    What is the Difference Between Accountant Copy and Backup File in QuickBooks?

    The major difference between an accountant’s copy and a backup file is:

    Copy of an Accountant

    An accountant copy is a document that allows an accountant and his or her customer to communicate important accounting information. Because most redundant material, such as lists, chart of accounts, personnel information, and so on, isn’t included in the accountant copy.

    Backup Copy

    A backup file is a compressed file that contains all of the data from the corporate file. Use the backup file to import all of the data from the accountant version to the pro version.

    How to Create a QuickBooks Pro Company File from a QB Accountant Copy File?

    To create a QuickBooks Pro Company File from a QB Accountant Copy File, follow the procedures below to convert the accountant’s copy into a QuickBooks Pro-business file:

    • Select Send Company File from the drop-down menu.
