Good to see you in the thread. @kwikb is qrap.

Yes, you're right, since one company file is equivalent to one subscription. If you want to add another account to your QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can follow the steps provided by my colleague @Angelyn_T.

You can also read this article on how to manage your billing & subscriptions to assist you in managing your QBO account.
