How can i set up multiple sub accounts in quickbooks ?

I can think of two possible scenarios when you say you want to set up multiple sub-accounts in QuickBooks, 47thsunnyside. I'll discuss each of them to assist you in completing your task.

You're maybe referring to any of the following:

• Subaccounts in your chart of accounts
• Multiple sub-accounts (company file) under one QuickBooks subscription

If you need to create multiple (up to five) subaccounts under a parent account, you're able to break down your income, expenses, and other types. To do this, here's how:

1. From the Settings, select Chart of accounts.
2. Click New.
3. Enter an Account name.
4. Select an Account type, then choose the Detail type from the dropdowns.
5. Check the Make this a subaccount box, then choose the Parent account it should be under.
6. (Optional) Add a Description.
7. Select Save.

You can also change an existing account into a subaccount. To know more about this process, please see this article: Create subaccounts in your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.

If you want to have several subaccounts (company file) under one QuickBooks subscription, this isn't an option. QuickBooks requires each company to have its own paid plan. However, you can have multiple companies under the same Intuit account to switch between them easily. For more details about this, refer to this article: Create or add another company file to QuickBooks Online.

Additionally, we recommend regularly reconciling your accounts (monthly) to effectively track your business revenue and expenditures and keep your financial data updated.
