Move up to Desktop Enterprise
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise gives Pro and Premier users an entire business productivity solution with more powerful features and automation to help you get more done—all with the same interface you already work in.
Scale to as many as 40 users* with more customizable control over user permissions than any other version of QuickBooks.
Work with larger data files and confidently grow up to 1 million vendor, customer, and item lists compared to small data files and a list limit of 14,999 in QuickBooks Desktop Pro or QuickBooks Desktop Premier.
Desktop Enterprise lets you manage multiple companies from a single dashboard with combined reporting and intercompany transaction tracking.
When you add cloud access,* you can access QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise anytime on any device. Your data is protected and automatically syncs in real-time, so your team can work and collaborate from anywhere.*
Track inventory your way with 3 levels of location tracking (e.g. row, shelf, and bin; section, area, pallet). Transfer inventory from one location to another to meet demand without delays.
Help boost your profits by using landed cost and our new built-in calculator to establish competitive sales prices.* Factor in freight, duties, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses to calculate a more accurate cost for your products. Gain flexibility by setting up landed cost accounts as COGS or “other current assets.”
Gain better insight into inventory levels, costs, and sales to make informed decisions with enhanced inventory reports organized by categories. Control inventory costs with a hierarchical view of categories in inventory and sales reports. Maintain inventory levels with reports for component quantities on assemblies and pending builds.
Assign expiration dates* to sell inventory more quickly and reduce business losses. Help reduce liability by conveying expiration dates in customer communications. Take timely actions with reports on expired or about-to-expire inventory by lot or serial number.
Get specialized reports specific to your industry or track your real-time job costs, progress, and profitability by project. Combine financial reporting across companies. Plus, you can track details unique to your business with enhanced custom fields.
Desktop Enterprise gives you 200+ customizable, built-in reports—including 70 industry-specific reports—and the ability to create your own from any data set.
Desktop Enterprise comes with built-in, fully integrated QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. Unlike in Desktop Pro and Premier, you don't have to purchase payroll separately (per employee fee may apply), and there's no need to sync or import data from other programs.*
Payroll, time tracking, and accounting data connect seamlessly on a single platform that gives you efficient payroll, invoicing, and real-time profitability reports.*
Pay with checks, free direct deposit,* or a combination of both. Give employees access to an online portal to view pay stubs, W-2s, time off balances, and more. Plus, offer a 401(k) plan through Guideline that's integrated with QuickBooks.*
Manage sales orders on one central dashboard from start to finish with Desktop Enterprise’s pick, pack, and ship tools.*
Automate price changes based on volume discounts, promo pricing, holidays, and high-value customers. Set granular pricing rules by category. Apply multiple rules at once or override rules at the transaction level.*
Improve your team's productivity by easily tracking customer prepayments on estimates and sales orders, and then automatically apply those payments when sales orders are converted to invoices.*
With preferred rates on QuickBooks Desktop Payments, Desktop Enterprise customers save an average of 18% on Payments fees.* Accept credit cards, ACH, and eChecks. Eligible payments can be deposited the next day or instantly.*
