In particular, I'd like to move catagories that are of interest to my tax accountant, to the top, and change the names of a few catagories. Thank You.

I'll be happy to share the steps on how you can organize your chart of accounts. Since QBO automatically sets up your chart of accounts, you can edit or add additional accounts. Let me walk you through how.

 

To edit existing accounts:

 

  1. Go to Accounting.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Locate the account you want to change the name with.
  4. Tick the drop-down arrow beside the View register link, and then Edit.
  5. From the Account window, update the information.
  6. Click Save and Close. For a new account, just click New.

Below are the screenshots of how it looks like.
