Thanks for visiting us here in the Community today, @thesalonhampshir.

 

In QuickBooks, you can access/run multiple companies from the app or its browser version as long as you have user access to the company file. If you're using the same login credentials for those companies, you will be able to see them from the list. 

 

Please see the sample screenshot attached to see what a list of companies will look like: 

 

If you want to switch to another company, you can just click on the Gear icon on the account that your working on and hit on Switch company

 

However, please know that QuickBooks Online only allows one company per subscription. If you want to add multiple accounts, you'll need to sign up for a new QBO account. It means that each company you create will have its own subscription. But if you already have an existing account, you can use the same login credentials when signing up and switching between Companies..

 

Here's how to create a new QuickBooks Online company:

  1. Go to https://quickbooks.intuit.com/choose-country/.
  2. Choose your country to be directed to your region specific QuickBooks Online website.
  3. Select the QuickBooks Online version you need.
  4. Choose to buy now, or start a free trial. (Note: This is not a UI-specific step, the "Buy Now" and "Free Trial" buttons vary depending on country.)
  5. On the signup page, select Sign In or Add another account if you have an existing QuickBooks Online account. If you don't, continue creating a new one
