Hi

 

i wonder if anyone can help.  I currently have 5 companies i deal with.  two are in the Uk and thre are in the US. 

 

I am looking to move my two UK companies to QB from Sage.  Two of the US companies are online QB and one is enterprise desktop.  Obviously having them all on one version makes the most sense!

 

Here is my dilema.  I need payroll in the UK and need the facilities available in Enterprise.  Is it possible to get them all on enterprise and still have UK payroll

 

Thank you

Hello Nikki-bloom, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

So you can no longer us payroll in desktop it got removed from there, you can only use payroll in our online version. also it would depend on what tax/reporting is used in the USA for the US  companies and if that could be replicated to calculate the correct tax amount in GB product. You can only use one product at a time, so it would either have to be UK or US.

    Thank you for your reply.  I am starting to understand that the UK QB and US QB have differring platforms and cannot be used for both UK and US compqanies in the same plaform. Can QB UK and QB US platforms be used as seperate subscriptions?

    @nikki-bloom 

    US and UK are using different accounting principles.

    For UK companies, you have to decide which QB platform to use. QB Desktop or QB Online

    For US companies, you have some options:

    1. Migrate your QB Desktop data to QB Online

    2. Migrate QB Online data to QB Desktop Enterprise

     

    3. Migrate QB Online data to QB Desktop + Downgrade QB Desktop Enterprise to Premier Accountant. QB Premier Accountant with a single one time license is ideal to manage multi company files (only five people can use the same company file at the same time).

      Thank you. 

       

      Really appreciate your suggestions.  Im thinking a migration to enterprise is the way to go as one of the companies need the functionaility available in eneterprise.

      Which feature do you need in Enterprise? Many features are available in a 3rd party app. e.g You may combine QB Desktop Premier + inventory management app with the multi warehouse feature.
