Join nowI am a bookkeeper who has increased recently to several clients. My bookkeeping side job has turned into a full time business venture. My clients do not have their own Quickbooks. I manage their financials with my own copy of Quickbooks. What is the best desktop version of Quickbooks to buy for my business to use for managing my clients bookkeeping? I am currently using an older version of Quickbooks Enterprise and it sounds like once you convert to Enterprise, you can't convert back to Premier or anything below Enterprise. I am certainly not willing to pay to have my clients files converted to a version that is not Enterprise. What desktop version do I buy? I'm considering buying Desktop Enterprise Accountant. But is there any other version that I can buy that is more affordable, or if I do buy Enterprise Accountant, will that work for my business as the sole holder of the Quickbooks files? (unless my clients buy their own Enterprise copy which I highly doubt they want to do). I just need to know what to buy.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I would recommend QB Premier or QB Premier Accountant for 1 user with a one time license for your business. You may purchase a 3rd party downgrade service for your current QBD Enterprise files. Compare your total cost to downgrade the files versus your annual subscription of QBD Enterprise or QBD Enterprise Accountant. If you decided upgrading to QBD Enterprise 2021, you may purchase the license thru a partner to get a perpetual discount up to 20% off.

Thank you @Fiat Lux - ASIA for your quick response. How much does the 3rd party downgrade service cost per file? I have 6 current files I'm working with.
