Account management

I’m here to clarify things out about the parent account and sub-accounts, dudleytut.
 
No, it won't create a problem. It would be best to do that, you can follow the steps below in turning an existing account into sub-account:

 

  1. Log in your credentials in QuickBooks Online company.
  2. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Find the account and select the small arrow ▼ in the action column.
  4. Select the Edit button.
  5. Select Is sub-account and then enter the parent account.
  6. Select Save and Close.

 

Some banks may show the overall bank balance at each sub-account level. This is because the bank provides us with a static balance of the entire account, not the balance of each sub-account.
 
You can refer to this article for more information: About bank or credit card subaccount setup.
 
Do you have questions in mind? Let me know right away and I’ll back you up. Take care!
