Quickbooks Desktop

Welcome aboard to the Community, FredW2.

In QuickBooks Desktop, there’s no limit in creating a company file. Instead of resetting the one you’re currently using, add a new data file for the actual business.
Here’s how:

1. Open your QuickBooks.
2. In the No Company Open screen, choose the Create a new company option.
3. This will take you to the QuickBooks Desktop Setup page.
4. Pick how you wish to set up the desktop program.
       *Express Start or Start Setup if you want to get started right away. You only need to enter your business name, industry, and business type to create your company file.
       *Detailed Start if you want to do a complete setup so all of your info is in from the start.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
