Can you help to careat a new account of accounts receivable?

Yes, Alicia. I'd be happy to guide you through the process of creating a new Accounts Receivable (A/R) account.

 

First off, it's important to note that QuickBooks automatically sets up a few standard accounts in the chart of accounts, including an A/R account, based on your business entity. If you need to add another one, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Chart of accounts.

  5. Fill in the other necessary fields, then hit Save.

 

Additionally, I'll share this resource to help you organize your accounts in QuickBooks Online (QBO), making it easier to navigate and find specific ones when needed: Use account numbers.

 

If you have other questions or need further assistance about adding accounts in QBO, please don't hesitate to ask. We'll be here to respond.
