This is true.  However we are a small business and the Online version is miserable.  I finally tried it for 20 minutes and cancelled immediately.  It's purpose is for being able to send your work out online.  Intuit hires people to work as a Quickbooks Pro Advisor and bookkeeping...BUT you are forced to use QB Online.  They make you fear you will no longer have support.  Its not that won't support problem shooting but rather that they won't come out with additional updates or fixes.  QB Desktop 2024 will be it.  If you have it already, you're good.  If you want to purchase it....not so lucky.  BUT, just use your older version.  In addition Payroll features were focused through Online as well.  However, you can set up Payroll manually in Quickbooks Desktop even if you didn't purchase Payroll.  I am a bookkeeper with 40 years experience.  I would love to work for people doing their books and would even be willing to go through Quickbooks.  But they only want to talk about Pro Advisor, Sales, those type things.  Testing and classes.  I simply want to find clients on my own or via Quickbooks.  I don't mind being an employee.
