How to change the day for start of the week for reporting purposes (QuickBooks Online)?

Our week goes from Monday - Sunday, and not Sunday - Saturday. I tried to change the settings for "Time tracking", but that was only in "My Practice", and not for our company. There isn't even an option to change the day of the week in the company settings of our company... 

I know that I can customize a report to show from a specific day to a specific day, but I was hoping to be able to compare multiple weeks, as different columns next to each other, but with our correct start of the week day, otherwise the report we can get, in that format, is pretty useless to us. Is there a way to get our start of the week day for reports to change to our correct day?

    When you select "Add Customer field to timesheets" checkbox, the field should expand to show the "First day of work week" choice. See attached screenshot for reference. If that's not the case on your QBO file, you will need to call Intuit support for help.

    You can change the first day of your work week in your Company Preferences.

    1. Choose the Gear icon > Company Settings. 
    2. Click Advanced.
    3. In the Time Tracking section, click on the Edit icon. This will show the First day of work week field.
    4. From the drop-down menu, choose the appropriate First day of work week.
    5. Click Save. 

    Your time sheets will now begin on the appropriate day.

      Hi, thanks... but the problem in when I go into the actual company settings, that option is not available to me. There is no drop down menu to choose the start of the week.
      That option is available when I am in "My Practice", but not when I am in the actual company.

      There's no option to select the start of the week...
