I was a QB user MANY years ago when ONE disk covered everything. I know, I'm showing my age - LOL

I'm trying to help a friend that has a bookkeeper that it looks like is taking advantage. Want to start with doing his payroll for 6 employees initially & if it appears this is what is happening, I will get full version to cover all bookkeeping for company and take over.  Is there software I can purchase that is stand alone for payroll so initially we don't have to pay subscription costs?

Hi @Snanco505.

 

The standalone version of QuickBooks Desktop is no longer available directly from Intuit. It has become subscription-based since the 2022 version. Let me provide insights about the discontinuation of the QuickBooks Desktop version.

 

After September 30, 2024, Intuit will no longer sell certain products. This includes all versions of QuickBooks Desktop Pro, QuickBooks Desktop Premier, QuickBooks Desktop for Mac, and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions from 2022. Other Intuit products will also be affected by the discontinuation of this service.

 

Currently, we only offer QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for purchase on our website, which includes comprehensive software packages with payroll included. If you need payroll services, you might consider utilizing a third-party app.

 

Additionally, QuickBooks plans to halt sales of versions to new subscribers in the U.S. For more details on this change, check the following link: Can't buy QuickBooks Desktop as a new US subscriber.

 

If you’re looking to transition from desktop to online, here are some helpful resources:
