We have QuickBooks Desktop 2023 version. Is there a 2024 version and do we need to upgrade to it?

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community! I understand that you're seeking information about the availability of QuickBooks Desktop 2024 and whether an upgrade is necessary for your business.

Yes, Intuit has released QuickBooks Desktop 2024. With each new version, QuickBooks includes enhancements, new features, and various improvements designed to streamline accounting processes and improve overall user experience.

The decision to upgrade depends on your specific business needs and circumstances. Here are a few factors to consider:

New Features and Enhancements:

• Every new release includes enhanced features, performance improvements, and potentially new tools that could benefit your business operations. Reviewing the features included in QuickBooks Desktop 2024 might help you decide whether an upgrade is beneficial.
• You can find a detailed comparison and the new features of the 2024 version on the QuickBooks website or in the release notes.

Support and Updates:

• Intuit typically provides support and updates for the current version and the previous two versions. Using an older version might mean you're missing out on important updates or security patches.
• As of now, support for QuickBooks Desktop 2023 will continue, but considering upgrading ensures you remain on a supported version for a longer period.

Compatibility and Integration:

• Ensure that any third-party applications or integrations you use with QuickBooks will continue to function properly with the newer version. Compatibility with operating systems and other software is also a key consideration.

Cost-Benefit Analysis:
