Frequently asked questions

Is QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise right for my business?

If you’re looking to use flexible, comprehensive tools on the go, anytime, anywhere, then QuickBooks Online may be a great choice for you.

But if your needs are greater, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is specifically designed to grow with product-based businesses with inventory needs, no matter the size. With Desktop Enterprise, you can scale the software as your business evolves, allowing you to add on functionality as you need it.

If you’re looking to manage pricing more efficiently, have employees in specialized roles and functions, have inventory as a core part of your business, or have multiple locations that need to be tracked and managed, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise would also work great for you.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise also makes an ideal option if you’re seeking an alternative to the accounting and business management solutions that can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Is QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise available in industry-specific editions?

Yes. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is available in the following industry-specific editions:

Each of these industry-specific editions has the same key features as the standard edition of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, plus additional reports and tools, such as charts of accounts and menu items tailored to your business type.

Can I get QuickBooks Enterprise in the cloud?

Yes, we offer QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with cloud hosting.** With cloud hosting, your software and data are stored and protected on remote servers, not on your office computers.

That means you have the extra flexibility of accessing QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise anytime, anywhere, and on any device, including Mac. Anyone in your organization, plus any authorized partners like your accountant, can work with the same data—no matter where they're located.

And, you can seamlessly connect apps critical to your business, like Microsoft Office, Google Chrome, Salesforce, or more than 200 additional apps and e-commerce tools.
