I need to speak with a human at Quickbooks. How do I do this? The chat doesn't work either.

Where is your company located?

Where does your accountant live?

I can see the urgency for adding your accountant to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company, Catherine. I'd be glad to assist you in getting this sorted out.

Before we proceed, could you please provide additional information about the specific error message your accountant received after clicking the link? If possible, including a screenshot of the error message would be particularly helpful. It will help me identify the issue and provide a specific resolution.

To begin, this process requires your accountant's cooperation to ensure they are added to your company promptly. Kindly request their complete email address and inform your accountant that they will need to verify it through their email to confirm their access. Once verified, you can resend the invitation. 

Here's how:

1. Log in to QuickBooks Online (QBO) as the primary admin.
2. Navigate to the Settings menu and choose Manage Users.
3. Click on Add User, and then select Company Admin.
4. Check the box that says, This user is my accountant. Please note that this step does not apply to Simple Start subscriptions.
5. Proceed by clicking Next and providing the accountant's name and email address, then select Save.
6. Your accountant will be sent an email with a link to sign into your QBO company.
7. Your accountant will be asked to create a user ID before signing in the first time unless they already have an account with Intuit Business Services.
8. Until your accountant signs in, their status will remain as Invited< on the Manage Users page. After accepting the invitation, their status changes to Active.
9. Hit Next, then Finish.

To access further details, please refer to the article: Add accountant users in QuickBooks Online.
