Begin by logging in to your QuickBooks Online account using your credentials. If you haven't already, navigate to the company file that you want to share with your accountant.
Once you are in your company file, locate the "File" menu in the upper left corner. Click on "Send an Accountant's Copy" from the dropdown menu. This will initiate the process of creating and sending a copy of your file to your accountant.
QuickBooks Online will prompt you to select a dividing date for the accountant's copy. This date marks the point in your financial data where your accountant can start making changes. Choose a date that aligns with the end of a specific accounting period to ensure accuracy.
For added security, you have the option to set a password for the accountant's copy. This ensures that only authorized individuals can access and make changes to the file. If you choose to set a password, make sure to communicate it securely to your accountant.
After configuring the settings, click "Next" to review your choices. Double-check the dividing date and any optional settings you've selected. Ensure that all the information is accurate before proceeding to the next step.
Once you are satisfied with your selections, click "Send Accountant's Copy." QuickBooks Online will generate the accountant's copy of your file and provide instructions on how to deliver it to your accountant. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure a successful transfer.
After sending the accountant's copy, it's essential to communicate with your accountant. Provide them with any necessary passwords and inform them of the dividing date. This collaborative communication ensures a seamless exchange of information.
By following these steps, you have successfully sent an accountant's copy in QuickBooks Online, fostering efficient collaboration with your accountant. This feature enhances the overall accounting process, allowing for accurate adjustments without disrupting your day-to-day operations. Now, you and your accountant can work together seamlessly to keep your financial records in excellent shape.
