Here’s how to add a client to QuickBooks Online Accountant.

Once you’ve added your client list, you can use several productivity tools to help each one manage their business:

  • Consolidate notes and contact info from a single dashboard.
  • Securely message clients and share documents.
  • Create, assign, and track projects from start to finish in one place.
  • Open multiple windows to jump between clients as needed rather than logging in to one individual account at a time.
  • Add connected services and third-party apps to your clients’ custom technology solutions.

Now, more businesses can get the most out of QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Online Payroll, thanks to an update to include Form 943, Employer’s Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees. We’ve put your feedback in action to provide this 943 filing option, which had previously only been available in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. Now, your clients with agricultural businesses using Desktop can move to QuickBooks Online and Online Payroll, rather than having to manually file their federal taxes or tack on another solution.
