Hi E A Johnson, thanks for posting on the Community

 

Following the discontinuation in June 2023, we no longer offer QuickBooks Desktop products in the UK. Are you enquiring about a US QuickBooks Enterprise product?

Yes GeorgiaC. The US QuickBooks product (Desktop version) is what most of us in Nigeria are functional with.

And QuickBooks recently posted a new package of the Enterprise plan that can be access from anywhere.

That's an upgrade and i will like to have more details on it.

Hello there, E A. Thank you for the additional details you've shared. I'm here to provide more information about QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enterprise with Cloud Access.

 

The QBDT cloud hosting allows users to access their software and data remotely via a secure cloud server. This solution combines the familiar QuickBooks Desktop environment with the flexibility and convenience of cloud technology. Here are the key benefits:

  • Multi-User Collaboration: Multiple users can access the same QuickBooks file simultaneously, improving teamwork and efficiency.
  • Scalability: Easily adjust your hosting plan as your business grows, whether you need more storage or additional user licenses.
  • 24/7 Technical Support: Many hosting providers offer around-the-clock support to resolve issues quickly.

QuickBooks Enterprise with Cloud Access

QuickBooks Enterprise with Cloud Access is basically QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise plus a hosted Windows environment so you can run the desktop app from anywhere (instead of being tied to one office PC/server).

1) Total cost (software + hosting)

There isn’t one fixed price. It depends on:

  • Enterprise tier (Gold/Platinum/Diamond)

  • number of users

  • payroll/add-ons

  • hosting/storage needs

In most cases, it’s an Enterprise subscription + a per-user hosting cost (often billed monthly). The fastest way to get the real number is to quote it for your tier + user count.

2) Advantages beyond remote access

Compared to running Enterprise only on a local desktop/server, you usually get:

  • Centralized access for your team (work from anywhere, same setup)

  • Backups handled in the hosted environment (less “did someone back it up?” risk)

  • Less IT overhead (no local server maintenance, patching headaches, etc.)

  • Better continuity if the office PC dies or someone’s laptop gets stolen

3) Other helpful notes

  • You’re still using Desktop Enterprise, not QuickBooks Online.

  • Your experience depends on internet stability.

  • Confirm any integrations you use (bank feeds, add-ons, scanners, etc.) work in the hosted setup.

If you tell me your user count and tier, I can help you estimate the typical cost range and what to watch for.
