Thanks for joining the Community, eko64.

 

I can certainly understand how an ability to have one Simple Start subscription with multiple companies could be useful and have submitted a suggestion about it as of today.

 

You can also submit your own feedback while signed in.

 

What can be done, is you can have multiple companies under the same QuickBooks account. Each of these company files will have their own paid subscription, but you access them with your same login credentials. This means their data will be stored in their own company files, so reports will only run for the company data you're actively using.

 

To add a new company to an account, visit our QuickBooks pricing page and choose a subscription. Next, one of two things will occur:
 

  • If you're already signed in to QuickBooks, you'll be asked to confirm which account you want to sign in with. In the event your displayed account is the one you want to use for your new company file, click Yes, that's correct.
  • If you haven't signed in recently, you'll be asked to create a new Intuit account. You don't have to do this unless you want to connect the new company file to a new Intuit account. Instead, look for your Adding a company to an existing account? section and select the Sign in link, then log in with your user ID and password.

 

Afterwards, you can proceed with the on-screen instructions to finish creating your new company file.

 

You can learn more about having multiple company files under one Intuit account in our Create or add another company file article.

 

Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful Friday!

One QBO account is for one company file. You can use QB Desktop with a non-subscription license to manage multi files if required.
