I am mildly terrified there will be a move by many of these companies, NO proof QuickBooks is one of them, to eventually remove the need for us altogether.

I am wondering if the introduction of an AI interface, or document conversion service is in the immediate future plan, and this mobilization of data, accessible to the cloud, is not a necessary preparatory step.

I see that some QBO options are now only available to use with Microsoft 365 online, that is again, unfortunate for those of us that like control of our data.

The way this is laying out is brilliant for them, in a way that is not helpful to us, but we are collateral damage in this fictitious scenario.

The business/software owners, that would profit from such a move, are the real customers.

The first priority is to get everyone out of the programs they cannot control, and dependent on the new platform.

This platform would not be easy to transfer out of, if you do not like the direction the software is headed, or the cost.

Just a thought
