Hi ltm1801

Don't blame your accountant.  Accounting professional's QBD pro has been an annual subscription for years.  With the introduction of an annual subscription for regular

users in 2022, the prices for accounting professionals has doubled annually along with a.hard push to migrate existing desktop clients to QBO.  When QBD goes out of support it is not just the loss of security updates but also, the.loss of bank features such as connections to update transaction info or even importing QBO files download from the bank.  No one has the time for manual entry.  

Unfortunately, pretty much everything a business needs to operate has gone to cloud-based, subscription software.  Adobe, office,.etc. have all done the same and the versions you purchased in the past, no longer function with the add ons needed to make them powerful tools or with the updated computers you need to run Windows 11.  I wish I could tell you QBO is a.viable alternative but it isn't.  Someday a bright entrepreneur will come up with an accounting package that takes us back to the robust functionality of QuickBooks desktop so accountants can make the switch.  We just have to cross our fingers Intuit doesn't buy that as well and bury it like they've done with pretty much anything else that worked.
