Hello,

When I go to open a new company file in QB's desktop, after logging into my online account, the first page asks for the company information. One of the requirements is an email address. However, it won't let me put anything in that field. As such, I cannot move forward with the creation of the company file.

Has anyone experienced this? Do you know how to get around it? I need to create this file and I can't get past the first page. I've filled in all of the fields except the email field and it will not let me select "create company".

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hey there, Awolff78. I completely understand that creating a new company file can be time-consuming. No worries, I'm here to help you out with any issues you may be facing and make the process as smooth as possible!

Creating a company file with Intuit is an easy and straightforward process, but it's important to follow the proper steps to ensure a successful setup. When the Admin email address field is greyed out, you may be logged in as a regular user. To ensure you'll get to proceed, make sure to access QuickBooks as the Primary Admin.

After confirming, fill out all the required fields marked with an asterisk, and then click the Create Company button to get started. Kindly ensure that this step is completed before proceeding to create a new company.

The in-product guide takes you through the setup step-by-step. Here's how:

Open QuickBooks Desktop.
In the No Company Open window, select Create a new company.
At this point, you have two setup options:
Select Express Start or Start Setup if you want to get started right away. You only need to enter your business name, industry, and business type and select Create Company File to create your company. You can enter this info later on.
Select Detailed Start if you want to do a complete setup so all of your info is in from the start.
Follow the onscreen steps to finish the setup. Note: If you have an existing company file in QuickBooks, give your new one a unique name. This prevents QuickBooks from accidentally overwriting your data.
Select Start Working.
