I'll help you delete your company file that was mistakenly added, Remesis.
 

Human error or mistakes will sometimes cause a great impact or even bring big consequences, to your business. Typically, when adding another company to your account, this will give you additional charges which may cause lost revenue.

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) has a purge function that lets you remove a company from your account. If you're using QBO Plus, Essentials, and Advanced and is less than 60 days, you can purge the company. This deletes all the data entered and please know you're unable to restore or reverse them. To purge, you can follow the steps outlined below: 

 

  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Change the URL to include /purgecompany.
  3. Example: URL shows https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/homepage, change to: https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/purgecompany.

    Before: https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/homepage



    After: https://...qbo.intuit.com/app/purgecompany
  4. The next screen will provide a summary of the items to be deleted.
  5. Type the word “YES” once the data gets deleted, then click OK.
  6. Click Wipe Data once your selections are complete.
  7. Once the deletion is complete, you will be rerouted to your home page

 

In addition, if you've just signed up with QBO, I've included some of our available resources that will guide you on how to get started with QuickBooks: Get Started With QuickBooks Online.

Hi, hope you can help….

 

I had an account set up for my company via my accountant. This subscription was ended when we parted ways and I have now since tried to sign up to a subscription for myself to manage. This has gone through but I’ve noticed it has set up an additional company “no company name” when I wanted the subscription to be added to my previous account. Any way I can transfer this subscription and close the addition one?

Will also add that I tried to resubscribe via the subscription page but it will not authorise my payment….
