Intuit is shutting down all desktop versions of QuickBooks except Enterprise, which is very VERY expensive and forces you to have them do payroll, so they'll be in your computer and it's very VERY expensive.  They expect to get large companies to use them but after their latest stunts.... Customer service told me: "your desktop accountants version is a commodity and you can sell it" How rude is that, when they are shutting it down in May of 2027 anyway. We would never do that, it's bad business.  We are looking for a non cloud based accounting package, double entry system, offers payroll and downloading.  We doubt we'll ever find a company who has the audacity to treat  their customers as badly as QB has. Their $1500  a year, every year increases was and is abusive.  To get QB desktop with DO IT YOURSELF payroll is $4900 in 2026!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE, can anyone recommend an accounting package that is not cloud based, double entry system, offers payroll and downloading.
