⚡ Chaos by Client: Why Your Chart of Accounts Looks Like a Dumpster Fire 🔥
You asked, we answered — but you’re not gonna like it. No, you can’t delete inactive COA lines in QBO.
And yes, the mess is usually homemade. Here's how to keep your sanity:
🧷 Set boundaries — and permissions.
Advanced QBO gives more control. Use it. Lock it down like your best spreadsheet formula. 🧩
✏️ Rename, repurpose, repeat.
That “Unicorn Feed Supplies” account? Inactive + renamed = not your problem anymore. 🦄
🧠 Train ‘em or fire ‘em.
It’s education or exorcism. Pick one. (Preferably before they create a new account for every car, ad, or cup of coffee.) ☕🚗📉
