I can help you manage your business information and subscription, sandra-slocum.

 

If you have QuickBooks Self-Employed, a payroll subscription is unavailable for the plan. However, if you wanted to change your company name, you can log in to your Intuit Account using this link and change your company name under Personal infohttps://accounts.intuit.com/

 

On the other hand, if you have QuickBooks Online, you can follow these steps on how to change your company name and cancel your payroll subscription: 

 

  1. Log in to https://qbo.intuit.com/.
  2. Click the Gear icon at the upper-right, click Accounts and settings
  3. From the left menu, click Company
  4. Click the Company name section, change the Company name and click Save
  5. Under Billing & Subscription, select Cancel subscription under QuickBooks Payroll. Follow the onscreen instructions.
  6. Click Done to save changes. 

You'll want to log out and log back in to refresh the system and further check the updates. For more details, you can use this link for more details in changing your business name, contact info, or EIN in QuickBooks Online

 

Let me know if there's anything else that you need help with. Take care!

Hello again, @sandra-slocum.

 

If your page looks like the image below, then you're using QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). That's why you don't have the Account and Settings under the Gear icon. 

 

In QBSE), there is no option to add a business name. Although what you can do is to edit the name of your QBSE account to the business name. Since the name displayed on your account depends on the Name that is set up.

 

To update your personal information, here's how:

  1. Click the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Under About you column, select Intuit Account
  3. Go to Personal Info section, then click Edit on the name. 
  4. Enter your business name and pick Save

However, if you're using QuickBooks Online (QBO). Your page should look like the image below:

 

In which you can follow the steps provided by my colleague @Catherine_B above. 

 

You can get back to me anytime you have additional questions in QuickBooks by posting your response below. I'll do whatever it takes to ensure your concerns are addressed.

I have Quickbooks self employed that we access online. I do not see where I can change the company name

Hi there, sandra-slocum.

 

As my colleague shared above, we're unable to add or change a business name. However, you can modify your QuickBooks Self-Employed account to your company name.

 

You can also check this article that has detailed information on what we can do with QBSE account: QuickBooks Self-Employed Overview.

 

I'll be around if there's anything that I can help. Keep safe!
