I have created a company with only a chart of accounts. No transactions, customer lists, etc. Virtually empty.

I would like to create a clone of this company. Another company that will have the same chart of accounts.

I saw a thread from someone that spoke to this but I cannot find that discussion.

I actually want two clones (2 subsidiaries).

Can some give clear instructions on how to do this?

I have exported the chart of accounts in IFF format but the new company will not import this.???

Hi gedgar360,

I can see from how much you're visiting the QuickBooks Community today that you're hard at work, and I want to assure you that I'm still here with the goal of getting you on track. In addition to being a place you can ask questions, the QuickBooks Community also has a number of self-help articles, and I can direct you to a few that can help you with this process.

The first article I'd like to share with you is this: Start a new company file with data from your existing file . This article takes you through the process step-by-step so that you can have confidence as you work through it. The article also links to other useful resources for this process, so feel free to take a look at those.

When it comes to IIF files, we know those can be a bit of a challenge to work with, so we also have articles that cover those. Here are a few I've pulled for you.

Give those a read through. If you need a hand with the process of creating a new company file from an existing one, our tech support team can offer some assistance. I know I've shared this link with you a few times today, but just in case anyone else comes across this that would like to do so, here is our article about contacting support: Intuit QuickBooks Desktop software support policies

You're welcome to respond here if you have questions about the resources I've shared or more information about how it's going.
