We're unable to sync the Desktop version with Quickbooks Online, mdan0912.

 

These two products are using different platforms and designed to work independently from each other. If you want to keep or use the two versions simultaneously, any transactions you've created in QBO will not automatically show up in the Desktop version or vice versa. 

 

Although, you can move or convert data from one platform to another. Check out these articles for more details:

Is integration between QB online and QB desktop an upcoming feature we can look forward to? Each one has its distinct advantages, and integration would allow for the best of both worlds and a superior product. For example, only QB online will allow me to "receipt snap" with my mobile phone for easier bookkeeping, while only QB desktop will import data directly into TurboTax Business for easier tax filing. Why can't we have both? I understand they are on different platforms, but let's not pretend that a skilled team of engineers couldn't integrate the two - or at least provide QB Online with all the same beneficial features that QB desktop has.

    Utilize the expense management app to integrate with QB Desktop.

    Utilize a bookkeeping app to integrate with QB Online and export a TXF file.

    Why do you need to sync them? If you need to consolidate them, you may find a 3rd party app to do so.

    Hi, I'm interested in this question. Is there a 3rd party app that allows you to consolidate QB online and QB Enterprises? I have 10 companies I'm running and have one online and the rest in Enterprise and need to run consolidated balance sheet and P&L regularly.
