QBO account switch from Accountant to Simple Start

I have a client who created a new QBO account, but set himself up in the Accountant platform instead one of the paywall accounts. He's already set up bank feeds and other entries. Also created his vendors as clients, so there's that too. He doesn't need anything more than Simple Start at this time.

 

How do I get his account converted to Simple Start? Hoping we don't have to recreate everything in a new account.

QBO account switch from Accountant to Simple Start

Hello there, @Swordbooks.

 

I'd be glad to share some information about switching subscriptions in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Changing a subscription can be done in your QuickBooks account. Here's how

 

  1. Select Settings ⚙ and then Account and settings.
  2. Select the Billing & Subscription tab.
  3. Make sure your payment info is up to date.
  4. In the QuickBooks Online section, select Downgrade your plan.
    Note: If downgrading from QuickBooks Online Advanced, you'll be prompted to give us a call so we can walk you through the process.
  5. Review the available plans and then select Choose plan.
  6. Follow the onscreen steps to downgrade your plan.

 

You can check this article for more details: Upgrade or downgrade your QuickBooks Online edition.
