Hi there, s.mukhija.

 

Yes, you can purchase a new QuickBooks subscription with monthly billing and set yourself as the administrator.

 

To transfer your data from your existing QuickBooks account to the new subscription, you can export your company data from your current QuickBooks account and then import it into the new subscription.

 

Please note that the process may differ depending on whether you are using QuickBooks Online (QBO) or QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

If you are exporting your data to a new QBO subscription, please follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon in the top right corner.
  2. Select Export data under the tools section.
  3. Click on Export to Excel.

 

For more detailed instructions on exporting your data, you can refer to the article: Export Your QuickBooks Online Data.

 

If you are signing up for QBDT, which is a different QuickBooks subscription, you need to download the migration tool in QBO to export your data to QBDT. Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Download the migration tool in QBO by signing in to your account.
  2. Export your QBO data.
  3. Run the QuickBooks Desktop migration tool.
  4. Check if the data exported matches.
