Now that QB is switching to an on-line platform at the end of this month which that lacks a number of features that the desktop version has (or had). Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternate to look at? I am primarily concerned with the payroll side.
Most of QB Desktop is not ending in May, just some of the older versions of Desktop (ex. v2020) and other specific older things like Point of Sale versions are getting access to things like online payroll services disconnected. You can read more about what is being disconnected at the link below. You can get a subscription to QBD Pro Plus 2023 currently with most online services like payroll if needed. It is getting crazy expensive if you need multiple users or "advanced" features though. They basically hide it online so it's best to find a 3rd party seller or accountant sales rep or just call their sales number and just go thru the hassle of telling their sales team you want Desktop and not QBOnline. I Gave QBOnline a real go for 2 years but it is such a cobbled together mess of companies which Intuit bought up and then tried to shoehorn into a single interface, the backend just breaks WAY too much and data gets corrupted beyond repair even for their "upper level" techs. Was a 2 year nightmare for me personally, and I will never go back to it.
