These instructions above change the name for the QBO file itself - not how it appears on the accountant list. I have several companies who have changed their names - ie Funky Petals became Bloomdiggity. When I want to open the QBO file - I choose Funky Petals because that's how it appears in my client list - and when I open the file the name is Bloomdiggity. How do I change the name of a company in the client list to reflect the change?

I can help you with that, ShawBookkeeper

The steps provided above are for changing the business name of a QuickBooks company. To show the changes in your client list, you'll have to edit its display name. Here's how:

Sign in to your QBOA account.
Go to the Clients menu.
Locate the appropriate client, then click Edit client from the Action column.
Change the business name, then hit Save.

I also encourage reading this article to help keep track of clients and update your client list: Manage clients in QuickBooks Online Accountant.
