Financial management is the backbone of success for small to medium-sized businesses, and selecting the right accounting software is a pivotal decision. QuickBooks, a leading solution by Intuit, has long been the go-to for companies worldwide. However, with the ever-evolving business landscape and Intuit’s announcement that sales of QuickBooks Desktop Plus versions will end on July 31st, 2024, many are reconsidering their current setup.
If you’re currently using an older version of QuickBooks Pro or Premier, the discontinuation news might leave you pondering your next move. While the Premier Plus version might seem like the next logical step, let’s delve into why upgrading to QuickBooks Enterprise is not just a choice but a strategic business decision.
Understanding the Shift
Intuit’s decision to halt the sale of QuickBooks Desktop Plus versions marks a significant pivot in its offering strategy, emphasizing a focus on more robust solutions like QuickBooks Enterprise. Given that Premier and Pro are considered entry-level versions with limited features and database capabilities, and the fact that the price for a single-user license is $949.00 per year, it’s time to look beyond past Premier Plus to QuickBooks Enterprise.
