Business View vs Accountant View: What's the difference?

Updated: Apr 13, 2023


What’s the difference?


There are two different view modes in QuickBooks Online. There is the “Business View” and there is the “Accountant View”. Now don’t panic, you don’t need an accounting degree to use the “Accountant View” and you don’t need to be the business owner to use the “Business View”. These are just the names given to the two view modes. In actuality, the two modes are pretty similar.


See if you can spot the difference between the two.

As you can see, Business view uses simplified accounting terms compared to the accountant view. But ultimately, they will all lead to the same place.


Pro Tip: I find accountant view to be simpler to navigate and more intuitive.
