This is a new client and apparently they had a lot of trouble migrating their data from desktop, They told me Intuit had to take a few attempts and at one point a chunk of data was lost. I want to download a quickbooks desktop trial to restore their backup to get a trial balance, itemised aged debtors, creditors and bank reconciliations to try to get their current data sorted out.

Ask your client. Which QB Desktop year version they have.

Let's make sure you'll be able to download the trial version, office257.

Also, to ensure that the migration process is correct, I've provided this article for your guide: Migrating From QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online.
