How do you download all your accounting data before closing down your company?

We're sad to see you go, amitabh. I'm here to help you download your data and cancel your account.

 

We can export your QuickBooks Online reports, lists, and other data onto your computer hard drive. It'll help us secure a handy copy of your company file.

 

Here's how to export your reports and lists:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Export Data (under Tools).
  2. Toggle to Reports or Lists to decide which data you want to export first.
  3. Filter the correct dates.
  4. Once done, click the Export to Excel button.

 

To download a different report, please see this article: Export reports to ExcelCustomise the data to get the details that matter to you most.

 

Moreover, the downloaded reports only include the data from posting transactions (invoices, receipts, bills, balances, and so on). To export non-posting information, I suggest following the instructions shared in this article: Download some of the most needed data, lists, and reports.

 

Alternatively, you can look for a third-party converter tool to help you download your data.

 

Once done, you can proceed to cancel your account. Please note that you'll have read-only access to your data for one year after the cancellation.

 

In case you'd like to resubscribe in the future, you can easily reactivate your account. We'd love to have you back!

 

You can always comment below if you have any other concerns or questions about downloading your books or canceling your account. I'm always glad to help in any way I can.

Another option, purchase a 3rd party service to convert your data to a free accounting app.
