Completely new account, new company, it's not showing a list of chart of accounts.

Thanks for your help. This did NOT lead to any changes.

 

I paid for my Quicken account and received a defective product. I should not have to spend my own time troubleshooting this. Is there any way I can actually get tech support with a life person?

Thank you for sharing your concern in the QuickBooks Community, @info@yourexperie.

 

QuickBooks automatically creates default accounts in the Chart of Accounts once you sign up for a new subscription. 

 

Since you're unable to find their list, I'd recommend performing some basic troubleshooting steps. Sometimes too much cache accumulated in the browser can cause unexpected with the product. 

 

To start, access your account in a private window. This will help us identify if the issue is cache-related. Simply press the following shortcut keys to open:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
  • Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
  • Control + Option + P (Safari).

 

If you're able to see them on the list, then let's clear the cache in your web browser or use another supported browser. This could be a temporary issue with QuickBooks and the current browser that you use.

 

You can also check out our Getting Started guide. This will provide you recommended articles that can help you in accomplishing your task in QBO.

 

Should you have any follow-up questions or concerns, don't hesitate to post again here in the Community or leave a comment on this thread. Take care and have a good one.

Hi Customer, @info@yourexperie.


Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about the Chart of Accounts issue you had yesterday. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at anytime.


Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!

This has not made any change. I had a 1 time set up session scheduled via Quicken and the accountant made me aware that what I was seeing was not the full default set of chart of accounts and she couldn't figure out how to solve this. We had to re-schedule our session until this is resolved.

I have received a defective product and I shouldn't have to spend my time trying all sorts of trouble shooting. Is there any way I can actually get tech support for my product?
