RIP QuickBooks Desktop in 2024?
Hector and Alicia react to Intuit's bombshell announcement that QuickBooks will end new subscriptions for QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, and Mac after July 31, 2024 - marking the beginning of the end for the desktop software. They discuss implications for accountants and small businesses, Intuit's motivations to move users to QuickBooks Online, the pros and cons of the online platform, and hopes that resources dedicated to Desktop can now improve QuickBooks Online.
