Should desktop pro 2018 talk along time to do when bringing company files to online QB?

Hello there, maira8440.

 

Let me share some information about how long it takes to bring company files from QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Depending on the amount of data to transfer, the migration process from QBDT to QBO using Intuit's internal tool can usually be completed in up to two hours once your data is uploaded. Moreover, there are some factors to consider when converting your data, such as the speed of your computer, company file size, and internet connection, also you have to make sure QuickBooks is up to date. This guarantees you have the most recent features and fixes.

 

Once you have completed the technique, you can attempt to transfer your data. For a comprehensive guide, please refer to this article: Move your QuickBooks Desktop file to QuickBooks Online.

 

If you encounter any issues during migration, please contact our support team for assistance. Let me walk you through how:

 

1. Access your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company, go to Help (?).

2. Choose either of these tabs:

  • Assistant tab and type Talk to a human.
  • Search tab and click on Contact us to connect with a support expert.

3. Select your preferred method of contact (phone or chat).

 

You can also check this article for more details and be sure to review their support hours to know when agents are available.

 

I highly recommend checking out this resource on what to expect when you switch from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online. It provides detailed information on what data will be converted during the process.

 

Feel free to post if you have other concerns with migrating your data from QBDT to QBO or any QuickBooks-related concerns we're here to help you further. Keep safe!
