Once you subscribe to QuickBooks Online, you’re prompted to create your company. You can then start entering data from scratch, import your data from QuickBooks Desktop if applicable, or import lists such as customers and vendors, which I discuss in Chapter 4, along with importing inventory items in Chapter 5. You can also ask your accountant for assistance.
