Thanks for reaching out to the Community, bryan.riecker.

 

Your Switch Company option can still be found on the Profile screen in Settings. If you're unable to see some options on your Profile screen, initially try scrolling up, down, left, and right to identify anything that may be hidden due to display settings on the computer or browser.

 

If it's still not displaying, I'd also recommend checking the browser you're using. It's possible this could have something to do with temporary internet files. Browsing applications store these types of records, but sometimes they can cause issues with certain webpages. You can open a private window and check to see if pages load properly.

 

Here's how to access incognito mode in some of the most commonly used web browsers:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl Shift P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl Shift P
  • Safari: Command Option P

 

If your Switch Company option displays while browsing privately, it's safe to say this problem's being caused by your browser. It can typically be fixed by clearing cached data and Intuit-specific cookies.

 

In the event it continues not displaying properly while browsing in incognito mode, you'll want to try switching to another browsing application.

 

Here's a list of supported browsers

 

  • Google Chrome - version 78 or newer
  • Mozilla Firefox - version 76 or newer
  • Microsoft Edge - version 79 or newer
  • Opera - version 68 or newer
  • Samsung - version 10 or newer
  • Safari - version 12 or newer

 

You can also check a browser's compatibility with QuickBooks by utilizing our browser health checkup tool. QuickBooks supports the current and two previous versions of browsers. If you find that you're using an unsupported version, make sure to update it to its latest release. Steps for doing so can be found on the particular company's website.

 

If you meet our system requirements, but are continuing to not see the Switch Company option, I'd recommend using a different device and/or internet connection. If it continues happening on other devices and internet connections, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.

Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a great Thursday!

I did all that. Tried incognito, cleared browser history and cache. I still also can't see the switch company tab.

Encountering the same problem, it was still working fine yesterday.

Any luck in finding a solution?
