Totally concur - Last year my Qbks Pro Advisor fee was increased from $1,292 up to $1,781 - up a whopping 37.85%.  Now they have gone to annual fee for my 40 plus Qbks users to an annual fee of $570.  I used to be able to get them their annual payroll subscription for free, which was also a selling point for them to go with Qbks as their accounting software.  It was good!!! Not it very much turns me off.  I have been a Qbks Pro Advisor going back to 2000 and have paid them nearl $18k in annual fees.  Same way with the Intuio Pro Series tax software - been using them going back to around 2002 or so (whenever it was that they purchased my previous tax software) and it has been a very good tax software and you can easily upload your Qbks numbers into the tax software - but the past 7-8 years their annual price continues to increase to where the competition is now worth looking at - even if I have to enter the numbers manually.  Anyway, really  thinking it is time to look elsewhere.
