  3. Click the More icon (  ) at the upper-right corner of the screen and click Edit.
  4. On the Edit Contact page, click the Search icon in the Account Name lookup field.
  5. Choose the preferred Account on the Select Account window.
  6. Click Save.

Alternatively you can associate contacts from inside an account.
To do the same follow the steps mentioned below:
  1. Click the Customers module.
  2. Click Accounts on the lower-left corner.
  3. Open an account to view its details.
