Step 1: Access the Company File
Begin by opening your QuickBooks 2015 software and navigating to the "File" menu. Select "Open or Restore Company" to access your company file.
Step 2: Create a Backup
Before making any changes, it's always a good practice to create a backup of your company file. This ensures that you can revert to the previous state if needed. Click on "File," then choose "Create Copy" and follow the prompts to save a backup.
Step 3: Communicate with Your Accountant
Ensure open communication with your accountant before proceeding. They will likely provide you with an Accountant's Copy (.QBX) file, which contains the changes they've made.
Step 4: Import Accountant Changes
- From the "File" menu, select "Accountant's Copy" and then "Import Accountant's Changes."
- Browse to the location where you saved the Accountant's Copy file and select it.
- Click "Open" and follow the on-screen instructions to import the changes.
Step 5: Review and Merge Changes
Once the changes are imported, QuickBooks will prompt you to review and merge the modifications. Carefully go through each change, ensuring accuracy before proceeding.
Step 6: Set a Closing Date
To prevent accidental changes to the period covered by the Accountant's Copy, set a closing date. Navigate to "Edit," choose "Preferences," and then select "Accounting." Set the closing date and password, if desired.
Step 7: Share the Changes with Your Accountant
After reviewing and merging the changes, save the file and share it with your accountant. They will receive a notification to pick up the updated file.
