Non-admin

In case you are an accountant reviewing the client’s file, then you will have to select non-admin. Choose non-admin only if you manage the company’s financial actions on the admin’s behalf and choose continue tab. QuickBooks will close the intuit account prompt. Once 14 days’ time passes away, you would have to sign-in to the file again in order to work on it.

Admin
