I can see how these ads disrupt your focus while working on your business tasks, @circulation. I'm happy to discuss the steps for turning off advertisements in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
To start off, the pop-up notifications and ads are meant to provide suggestions and tips for enhancing your QuickBooks experience. However, a built-in feature to turn off pop-up ads is unavailable in the QBO settings in the current update. As an alternative, you can close them manually by clicking the X or No thanks button to dismiss them.
In the meantime, I suggest checking out our blog to stay updated on the latest improvements, features, and news about QuickBooks Online: The QuickBooks Blog.
Additionally, you can refer to this article for more insights on managing your business with QBO: Help articles for QuickBooks Online. It covers various topics such as banking, advanced accounting, and payments, among others.
If you have any further questions or encounter challenges with other concerns in QuickBooks Online, please feel free to reach out. I'm here to help. Have a productive day!
