QBO and Enterprise Work Together?

QB Desktop and QB Online are 2 different platforms. You can setup a simple private cloud solution with your QB Desktop at your office to combine LAN users and remote users working on the same file in mult-user mode. The cost is $22.5/month/remote user access and you can use in turns if required.

Hello there, Gambit.

I agree with 4Gal that QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and QuickBooks Online (QBO) are two different platforms designed to work independently from each other.

As a workaround, you can set up a cloud-hosting with your QBDT to remote users working on the same file in multi-user mode. With cloud access helps boost productivity, enhance collaboration, and lets your team work from anywhere.

I'll add these articles for your reference to know authorized providers:

• Hosting providers
• Work from anywhere with hosting

In addition, you can check out these articles to learn on how to move or convert data from one platform to another:

• Move your QBDT file to QBO
• Export and convert your QBO data to QBDT

I'll keep an eye out for your reply. And if you have any other QBDT-related concerns, feel free to include them in the comments. We're here to assist you 24/7.

QBDT user interface is not user-friendly when used on a tablet or mobile device IMO. It's too "chunky". I need all the capabilities of Enterprise in the office and a stripped-down user-friendly version in the field. And I need them to sync.

The QuickBooks Desktop mobile app currently does not have the feature you requested, @Gambit. The only available feature in the QBDT mobile app is automation entries.

As my colleague mentioned, we can use cloud hosting for remote users working on the same file in multi-user mode. I recommend using the installed QuickBooks Desktop software if you want to use all the features available on your computer. 

Moreover, let me share these articles again for you to check if you ever decide to use the hosting: 

• Hosting providers authorized by Intuit
• QuickBooks Enterprise with Hosting, Cloud Hosting | QuickBooks

Keep me posted if you still have concerns about your QuickBooks Desktop features. Have a great day ahead, and take care.
