Former CAP not transferring our wholesale QB online account
Hey there QuickBooks community!
My husband and I have been using individual QB Online accounts through our previous accountant since 2015, paying $15/mo. We've recently switched accountants, and upon informing our former accountant, he closed our QB online accounts and provided us with downloaded reports. He mentioned that he's unable to transfer the account ownership and billing to us, stating: "The actual QB Online is still under my account and stays billed under my account. You will have to open your own QB account. Use the data and journal reports to start your new QB accounts."
I came across a video explaining that QB Online account ownership and billing can be transferred without creating new accounts. However, our former accountant mentioned that because our accounts were part of a special program for accountants, where accounts were purchased in bundles, this option might not apply to us.
Can anyone provide some guidance on this? Is our former accountant correct in saying that the ownership and billing transfer isn't possible due to our participation in this specialized accountant program (only offered for a few years back then)?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
