What Is a Quickbook Account?
A Quickbooks account is a log in with Intuit, the company that owns Quickbooks products. This is not to be confused with an account in the chart of accounts in your bookkeeping. You will need a Quickbooks account if you intend to use Quickbooks online or purchase a payroll subscription.
