The display issue in QuickBooks happens due to the piled-up cache files in the browser.

If Your Accountant Does not Receive the Invitation Link

If your accountant does not receive the invitation link, you can ask them to check the invitation in the spam folder. Or it might happen that you have entered the email address incorrectly in the details of the accountant. If both of these points are ok, you can check that maybe your accountant’s server is blocking the email. Once you check all the relevant checkpoints, you can resend the invitation to your accountants by clicking on the setting (gear icon) and then clicking on managing users, then you need to select the accountant that you want to invite again and resend the invite in the action column.
