🚨 QuickBooks Desktop 2023 lost payroll & bank feed support on May 31, 2026. Still running Desktop 2023? Call now for migration help →
Staying on QuickBooks Desktop 2023 after May 2026 exposes your business to serious financial and security risks.
Without payroll tax table updates, QuickBooks Desktop 2023 will calculate taxes incorrectly — leading to IRS underpayment penalties and potential audits.
No more security patches means your QuickBooks data and financial information is vulnerable to malware, ransomware, and data breaches.
Bank feed connections are cut off — meaning manual bank reconciliation for every transaction. Hours of extra work every week.
Our independent specialists walk you through every step — from backup to go-live. Here is the complete process.
Before anything else, create a full local backup. Go to File → Back Up Company → Create Local Backup. Save the .QBB file to a safe location — external drive or cloud storage. This is your safety net.
QuickBooks Online has 4 plans: Simple Start (1 user, basic), Essentials (3 users, bills), Plus (5 users, inventory), Advanced (25 users, reporting). Most small businesses need Essentials or Plus. Our specialists help you choose the right plan.
In QuickBooks Online, go to Settings → Import Data → From QuickBooks Desktop. Upload your company file. The tool transfers: chart of accounts, customers, vendors, items, and up to 2 years of transactions. Large files may take 1-4 hours.
After import, run a Trial Balance in both systems and compare. Check customer balances, vendor balances, and opening account balances. This step is critical — do not skip it. Our specialists review this with you line by line if needed.
In QuickBooks Online, go to Banking → Connect Account to reconnect your bank accounts. Set up QuickBooks Payroll separately — payroll data does not transfer automatically and requires manual setup. This is where most businesses need specialist help.
QuickBooks Online has a different interface than Desktop. Walk your team through key workflows: invoicing, bill payment, payroll runs, and bank reconciliation. Run both systems in parallel for 2-4 weeks before going fully live on QB Online.
