Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions 24 and online access options

We currently have QB Desktop Enterprise Solutions: Contractor 24. We have 4 separate companies set up within our single desktop account. The last time we looked into QBO/cloud options, there were none because we had 4 companies. I have been all over QB Support and Reddit, but I can't seem to find our specific set up and whether or not cloud access is an option for us. We have employees that would like to shift to working at home part time, but that hasn't been possible for us in the past. I see a lot of multicompany options with cloud access listed for upgrades, but it doesn't specify if they require separate subscriptions/accounts. Having 4 separate QB accounts seems costly and ineffective.

I understand how managing multiple companies in a single desktop account can make transitioning to a cloud-based solution feel challenging, nm39.

 

While QuickBooks Online (QBO) is a cloud-based alternative, it does not natively support managing multiple companies under one subscription. Each company would require its own QBO subscription. However, there is a possible cloud option that supports multi-company setups. QuickBooks Desktop Hosting.

 

You can transition your existing QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise software to a cloud-hosting provider. This allows you to maintain your current multi-company structure while enabling employees to work part-time from home remotely. A hosting provider runs your QuickBooks Desktop on a secure cloud server, allowing remote access without migrating to QBO or needing separate subscriptions.

 

Visit this resource to see which hosting providers are authorized by Intuit to host QuickBooks Desktop.

You can set up a private cloud solution. You'll combine LAN and internet connections to access your company files in multi-user mode.
