Common questions when switching to QuickBooks Online:
What happens to my existing data in QuickBooks Desktop?
Nothing. Your data is copied and added online. Your original data remains untouched in its original form.
Does QuickBooks Online sync with my QuickBooks Desktop version?
No, QuickBooks Online is a completely independent version of QuickBooks, so you will be able access QuickBooks entirely online from your browser or mobile device.
How do I know my data imported correctly?
There are some best practices to follow – like double checking by running a Profit & Loss report and Balance Sheet report on Accrual method, for all dates. Do this for both programs and compare your balances to make sure things match.
