Upgrading from 2021 to 2024

I have seen some posts where some are not pleased with the 2024 version (buggy) and it is costly...

Which posts do you refer to?

I manage properties and have 7 clients that I have set up with their own companies within my program and don't wish to have any problems.

If you need to manage 7 company files separately, you will need to manage 7 QBO accounts. QB Desktop 2024 Premier Plus for single user = $950 vs 7 QB Online Plus = $7560 (7 x $90 x 12).

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, jdrichardson. I appreciate your detailed information.
