How it works Connect multiple users in different locations. Allow multiple users to access your account.
With QuickBooks Online Simple Start, you can set up 2 people as users so they can access your company data. With QuickBooks Online Essentials, you can set up 4 users. With QuickBooks Online Plus, you can set up 6 users.
Simultaneous access from any location
Anyone who needs to access your books can do so from any location with an Internet connection.
You and your employees can collaborate more easily, maximise time management, and make more informed decisions because everyone references the exact same information.
Remote financial updates
Your accountant can review your files from their office.
Business colleagues can get financial updates on the road, reducing the need for them to travel to your office.
One set of books, always updated
With all your financial information organised in one place, you avoid the confusion and hassles of swapping files on disk or through email.
Whether you have only one or as many as six users accessing your data, you always have one set of updated books.
You're always in control
You control who accesses your QuickBooks Online data and what they're allowed to see.
Set your own permission levels
You can choose from multiple permission levels that let you limit the access privileges of each user:
The Administrator is the user who creates your company. They have full access rights and manage other users. You can transfer the Administrator role to another user.
You can grant customer access to any Standard User, which enables full access, or you can limit access to Customers and Sales, Suppliers and Purchases, or both Sales and Purchases.
Reports Only users can see reports about the company and banking information, but they can't enter information.
You can grant your Accountant (or bookkeeper) full access rights or limit them to reports only.
