How to Create a New Company File in QuickBooks

The process for adding a new company in QuickBooks Online is slightly different from creating a company in QuickBooks Desktop. QuickBooks Online is a cloud-based platform, so your company data is stored securely online and can be accessed through browsers like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. If you already have a QuickBooks account, log in first to create a new company.

Note: Each new company in QuickBooks Online requires a different subscription plan.

To add a new company under your existing Intuit ID, log in to your current account and select the “Add Another Company” option. You’ll only need to provide an email address and password to create a new company.
