Accountant Center in QBD not refreshing

I recently upgraded to QB Accountant Desktop 2023.  The Accountant Center will not refresh after I've reconciled an account.  I click on the 'Refresh' button, but nothing happens.  I have to completely close and reopen the Accountant Center, and then the correct balance and recon date info appears.  Is there some setting I'm missing that enables the 'refresh' command?

Accountant Center in QBD not refreshing

Hi there, davetodd.

 

I'm here to help make sure you're able to refresh the Accountant Center in QuickBooks Desktop Accountant 2023.

 

Let's isolate this issue by utilizing the Verify Data tool. It identifies known issues within company files and informs users if their Rebuild Data utility needs to be used afterwards.
 

Here's how it's used:
 

  1. Click Window, then Close All.
  2. In your top menu bar, go to File.
  3. Choose Utilities.
  4. Select Verify Data.

If its results show a "Your data has lost integrity," message, this indicates there's damage in your file. You can use the Rebuild Data utility to fix it.


For future reference, check out this article to learn more about the reconciliation process in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'm always here to listen and guide you more if you have additional concerns while managing the Accountant Center. Take care!

The ‘Verify Data’ process found no issues.  Problem seems to be with the program - not the company file - as it is the same with all my company files.  Any other suggestions?

I appreciate you following my colleague's solution and sharing the result, davetodd.

 

Let's perform another one to get the Accountant Center working back to normal. The QuickBooks Tool Hub is a utility that can fix common errors and issues encountered while using the desktop program.  I'm here to help and guide you on how to lodge it.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Be sure to close your QuickBooks.
  2. Then, download the latest version of the QuickBooks Tool Hub (1.6.0.0).
  3. Save it where you can easily find it.
  4. Next, open the QuickBooksToolHub.exe link.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
  6. Next, double-click the icon on your desktop to access the tool hub.

 

Here's an article that goes over the process and functions of each launchpad: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

 

I also included a link where you can access our online resources. It covers topics like account management, using Advanced accounting tools, managing banking-related tasks, and other accounting activities.

 

Reach out to me again if you have other concerns about QuickBooks or additional questions about the Accountant Center. I'm always willing to help in any way I can. Enjoy your weekend.

I neglected to mention it, but while carrying out the original suggestion, I did update my QB Tool Hub to the 1.6 version and ran the Fix Program utilities.  Still no luck.

I'm having his issue too, and have been for several weeks. I use Quickbooks on my personal computer, and the server I log into for work, and none of the programs will update the accountant center after hitting refresh. It's terribly annoying.

This is an issue with the program and it is prolific, affecting many customers.  The troubleshooting that is being recommended here is a complete waste of the customer's time as it is not within their systems or there data files.  Please speak with the engineers so that an update can occur that will resolve this - this issue is affecting 2021, 2022, 2023 software.... I have multiple clients within my accounting practice and clients are reporting this same issue.... appears to have started manifesting many months back after an update occurred.

I am also having this issue.  It's not a problem with the data, but within the software itself.  The Refresh "button" does nothing.  The only way to have any changes reflected in the Accountant's Center is to close and re-open it (not QB itself, only the AC window), but very annoying when not realizing this and you're looking at cash balances that don't make any sense.  Please correct this.
