    The previous treasurer I took over from was using Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2016, and until I upgrade to the online version I am using this older version. He has several memorized reports already set up. I have added a couple new accounts to the chart of accounts, and have added sub accounts to already existing accounts. Everything seems great in the chart of accounts. I thought these new accounts would show up in the memorized P&L Budget performance, but they do not. I've been trying to figure out how to get them added to the memorized report but am lost. Is there a way?

    I have accountant version quick books 2015 and am very intimidated to use. I have a small business very small, rental properties, ebay store, vacation rentals, and I thought quickbooks would be my savior to maintain my tax nightmares, however I do not have separate cc cards for each of these so one main card does multiple charges. I have created chart of accounts for my personal life, and chart of accounts for business. However when statement comes in i want to be able to switch between accounts to enter transactions easily, but I use to have all pulled up as multiple tabs in bottom so i could do so but I do not know how to now. Is it possible?

Where a new, part-time bookkeeping person needs to know.. in term of Quick Books... is HOW to enter invoices properly.. and to track payments to be credited toward those invoices. Nothing is an important as this.
