Cash Flow Projection Tool offline

We have QB Premier at our rural workshop which does not have an internet access.  We would like to start using the Cash Flow Projection tool.  Is there a way to download this feature to a flash drive and install the feature at the shop?

Hi Mattman83,

 

The latest version of QuickBooks, such as 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, allows you to use the Cash Flow Projections feature without an internet connection. 

 

Here's the link for reference: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/products/.

 

If you’d like to try QuickBooks first, you can download a free 30-day trial here.

 

Once you download QuickBooks Desktop, follow the steps in this article to install the software: Install QuickBooks Desktop.

 

QuickBooks also offers budgeting and forecasting tools to help you plan and make smart business decisions.

 

Let us know if you have further questions. We'll be around.

Thank you for the thorough explanation.  Our version is currently 2011 I think.  Company -> Planning & Budgeting -> Cash Flow Projector brings up a window that tries to connect to the internet; no "Next" option.  Are you saying that once loading the updates that you described, the Cash Flow Projector window will no longer need to connect to the internet?  Thanks!

I appreciate you asking clarifications about the Cash Flow Projector, @Mattman83.

 

The option is a built-in feature in QBDT, so downloading it separately to a flash drive is currently unavailable. It also requires a supported version of the program and an updated Internet Explorer to work. That said, it's necessary to have access to the internet to use the tool.

I recommend upgrading your QuickBooks Desktop and installing the latest version of IE to utilize the feature. Take a look at this link to see the updated pricing and exciting features: Choose your QuickBooks Desktop product.

 

You're always welcome to the drop by the Community if you need anything else. It's a pleasure to help. Have a good day!
