I am trying to take over the billing for a client- according to the instructions, I have to find the link "Allow billing transfer to your accountant link" under billing and subscription. I am logged in as a Master Admin and can not find the link anywhere. How do you get this done?

Let me help you transfer your client's billing to your account, @Ana Rosique.

 

All you have to is to follow these steps:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon and select Account and settings.
  2. Go to the Billing & Subscription tab and select the Allow billing transfer to your accountant link.
  3. Select the name of the accounting firm you want to transfer billing to.
  4. Once done, click Allow transfer.

 

Once your client gives you permission, you have two days to finish the transfer. Here's how: 

 

  1. In QuickBooks Online Accountant, go to Settings and select Subscriptions and billing.
  2. In the Your subscriptions tab, click Add existing clients.
  3. Select the checkbox for your clients you want to add and select Add clients.

 

If you're unable to see the "Allow billing transfer to your accountant" link in the Billing & Subscription tab, it's could be that there's an issue with your browser. 

 

You can fix this by accessing your account in a private window. Simply press the following keyboard shortcut keys:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
  • Control + Option + P (Safari).

 

If you're able to the link now, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache or use other supported browsers instead. It could be that there's an issue with QuickBooks and the browser that you're using. 

 

In addition, you can discuss to your clients how wholesale billing works in QuickBooks: Everything you need to know about wholesale billing.

@ReymondO - I do not see the link at all- not incognito, not in edge, not Chrome, not Safari... I have cleared my cookies, I have cleared my cache- I do not see the link anywhere. Can you do a screenshot and show where it would be located, perhaps I am looking at the wrong thing?

If a client transfers billing to the accounting firm, why isn't wholesale billing an option? Why would their pricing stay the same if they transfer billing to us?

I'm here to share details about this, LTK_Books.

 

We can only have an accountant version of the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and India. That said, you're unable to add them to Wholesale Billing.

 

Please let me know if you have any other concerns. I'll be right here to answer them.

Just to be clear, I'm in the US, my client would be eligible to get wholesale pricing through me if they decided to switch over to billing through me?
