Yes, Steve. You can transition from QuickBooks Online Plus to QuickBooks Desktop for Mac. Allow me to guide you through the steps to make this possible.
Moving your data from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to QuickBooks Desktop for Mac involves a multi-step process. First, you'll need to export your data from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop for Windows using the trial version. This step requires using the QuickBooks migration tool, which you can download from within QuickBooks Online.
Second, once your data is in QuickBooks Desktop for Windows, you'll convert it to a Mac-compatible format by creating a MAC.qbb file using the "Copy Company File for QuickBooks Mac" option.
Before proceeding, please note that QuickBooks Desktop for Mac is a subscription model. It is essential to ensure you have the necessary subscription or plan to upgrade. If you haven't subscribed yet, I recommend contacting our Sales Representative for assistance. You can find the contact number and more information on our QuickBooks Solution resource page.
To begin with migrating, please take note of the following:
- A Windows computer with Internet Explorer 11 or higher when exporting your data file is a must.
- QuickBooks Desktop for Windows must be the same version or earlier than Mac.
Please refer to the Download a Trial of QuickBooks Desktop link to get the version of QBDT you'll want to use. It provides license and product numbers you can enter upon installing the sample file.
You could also consider exploring third-party applications integrated with QuickBooks that offer more flexible migrating processes. You can visit our QuickBooks App Store to discover apps that best fit your business needs. Navigate to the CATEGORIES section and select the perfect app for you.
Furthermore, I've included these resources to help you manage third-party app integrations and generating customize reports to check the accuracy of your financial data:
