What is the future of QuickBooks Desktop, will it be discontinued?
We continue to support our QuickBooks Desktop products and customers. For companies with complex business needs, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise continues to be our primary Desktop solution.
For QuickBooks Desktop Pro/Premier/Mac Plus subscription customers, we strongly encourage these customers to make the switch to QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Online provides many great benefits over desktop, such as remote access, enhanced flexibility, and real-time collaboration, and is where we’re prioritizing our innovation. For those customers that choose to stay on Desktop Plus subscriptions, we’ll continue to focus on product maintenance and security.
If you’re interested in moving to QuickBooks Online, book time with a product specialist or call us at 877 683 3280 to learn more about the differences between QuickBooks Online and Desktop. You can also find out about special offers available for QuickBooks Desktop customers that move to QuickBooks Online and how to switch.
