How do I access the Books Review Center in Quickbooks with the Craig's Design and Landscaping sample company?

Welcome to the Community, Steve.

Let me help you with accessing the Books Review column in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

You’re right, the Books review feature is exclusive to QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA). Since the Craig's Design and Landscaping Sample Company used in training is a standalone sample file, the feature isn’t accessible there.

To utilize Books review during ProAdvisor training, you’ll need to add a company as a client in your QBOA firm account. Once added, you can access it from the Client list.

Here's how:

Thanks JayAnne_C,

So I have added that client, and they show up under the Overview tab, but not under the Bookkeeping tab. I saw a link in the Bookkeeping tab saying Add a Bookkeeping Client, which I then tried to do, but that ended up duplicating the client in the Overview tab. I still don't see them on the Bookkeeping tab. Not sure what I'm doing wrong...

I would love to add a screenshot, but this interface with the community doesn't think I'm logged in (even though I am) and will not let me add attachments..

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for reaching out to the community, Steve.

Let’s explore why the added client is not appearing under the Bookkeeping tab.

In QuickBooks Online Accountant (QBOA), when you add a client, you have two options: adding them with a subscription or without a subscription. If you added a client with a subscription, they should appear under the Bookkeeping tab. However, if you chose the option that does not require a subscription, this is why the client is not visible under the Bookkeeping tab, as that option is intended for tracking purposes only.

As a workaround, you can edit the client to select the subscription option for them to display under the Bookkeeping tab in your QBOA account.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the Clients menu.
2. Choose the client that you want to edit.
3. Click on Edit client in the Actions column.
4. Fill out the required information.
5. Select Yes, add a subscription.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
