Removing a user that does not appear in the Admin window

Hello,

 

I have a former employee (accountant that I need to be removed as a user). He initially set up the software and is no longer with the company. 

We have an integration with another software and all transaction has his name as the initial setup. However, I noted about two weeks ago there was a sign in and sign out. Which means he has unauthorized access. 

Any advise?

Removing a user that does not appear in the Admin window

We acknowledge the risk of having someone access your company file even if they are no longer part of your team, Knowledge2. No worries, I'm here to ensure we can remove that individual from your company users in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To delete and remove the access of the accountant from your QBO company file, kindly follow the steps below:

 

  1. Open your QBO account as a primary admin.
  2. Go to the Gear icon and choose Manage users.
  3. Select the Accountants tab.
  4. Click the ellipsis︙icon under the Action column on the accountant's name. Then, choose Delete.
  5. Confirm the deletion by selecting Delete from the pop-up window.

However, if your subscription is under the accountant's wholesale billing, please reach out to them to remove your company from their plan. This way, you can manage your account securely and remove their accessibility.

Who is the Primary Admin? You or your former accountant?
