I have been using QB since it was created back in the DOS days! I am with you. I have already tried QBO and it stinks. First, like you, I don't want to be at the mercy of internet service [failing]. I also lose all my sub Contacts, i.e. jobs under each Customer. I have many dozens of those since I serve property management companies. Unfortunately I haven't found a substitute software/app yet that has done what QB has done on a good day and everyone wants you to do an online subscription unless you have an enterprise structure.

Any heads up?
