quickbooks pro 2012 to quickbooks self employed
I have been using Quickbooks Pro for decades, last desktop version I was on is 2012. I use Deluxe echecks to handle the only dozens of checks I have to write each year as I'm a sole proprietor, self employed, architect with no employees, etc..., as simple a structure as can be. Note that Quickbooks Pro then has always had WAY more than I ever needed and has always felt far too heavy.
Anyway, now I have a new computer, I can no longer use the 2012 software and I'm looking at current options. The current desktop and online versions are even more overkill for my needs and when I look at the prices, in a recurring subscription model, I pretty well want to retire instead 🙂
Which finally brings me to my questions, if I go to Quickbooks Self-Employed, will I be able to:
- import and hit the ground running with all my legacy desktop data from Pro 2012?
- integrate with the Deluxe echecks service I've been using for years?
- not require a ton of retraining? I have a business to run and I'm not an accountant, just a professional who needs proper record keeping to turn over to my professional accountant at tax time each year
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
