Going to interview a new quickbooks Accountant /Bookeeper in another city. I am using QBpro Desktop 2019 for my business on one office computer. Do I just bring a copy of company file or load QB2019 to my laptop as second computer so she can look over files? I am probably at this point going to use her for cleaning up the books and then take her on after taxes. Presently other bookeeper who was a pro advisor, (I am not sure anymore) comes in to do books, but there is little communication with CPA who has moved far away and is semi retired. We just can't get old accounts from way back off the books. Time to make decisions !! What would the community recommend sans paper reports, and, can I have a laptop as part of my license that I can update on my network. Thanks for your anticipated help.

If you have QuickBooks Accountant, I suggest to use the Accountant's file transfer service to send accountant's copy. This way, you'll get the old accounts from way back off the books.
You can purchase another license to install QuickBooks to your laptop and access company files from the different computers at the same time. This way ,you can set up a multi-user network.
