Switching Accountants

We currently get Quickbooks Online through our accountant - it is part of our monthly bill to him.

We want to switch accountants, but want to keep all our Quickbooks accounting and customer data as it is.

Is there a way to switch our Quickbooks account to be direct from Intuit, rather than paying through our accountant?

Switching Accountants

You have to ask your accountant to transfer the Primary Admin role to you as the first step. If they refuse to do so, Intuit won't bother getting involved in your dispute.You can purchase a 3rd party service to secure your core data and migrate it to your new QBO account as a workaround.

We're delighted to have you in the Community space today, @kimber2.

 

We recognize the urgency of this matter and want to ensure we're providing you with the necessary information needed to transfer the monthly subscription billing from your accountant back to you. Please know that you'll want to inform your accountant so they can remove you from their ProAdvisor discount plan and transfer the Primary admin access back to you.

 

Once done, you'll then head to your Accounts and settings and update the billing information. Feel free to visit this article for further details: Manage billing, payment, and subscription info in QuickBooks Online.

If you're ready to add your new accountant to your company, these are the steps:

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as a primary admin.
  2. On the top-right corner, click the Gear icon and then select Manage users.
  3. Select the Accountants or Accounting firms tab.
  4. Enter your accountant’s email address, then select Invite.

To learn more about the process, please see this page: Add accountant users in QuickBooks Online.

 

Moreover, we recommend checking these articles to help you keep track of all your transactions and learn how you can add more details to your business reports inside QBO:

 

 

You can inform us anytime if you have other specific tasks you'd like to complete inside QuickBooks or if you need assistance managing your monthly billing subscriptions. We'll be here to help you out again. It's been a pleasure to have you here today. Have a nice day!
