Hello there, Tom. Thanks for sharing your concern in detail. I'm here to help clarify how to set up QuickBooks for your company, which is registered in a different country.
Since you've already set up a QuickBooks Essentials account in the US, I recommended that you subscribe to a UAE-based QuickBooks Online (QBO) account instead. This ensures that the software is configured to handle the address formats, tax requirements, and other regional settings specific to your location.
To create a new account, here's how:
- Open this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/choose-country/.
- Choose the country you want to subscribe to.
- Select whether to subscribe now or use a 30-day free trial and the type of subscription you will be using.
- Click Add another company, then enter your existing Intuit login credentials.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the account.
Once established, you can proceed to move your existing list of data to the new account. While certain transactions may require manual reentry due to import limitations, transferring the bulk of your data will facilitate a seamless transition to the new account.
This article will provide instructions on how to carry out the import process: Export Then Import List Data Into QuickBooks Online.
However, if you need to alter your company address, here's an article that can help you change your personal information: Change your company name, address, email address, and privacy settings
Please don't hesitate to reach out for further assistance from the QuickBooks Team while you're in the process of transitioning to the right version of QBO.
