No problem, I returned to retirement, looking forward to 4 months of unemployment, do some travel, etc. Two weeks later, a large real estate company gave me a call. In short order, I was hired in their tax department. Having a blast, great company, and it's run by adults.
A few weeks ago, I learned that my previous employer hired 3 accountants...to replace me...lol.
You’re lucky. QuickBooks on line sucks like crazy. It’s clunky, lacks a lot of features, the cloud aspect means it doesn’t do anything fast, you gave to relog in after so many minutes, AND you no longer control your data, QuickBooks has it in the cloud.
Of course, if you insist on getting it back, they are happy to give it to you as a massive comma delimited file.
Intuit are a bunch of crooks. They are running a scam. I’ve been dealing with them for 25 years, and they are one of the most dishonest outfits I’ve had to deal with. I only use them because my clients buy the marketing lie that QBs will turn them into brilliant bookkeepers, so I need it to access their accounting.
