Why are your prices for the QuickBooks Desktop Accountant Bundle going up?

What are the benefits of using QuickBooks overall?

Here are a few business benefits of using QuickBooks:

I only use the desktop software to migrate clients to QuickBooks Online. Why should I have to pay more?

It’s great that you are advocating for small business owners to move online and we appreciate your support. We have spoken to accountants who use the desktop software to migrate clients to online. Many charge a fee for migration services that covers the cost of the accountant’s time and effort, as well as the cost of the subscription, setting a price that makes sense for their business. Accountants who do not want to maintain a subscription have the following alternatives for migrating client books to online: 

1. Use QuickBooks Online Migration Tool to upload a backup copy of data.
2. Work with the QuickBooks online service delivery team (QBOA Account Manager refers).
3. Accountants can also start a fresh set of books for their client.
