Quickbooks Online

Quickbooks online is slow, unproductive and frustrating.  Please, please, please bring back desktop.

We understand your feelings and recognize why you felt that way, Ryan. Having firsthand experience with the reliance on QuickBooks, I also want to use a program that provides an optimized experience, especially for streamlining processes to effectively manage transactions. Allow me to provide troubleshooting steps to help you improve the speed and productivity of your QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To optimize your QBO experience, start by ensuring that your device meets the necessary system requirements and that its operating system is up to date.

 

Next, consider the performance factors related to your computer, including its processing power, available memory (RAM), and internet bandwidth. To assess your connection quality, you can run a Google Speed Test to check your bandwidth or connection speed.

 

By evaluating these factors, you can better identify the cause of any slow performance you may be experiencing.

 

For more information on how internet browsers and mobile connections can impact QBO's performance, take a look at this article: Why is my QuickBooks Online slow?

 

Moreover, only the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise remains available for use. If you're considering using one, check out this page: QuickBooks Enterprise.

 

Refer to this article to learn how to transfer all your data and transactions from QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop with the help of the migration tool: Move data from QBO to QBDT.

 

Please keep us posted whenever you need extra assistance with the program performance or QuickBooks-related tasks. We're eager to aid you in streamlining your business functions.

You can still switch back to QB Desktop if required.

It’s not my system. My system and bandwidth far exceeds the requirements.

My understanding is that Quickbooks Desktop is no longer foe sale and support has ended.
