I would like to set up a sub account for each of my three subsidiary businesses and be able to access them from the same master overview.

Hi there, David!

 

Welcome and thank you for posting about handling your subsidiary businesses. I'm happy to shed light on the setup in QBO.

 

We can only have one QBO company per subscription. Therefore, you can subscribe to another QBO plan for each subsidiary business. I'll show you how to do this using your existing Intuit credentials.

 

  1. Choose a plan: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing/
  2. When you reach the Create an Intuit account page, click Sign in.
  3. Enter your existing user ID and password. Or, click One more step if the system recognizes that you're signed in.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the first subsidiary business. Then, repeat the same thing for other businesses.

 

Here's an article for your additional reference: Create or add another company file to QuickBooks Online.

 

As for checking the overview, you're unable to do this. You'll need to open each company to check their reports. You can switch companies by clicking on Settings ⚙ and then Switch company to select another one.

 

Please feel free to ask if you have more concerns. I'll be happy to lend a hand. Take care and have a good one!

One QBO account is for one company file. You can manage branches/divisions by utilizing the Class/Location feature available in QBO Plus and Advanced. Otherwise you should open a new account.
