Add accountant users

Learn how to add accountant users in QuickBooks Online.

With access to your company, your accountant can review your books, make corrections, and help with any issues. Your accountant can change the balances of accounts, change the names of transactions, and write off invoices. They can also use accountant-specific tools to help you prepare for taxes.

Tip: If you need to add more than 2 accountant firms for your company, consider upgrading to QuickBooks Online Advanced.

Note: Regular accountant users don't count toward your usage limit if you use the Invite firm function. They’ll count if you invite them as a primary admin or regular users. Here’s how to add and manage them in QuickBooks Online.
