How do I set up different businesses on our quickbooks account?

We have three businesses and personal finances, do we need separate quickbooks accounts for these or can I add businesses to quickbooks?

How do I set up different businesses on our quickbooks account?

It's great to have you here, @jeffrey-coats-co.

 

Let me guide you in setting up your QuickBooks account.

 

You'll need to sign-up for a new QuickBooks Online account to create another account for your business. One company file is equivalent to one subscription especially if each business has separate Tax reporting. This way you can generate separate expense and other financial report for it. 

 

If you want to put this company under your existing Intuit ID, log into your current company when creating a new account. Simply click on the Add another company button when creating another account.

 

Here's how to add a second account:

  1. Visit https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing/
  2. Choose Buy Now or Start Free 30-Day Trial.
  3. Select a product (Simple Start, Essentials, Advanced or Plus).
  4. Click Buy Now or Try it free to subscribe to QuickBooks Online.
  5. Enter your login information and follow the on-screen prompts to set up the second company.
    • If it prompts you that this email address is already taken, select Already have an account? Sign in.
  6. Enter your existing Intuit email address and password.

Once completed, you can go ahead and click the Gear icon at the top to Switch Company. For more information, you can refer to these articles:

One QBO account is for one company file. You may manage branches/divisions by utilizing the Class/Location feature available in QBO Plus and Advanced. Otherwise you should open a new account.

As another option, consider switching to QBD. You may purchase a one time license to manage multi company files.

Thanks for joining the thread, @Damonsherard.

 

It's nice to see you in the Community. I'd be happy to help share some information about adding another business to your account.

 

You can sign up for a new QuickBooks Online (QBO) account using the same login credentials.

 

Here's how to subscribe to another company:

 

1. Go to: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/online/.

2. Choose the version of QuickBooks that best fits your business.

3. You can buy now or sign up for a 30-day free trial.

4. Since you already have an account with Intuit, select the Add another company? located at the top of the screen.

5. Enter your Email Address (User ID) and Password.

6. Select Add new company.

 

To switch between companies:

 

1. Click the Gear icon on the upper right corner.

2. Select Switch Company on the fourth column.

 

I've also added these articles for the detailed steps on how to add another company and create sales transactions in QuickBooks: 

 

• Create or add another company.

• Create invoices

• Create and send a sales receipt

 

There you have it! The Community has your back, so please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Wishing you well.
