Recommendations for CSV\Excel Statement Importing to QB Desktop Pro 2020?
TLDR: Do you have suggestions for third-party software to import bank statement transactions into Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2020?
I've used Quickbooks Desktop Pro for bookkeeping for over 15 years now. I would typically buy the current version every 3 years or so to maintain Online Bank Feeds functionality. I understand this was already basically "a subscription", but the new subscription-only Quickbooks is nearly three times the cost, and subscriptions tend to disable your access to the software entirely if you don't keep subscribing, so I'm not wiling to sign up for that.
They've now discontinued the Bank Feeds online feature for Desktop Pro 2020 (frustrating, but whatever) but ALSO the ability to import qbo files at all, which feels tantamount to extortion, since the format of the files hasn't changed since 2018.
It appears that QB does not have a native functionality for importing bank transactions from csv or xls files (which seems like an intentional decision to limit function), so I'm looking for third-party software to import transactions. (Alternatively, a "buy it and own it" alternative to Quickbooks entirely.)
All I use Quickbooks for is bookkeeping, writing checks, and generation of records like Profit-Loss, Balance Sheets, etc.
A quick Google Search turned up Transaction Pro, which has a 7-day free trial, but I'm curious if anyone has positive experience with importer software.
