Choose between leaving and removing a company

Understand whether the action affects your list or the whole team.

Updated 2026-11-11

Leave workspace changes your personal company switcher. Remove company affects everyone’s active workspace list and has connection consequences. Read the action name carefully before confirming.

The Remove company warning explains that Plaid, QuickBooks, and Xero syncing stops and provider disconnections are attempted automatically. It also says other apps and API access must be disconnected first. Records are retained and can be restored, though provider links may need reconnection.

Use Leave workspace when you simply do not want the company in your own switcher. Use Remove company only when an authorized manager intends the broader effect and has reviewed ongoing work and connected access.

Neither operation is a legal business dissolution or proof that a subscription was cancelled. Handle those separate responsibilities through their own workflows. The final confirmation requires the exact company name, which is an opportunity to catch the wrong target. If you are uncertain, cancel before the final action and ask the responsible administrator to review the intended outcome.
