Advertisements

I would also feel the same way, Sam. I understand how bothering it would be when ads are showing up while working on relevant tasks. 

Allow me to share insights about turning off or stopping advertisements from showing in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

These pop-up notifications are designed to suggest and guide you on how to improve your QuickBooks experience. Currently, there isn't an integrated way to turn off pop-up advertisements in QBO. In the meantime, let's consider clicking X or No thanks button to close them.

While these in-product advertisements no longer help your working experience, I recommend sending this feature request to our product developers. They may consider your suggestion and include them in our future product updates.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback under Profile.
2. Describe how an option to turn off pop-up ads helps you work efficiently in QuickBooks.
3. Select Next to submit.

Moreover, you can visit this article to guide you in supervising your business with these step-by-step videos: Learn about QuickBooks Online with how-to videos. Also, it contains steps on managing your company's finances.

Let us know if you have additional queries while working with QBO. We'll be glad to have you back here. Take care!

This drives me nuts too.

Workaround:

I set up uBlock Origin on Chrome as an ad blocker and that has helped out to remove a lot of the ads:

I totally agree with you.  They are invading professional's valuable work time as we constantly have to close their advertisements.  This should not be allowed; with over 100 customers I have to close these ridiculous advertisements hundreds of times.  I will be searching or a new software, they have stepped over a line.

The ads keep getting worse. Now it's EVERY SINGLE TIME I open a customer, there's an ad that takes up two vertical inches of my screen, that needs to be closed before I can see what's on their account. When I'm doing collections work, that works out to more than once a minute. No. I don't want to subscribe to your payroll service, or your online payments, or anything else that you want to sell me. The same ads OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I just told you two minutes ago that I don't want it, don't ask again! And soon I won't be using your service anymore because I'm just that fed up.
