It has been often observed that QuickBooks users face issues in accessing QuickBooks desktop with one intuit account. This often affects the day-to-day activities of accountants and the entire process can become quite hassle prone. When one connects or creates an Intuit account on the QuickBooks Desktop Company file, they get the following:

·         One more layer of security and protection

·         A single secured login to access all Intuit’s products, which includes payroll, payments, time tracking and more

·         Enjoy access to features and perks of payroll, payments, time tracking etc.

Access as well as manage QuickBooks Desktop Files with One Intuit Account

In order to access and manage QuickBooks files with one Intuit Account, there are going to be three scenarios that we will discuss in detail.

Scenario 1: No Prompt for Intuit Account Setup or Login

If you are not asked for the Intuit account set up or log in, then in that case, you can continue to make use of your normal company file that you already have.

Scenario 2: If you successfully sign into the company file with the Intuit account set up request

In case you come across this option, your client will have to link their account to their company file.

Non-admin

If you are an accountant who is reviewing your client’s file then choose the non-admin option. If you manage the company’s financial actions on the admin’s behalf and then select the non-admin only tab followed by continue. QuickBooks will now close the Intuit Account prompt and after 14 days you will be required to sign-in to the file again so as to work on it.

Admin

If you are an accountant who does all the tasks for the client then you should choose the admin option.  Also, if one manages the company and its financial actions, Admin option should be chosen. After this you have to provide your email address and select the Continue tab. Now provide the Intuit Account password and then click on the OK button. All these steps will now allow you access to work on the file.
