Preparing to Import a Chart of Accounts into QuickBooks Desktop

Before importing, ensure that your file is formatted correctly and includes all necessary information.
Step 1: Format Your Excel or CSV File

QuickBooks Desktop supports importing the Chart of Accounts in Excel (.xlsx) or Comma-Separated Values (.csv) format. The file should include the following columns:

Account Name – The name of the account
Account Type – Category of the account (e.g., Expense, Income, Asset, Liability)
Detail Type – Further classification of the account
Description – Brief explanation of the account’s purpose
Balance – Opening balance for the account (optional)

For assistance in formatting your file, call 855-216-2925.
Step 2: Save the File in the Correct Format

If using Excel, save it as .xlsx or .xls.
If using CSV, save it as .csv.

Step-by-Step Guide to Importing a Chart of Accounts into QuickBooks Desktop
Step 1: Open QuickBooks Desktop

Launch QuickBooks Desktop and open the company file where you want to import the Chart of Accounts.
Step 2: Navigate to Import Data

Click on File in the top menu.
Select Utilities > Import > Excel Files (or CSV if applicable).

Step 3: Upload Your Chart of Accounts File

In the Import Excel File window, click Browse.
Locate your formatted Excel or CSV file and select it.
Click Open.

Step 4: Map Your Accounts

QuickBooks will prompt you to map your fields (e.g., Account Name, Account Type, Balance). Match these fields accurately to ensure a smooth import.

Step 5: Review and Confirm Import

Click Review to check for errors.
If everything looks correct, click Import.
QuickBooks will notify you once the import is complete.

Troubleshooting Common Import Issues
1. Incorrect File Format

Ensure your file is in Excel (.xlsx/.xls) or CSV format.
Remove unnecessary formatting like merged cells or special characters.

2. Missing Account Types

Each account must have a valid Account Type (e.g., Income, Expense, Asset).

3. Import Fails or Partially Completes

Check for duplicate accounts.
Ensure all required fields are filled.

For quick fixes, dial 855-216-2925.
Verifying the Imported Chart of Accounts

After importing, follow these steps to confirm accuracy:

Go to Lists > Chart of Accounts.
Check if all accounts appear correctly.
Edit or delete incorrect entries if necessary.
