I need to email a backup of the company to mt accountant

There are two options to send a backup file to your accountant, anzley.

The first option is to create a QuickBooks portable company (.qbm) file. It's a condensed copy of your company data that you can send by email. Here's how to create a portable copy.

1. Go to File menu and choose Create copy.
2. Select Portable company file. Then, Next.
3. Choose a location/folder where you want to save the file.
4. Click Save and OK.

Once done, you can attach the file and send it via email or any media like a flash drive. Another option is to send it through QuickBooks using the Accountant's Copy File Transfer (ACFT) service. Though, this is applicable if your accountant is using QuickBooks Desktop for Accountants. You'll need to remove the accountant's copy restriction first before you can perform this process.

Here's how to create an Accountant's copy:

1. Go to File menu and select Send Company File.
2. Choose the Accountant's Copy. Then, Client Activities.
3. Select Send to Accountant. Then, Next.
4. Enter the dividing date. Then, Next.
5. Enter your accountant' email address, your name, and your email address.
6. For security, you'll need to create and reenter a file transfer password.
7. Click Send.
