectly formatted in Company settings.
You'll want to check from the Account and Settings page if the email was entered in the correct format. To do so, you can follow the steps outlined below:
Another reason that may also affect the email issues is that this will usually expire after 48 hours from the time it was sent to you. You'll have to make sure that you'll be able to receive the invitation within the given time. You can let your client resend the email and check if you'll be able to receive it.
To learn more about what you can do so you'll be able to receive email invitations from your clients, you can read this article. Then go through each step outlined so you can follow the process one by one: What To Do If Invited Users Did Not Receive Your Email Invitation In QuickBooks Online.
However, if the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to our support team so they can investigate further. They have the tools to pull up your account in a secure environment and check what's the root cause. Aside from they have the capability to handle complicated issues, and it's much quicker for them to send a report if it's necessary.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions when accepting the invitation. Remember, we're here to make sure you get covered.
Same useless bucket message!
So does Quickbooks continue to pretend this problem isn't happening. Who are giving these terrible answeres that presume it's user error vs an issue with QB's system. The person who said they looked to see if any problems are reported really didn't have anything helpful. This is a real problem for not just this person, but me as well. I've done all the checks explained here and my email is fine and nothing is going to Spam. Invites are resent to no avail and we are stuck in limbo with no accountant access to the books.
I've had two clients recently not be able to send it to me at all. This is still a prevalent issue. Whoever has something offer here, please do not repeat the same canned responses the previous people have provided. Please, work to find why we are experiencing these issues and presume the problem may be with Quickbooks instead of the user. That would be a nice change in this caase.
We value your time and want this sorted out for you, GratefulDawg.

Thank you for being part of this discussion, Lauren.
Before we proceed, may I know if you've already tried the resolutions provided above? For example, have your accountants checked their spam folder, added Intuit’s email server hostnames to their allowed list, or accepted the invitation before it expired? It will also help to double-check the email address you entered or try sending the invitation to a different email.
