Why move online

Desktop served you well. Online takes you further.

QuickBooks Online gives you and your accountant the same up-to-date books, from anywhere — no more emailing backup files back and forth.

Work from anywhere

Check cash flow from your phone, raise an invoice on site, close the month from home. Your books live in the cloud, not on one office PC.

Automatic, safe backups

No more lost data when a laptop dies. QuickBooks Online backs up continuously, so your records are always protected and recoverable.

Real-time with your accountant

Your accountant sees the same live books you do. Faster reporting, faster VAT, fewer back-and-forth requests at year end.

Running an older Desktop version? Intuit continues to wind down support and sales of QuickBooks Desktop. Moving to Online now keeps you on a supported, current platform — and we handle the whole transition for you.
