You can use one of the various remote desktop apps or you can just take a copy of the QBs file home - more on that at the bottom.
There are paid remote desktop apps, one was pointed out, or free ones that would probably work just fine for your needs. Some of it depends upon what you're going to do.
The paid versions obviously have extra options, most of which probably don't matter to you, but there is one important one. If you're going to be working on QBs remotely and there are people in your office you don't want to see the numbers or Accounts you're working on, then you need to make sure you get one that allows for the Remote Monitor to be blacked out.
For paid versions, I use AnyDesk and have had good luck with it.
On the free side there is CloudBerry, NoMachine and both Windows & macOS have a built in Remote Desktop program. TeamViewer, an excellent program, also offers a free version for Personal Use - you'll need to determine if your use would be "personal" or not.
In addition to Remote Desk, you have the option of just copying the file and taking it home. And there is one BIG advantage to this.... You will have a fully functional installation of QBs on a machine that is not in the office is there is a fire, flood, theft, etc. No remote desktop needed.
Down side is that you need to remember to make a copy of your Company File to take home if you intend to work on it. You could just get in a habit of making a copy before you go home AND before you go back to the office. You could just get in a habit of making the copy. Then your home "backup" will always be current.
And a "blend" option would be to get one of the free versions and use it to just copy the files to from the office whenever you need them.
