I have been looking for a reason to leave Quick Books and this may be the reason. I have been a user since 2000 and it get more $$$$$ every year.
I have several Discover Card Accounts and the thought of leaving them and their excellent customer/security service is heart breaking. Discover says it is Intuit that will not play nice.
I want to stay on Desktop for the same reason as lizzc, not everyone has great broadband service and I want my books "in house" when I want to work on them, rain or shine. My choice of internet connect is DSL or Starlink and although we did move to Starlink, I have not been on it long enough to know how reliable it will be in bad weather.
I am unhappy also that we can no longer purchase Desktop at stores such as Sams so we don't have to update EVERY year. My understanding is that there is a mandatory annual renewal of $500/year...maybe $450, and if you use QB Payroll, it is another $500. I only have TWO employees and will pay an additional $5/month/employee in addition to the annual subsctiption. Using Quick Book checks is another expense but I admit they are quality checks.
Leaving Quick Books may also cause me to have to change Accountants, depending on my selection as I understand many Farm Accounting Programs require their in house Accountants and are super complicated.
Do I sound up set? Up set doesn't even touch how I feel tonight.
