I've come to ensure you can invite your accountant to QuickBooks Online (QBO).
To guide you with all the steps mentioned above when inviting an accountant to your account.
Here's how:
Sign in on your QBO account as a primary admin and go to the Gear icon.
Select Manage users under the Your Company column.
Click on the Accountants or Accounting Firms tab.
Enter your accountant's email address and select Invite.
Once invited, your accountant will receive an email about the invitation. You'll know they accepted your request when the status from the Manage Users page shows as Active.
