QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP ENTERPRISE

Migrating to Desktop Enterprise from Pro or Premier

Frequently asked questions

How do I migrate from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online?

What happens to my existing data in QuickBooks Desktop when moving to QuickBooks Online Advanced?

How long will it take to migrate my data from QuickBooks Desktop to Intuit Enterprise Suite?

The timeline for your migration depends on your goals: some businesses prefer an extensive data history, while others prefer to start fresh with a clean Chart of Accounts.

We'll help you to determine the best approach with an AI-driven migration and a dedicated customer success manager—no months-long deployments, no heavy consulting fees, and no starting over. We’ll start with a data assessment to see what you need, then provide a firm estimate on timing, so you can plan your go-live date with confidence.

What data migration option makes sense for my business when moving to Intuit Enterprise Suite?

You have a few migration options:

Clean slate: Start fresh, especially if your QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, or third-party tool isn’t set up correctly or you want to declutter.

Bring over lists and balances: Bring over the framework, but not all of the details. This is a great option for companies that want to make some tweaks or declutter before importing into Intuit Enterprise Suite.

Use our data conversion tool: Bring over the framework and most of the details.
