We are going to be using QBO Essentials.  The file that the accountant sent is is a .qbm file from QB Accountant Desktop 2022.  My version of Desktop is Enterprise 20, so I'm not able to open his file and import it that way.  How can I get this file into our QBO?

Upgrade your version to QBD 2022 Enterprise or utilize the trial version

On your keyboard, press Ctrl + 1 to open the Product Information window.
Press Ctrl + B + Q, then select OK to display the export window.
On the export window, select Get started.

I tried that.  I got an error that said that the file was created in Enterprise, and our QBO is Essentials and could not open an Enterprise file.
