I am a bookkeeping service with Quickbooks Premier 2021.  In order to keep this version forever, I have migrated my payroll to Payroll Mate and am no longer using any QB  payroll services. I thought this would be a nightmare, but it was really pretty easy.  I can now keep my purchased version of Quickbooks, and never have to migrate to either online or subscription.  It was well worth the little bit of extra work.
