As of September 30, 2024, Intuit will discontinue the sale of new QuickBooks Desktop subscriptions in the US. This change marks an important transition for many QuickBooks Desktop users as Intuit focuses more on its cloud-based solutions. While current subscribers of QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus, Premier Plus, Mac Plus, and Enhanced Payroll can still renew their subscriptions, this may be the perfect time to consider moving to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Why Now is the Right Time to Switch to QuickBooks Online

Rather than waiting until the year-end rush, now is a great time to make the leap to QuickBooks Online. Moving to QBO offers several key advantages over desktop versions, including:

  • Instant Access: With QuickBooks Online, your business data is available from any device with an internet connection, offering you flexibility and mobility.
  • Multiple Users: QBO allows multiple users to collaborate in real-time, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
  • Online Integration: Easily integrate your QuickBooks Online account with your bank and credit card accounts, streamlining reconciliations and transactions.
  • Automatic Updates: QBO continuously updates with new features and security enhancements—no more manual updates or risk of running outdated software.
