QB Premier Retail 2023 - How to condense or create new database from existing database

Hi.  We have QB Premier Retail 2023 Canadian Edition.  Our data file is extremely large.  I've researched and have discovered that you can only condense the database in the US version and it's recommended to purchase a 3rd party application.  Is this the only option?  We are also looking at creating a new company file that will pull company information like accounts, inventory, etc at fiscal end. I also can't see any options to do that either.

 

Any help is appreciated!

You are correct. The condense feature is only available on US version. You have to purchase a 3rd party condense service to do so. You can use a migration tool to create a new company file and migrate the beginning balances. It's a one time license.

Another option, if you don't use QB Payroll, you can use the trial version of QB Desktop Enterprise for good to upgrade your company file if required.

Hello RG771. Thanks for chiming in on this thread. To make sure I'm on the same page as you, could you elaborate more on your question and what you're looking to accomplish using QuickBooks?
