We're glad to have you in the Community, Intrepid7. I can help you change your company name in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
To rename the company file that you see on top of the screen on your QBDT account, follow the steps below:
- First, let's Back up your QuickBooks company file.
- In QuickBooks, check the location of the company file.
- While on the Home page, press F2 or Ctrl+1 to open the Product Information window.
- Note the location listed in the File Information field.
- Go to the location specified.
- Right-click the Windows Start button and select File Explorer.
- Then, right-click the file and select Rename. The file name may appear as [CompanyName].qbw or just [CompanyName].
- Change the file name and press Enter.
- Finally, select Yes to confirm the action.
After this, we can set up QuickBooks Desktop to use the new company file name. Please refer to the steps below:
- From the QuickBooks File menu, select Open or Restore an existing company.
- Select Open a company file and click Next.
- Select the newly renamed company file and click Open.
