Piled-up cache files can sometimes cause display issues in QuickBooks Online. Let's do some browser troubleshooting steps to get rid of any cache-related issues:
Log in to your QuickBooks Online account using a private browser and add your accountant from there.
If you can do it successfully, you can go back to your regular browser and clear the cache storage.
You can use other support browsers, too.
Let me know how this goes. I'll be around if you need further assistance with this.
The issue mentioned in this thread was resolved months ago, asarun34.
For the Simple Start, Essentials, and Plus subscriptions, you can invite up to two accountants. On the other hand, you can invite up to three accountants for the Advanced subscription.
Let's open your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account via a private or incognito browser. This way, we can see and check if this issue is caused by stored cache form the browser. Too much cache can cause unusual behavior and affect the views and performance of your QBO account.
To open a private or incognito window, you can follow these keyboard shortcuts:
Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
Internet Explorer & Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
Safari: Command + Option + P
If you're able to view the accountant tab via a private or incognito window, then you'll need to clear your browser cache. This will remove all the cache and helps your browser to function efficiently.
If the issue persists, I recommend using another browser. This way, we can see and check if this is a browser-related issue.

Your boss should have to send it using your personal email because that is the email tied up to your QuickBooks account. You can let your boss resend the invite to your personal email id.

I don't understand I have created my own personal account with Quick books with my personal email id and company is creating with my official id. How can I mingle both
If you'll use the official id, it isn't required to create different login credentials. For that reason, using credentials that are the same as your existing account is recommended. Then you'll have the option to switch to your books and the client's account after signing in QuickBooks.
