Hey @garyet,

Nice to see you in the Community. I can provide clarification on transferring the Chart of Accounts from the old company to your new one. 

QuickBooks Online has the ability to export and import spreadsheet information which is an option that you may wish to consider. I'm including an article that goes over this, with the section Chart of Accounts covering the steps for this process: How To Transfer Chart Of Accounts And Lists.

I'm confident that this resource will help you to get on the right track.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Best regards.
