I ordered 2015 for Mac but I have several companies. Can I use one version of Quickbooks or can I set up multiple company accounts?

Create a company file for each company - you can have as many companies as you like.

    I have 3 companies on my QB for Mac.  Upon switching from one company to another, QB frequently, almost always crashes.  I have sent repeated reports to Intuit with no response.

    Beware of ONLINE version if you want multiple QB files.  Apparently only one allowed per subscription.  More $$$ basically.  Stick with desktop version for multiple QB files.

      Thanks for joining this thread, @1stclasscontractors.

       

      I'd be glad to share some resources about provisioning access to your QuickBooks authorized users.

       

      When you add a user, that authorized person can only access the specific company file where you add him or her. Also, the data he or she can see depends on the type of user access you've provided.

      My QuickBooks contains TWO distinct copies and uses TWO different accounting firms.

      When I set up an Accountant Copy, am I doing that function for one firm at a time.

      OR does a single Accountant Copy content ALL companies on my Books?

      Thanks

      Hello there, @MKE714.

       

      At this time, opening multiple companies in QuickBooks Desktop is unavailable in QuickBooks. You'll need to open your companies one at a time.

       

      To open your companies easier, you can go to File then click Open Previous Company. From there, you can select the company you want to open.

       

      In case you want to learn more about navigating your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account, visit our Help articles page for reference.

       

      If you have more questions, please get back to this thread. We'd be happy to fill you in.
