Migration Corner: Moving from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online is easier than ever

The migration experience is easier than ever. Here are a few of our latest updates:

To help businesses in the construction industry, job costing data from QuickBooks® Desktop now migrates in QuickBooks Online. Jobs in Desktop will appear as Projects in Online, with Job costing data appearing as Costs in each projects. In addition, your clients can use QuickBooks Online Advanced to run a report with the same job profitability detail as they could in QuickBooks Desktop. For example, the estimates vs. actuals report in QuickBooks Online Advanced allows a project-based business to create an estimate that includes total cost to the business and markup for the customer. The business can then track the actual cost incurred as well as the income generated at the project level, relative to the estimate, and generate reports showing their performance.

Now, your clients who migrate to QuickBooks Online will have view-only access to their Desktop data without the expense of maintaining a secondary subscription. This access will allow them to refer back to reports, inventory, balances, and more for 12 months after canceling their QuickBooks Desktop subscription.* To access the new feature, subscription clients in QuickBooks Desktop 2023 or older versions will need to update to the latest 2023 version before their subscription expires. Learn more about view-only mode.

As you look at adding payroll for your clients in the new year, consider QuickBooks Online Payroll. It’s the solution that works seamlessly with QuickBooks Online to help your clients manage their business and pay their team in one place, all under one sign-in.* And now, migration to QuickBooks Online Payroll is more efficient than ever, with key payroll data migrating from QuickBooks Desktop. This data includes employer account and connection details, as well as direct deposit limits and employee bank details, with split payment account information to help ensure your clients can continue to pay their employees without interruption. You can even choose QuickBooks Online Payroll as a standalone service, for your clients who only need payroll and employee benefits.
