Steer Clear of Quickbooks - Zero Backup or Support in 2024.

My advice is do not touch Quickbooks! I have had various desktop versions for 23 years. The program has always been horrible to set up with dreadful fiddly templates and a default font for every section of the page and there are many. Now that support for the desktop version has been discontinued my original validation code and customer number no longer work after a fresh install on a new PC. I cannot get a new validation code and the Indian call centre is totally useless in this regard ("we only deal with the online version"). Why would you want all your data online? The UK phone numbers didn't work for an entire day that I tried to call. So the net result is I cannot open the program, I have no access to any of my clients , invoicing or other data. I would never touch Quickbooks Online even if it was free, which it isn't. There simply have to be better solutions out there. Use Quickbooks at your peril.
