Can i create a business account (non profit) and personal account with QBO?

Hi there. I've got your back, and I'll share some insights about creating an account in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

I understand that keeping your companies in one account can help you manage them more efficiently. However, in QBO, know that one company file is equivalent to one subscription. You can purchase a new subscription and proceed to create your secondary non-profit or personal account.

If you purchased another subscription and want to add a second company, you can put this company under your existing Intuit ID. This way, you can switch between different business or personal accounts you own to manage them efficiently. I'll input the steps below so you can proceed. To begin, here's how:

 

  1. Open this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/choose-country/.
  2. Select your country and you'll be directed to your region's website.
  3. Choose the version of QuickBooks Online that you need.
  4. Select to Buy Now or start a Free Trial.
  5. Fill in the necessary information on the Create an Intuit account or Sign up page.
  6. Click Sign In or Add another account if you have an existing QBO account and want to use the same credentials. If not, click on Choose a different user ID to create a new one.
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions to continue the process.

 

In addition, I've got you this article to help you set your account to non-profit: Configure an account for a nonprofit organization.

Yes you do. Keep in mind, you should signup for 2 separate QBO accounts.

Can i create a business account (non profit) and personal account with QBO?

I currently have two company accounts with Quickbooks online.  I would like to add my personal checking account as well.  Is there a way to do that without paying for another account since it is a not for profit personal account?

Seeing new members participate in Community discussion excites me, KKRM. Let’s work together to explore various methods for adding your account, ensuring that you can effectively and efficiently track both your personal and business activities. By finding the right approach, we can help you streamline your financial management, making it easier to keep everything organized.

 

Generally, it's good business practice to avoid mixing business and personal expenditures. In line with this, I'll clarify a few things to help effectively manage your accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO). May I know if you want to add a different account or company? If you do, please note that each company file requires its subscription. In that case, you would need to purchase a separate plan to set up a new account for your personal checking account. 

You can visit this link to learn more about the different plans and pricing available: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing/#pricing 

      

However, if you meant adding the checking account to one of your existing companies, we can do that by connecting it. This approach allows you to complete the process without needing a new subscription. It will enable you to manage your finances alongside your business accounts without incurring extra costs.

 

I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process:  

 

  1. Go to the Transactions menu and choose Bank transactions.
  2. Click the Link account button. 
  3. Enter the URL or name of your bank in the Search field, then select the bank.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
  5. Choose Connect, then Done.

 

I'll add this article for more info: Connect bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks Online

Whether you need guidance on the steps involved, best practices for account management, or tips for optimizing your use of QBO. Your understanding and comfort with the platform are important, and I'm happy to provide the information you need. Keep safe and have a great rest of the week!
