Can I outsource my QuickBooks bookkeeping?
Short answer
Yes. Invite your bookkeeper as an accountant user in QuickBooks Online. They can manage bank feeds, reconciliations, invoices and reports while you keep ownership of the file.
Detailed answer
Use accountant access appropriately
QuickBooks Online supports inviting an accounting firm or individual through its account-management features. Your country edition and subscription can affect available permissions. Keep control of the subscription and confirm whether the firm needs access to payroll, expenses or connected payment services in addition to ordinary bookkeeping.
Define the ongoing workflow
Agree who uploads documents, handles queries and approves changes to closed periods. Ask for reconciliations and month-end reports, not just completed bank-feed coding. Check that existing invoices and bills are matched rather than duplicated. Remove access and review connected apps when the service ends.
