They have everything the master admin has, plus some things the master admin doesn't including the ability to a) undo reconciliations and b) batch reclassify

Welcome, @Porterboys and thank you for coming to the QuickBooks Community for assistance. I have some insight on giving your accountant access to pass along.

 

What @Malcolm Ziman said is accurate, your accountant will be able to do everything a master admin can as well as more.

If you have any other questions about this, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always here to help.

Will they be able to see sensitive/confidential information ex. social security numbers of my employees, bank account numbers, bday, addresses etc.?

I'd like to know also if they can see user/admin information (if they have all master control then im assuming yes?) & QB does allow for 2 accountant users, so can the accountants see the other accountants info?

Hello Yerda,

 

Nice to see you in the Community! I will be happy to share some information here. If the user is a regular accountant, they don't have access to make changes to the company file, like removing a user and so forth.  The most they can do is review your books, make corrections and collaborate on any issues. However, if they are admins, they do have full access, as my colleague mentioned. 

 

To answer your second question, regular accountant users don't count towards your usage limit unless you make them a company primary admin or standard user. If they are, then yes, they can see each other information. 

 

Feel free to review this article to get a better picture of what comes with adding accountant users to QuickBooks Online. Let me know if you need further clarification. I will be around to help! Bye for now.
