My Client has been using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise with cloud hosting since 2016 and they have 3 business. If the client was to switch to QuickBooks online they would need multiple Online accounts one foe each business correct? How can we retain access to all the historical files?
The client is not utilizing most of the enterprise features but needs cloud hosting, trying to find best solution to save money.
Thank you

You can use the trial version of QB Desktop Enterprise for good to access your historical data.
