A thread that just includes alternatives to Quickbooks

Hello there, @Wideopenspaces.

I want to make sure you get the help you need.

To ensure we're on the same page, can you add more details about the help you need with QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Payroll? Any extra information is appreciated.

In the meantime, you can visit our Community website for tips and related articles on managing your account.

We are looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Alternatives to QB Desktop are QB Online and other cloud based accounting apps. I can recommend some of them if required.

I am looking for alternatives also, I have used Quickbooks Desktop for over 20 years. Looking to switch as soon as I finish 1st Qtr payroll taxes. Nothing cloud, only desktop. We need payroll for 4 employees. I don't mind if the payroll service is a separate program from the accounting program.

Hey there, @kfreeman. 

Thanks for chiming in on this thread about alternatives. 

Although I can't provide you with a direct app to use, we do have a site that can list all apps available for QuickBooks Desktop:

If you are working solo on a desktop (PC or Mac) to manage your book and only need basic features, you should explore a free program. You can use the program for as long as you like, use all the features and enter as much data as required. There are no time limits, no usage limits, no ads (at this time). This program is quite popular in Asia and Europe.

Which programs do you recommend as a QB desktop alt?

Which QB Desktop year version do you run now?

QB Pro 2020

You are using QBD 2020 with a non subscription license. Why do you need to replace it? Any specific concern?
