Here's what switching from QuickBooks to Kantivo saves you:
Nobody switches accounting software until they know the history survives the trip. So, plainly: your company file stays where it is. What moves is an export taken out of QuickBooks — accounts, customer and supplier records, and the transactions behind them.
Exports are produced by QuickBooks itself, which means you need a copy that still launches. Anyone whose licence sits on ageing hardware, or who is running a release Intuit has already retired, should pull that export today and decide about software afterwards. Support for the 2023 editions ended on 31 May 2026; the 2024 line — Intuit's final non-Enterprise release — follows on 30 September 2027. Once the file is saved somewhere safe, no deadline can strand your records.
Why we can't just read your .qbw. QuickBooks keeps everything inside a proprietary .qbw company file, and Intuit has never opened that format to anybody. No competing package reads one — which is precisely why Intuit's own migration into QuickBooks Online begins with an export as well. Kantivo accepts IIF, CSV, Excel, QIF, QFX and QBO.
A realistic timescale. Exporting and loading takes very little time. Verifying the result against your previous balances is the real work, and rushing it is a false economy. Treat opening balances, reconciled banking and a clean chart of accounts as the job — get those right and your first month closes without drama.
Supported editions. QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, Mac and Enterprise, including releases as old as 2013. The IIF format has stayed remarkably stable across those two decades. If your setup is unusual or the export won't behave, tell us what you're working with — you'll get a reply from a person, generally the same day.

Most Desktop users treat going online as continuity and switching vendors as risk. That instinct is doing a lot of work for the incumbent. Per Intuit's own support documentation, these data types cannot be converted from Desktop to QuickBooks Online:
The import also expires. You get 60 days counted from the creation of the online company — which is often weeks before anyone begins the actual conversion — and files past 750,000 transaction lines are flagged by Intuit for discrepancies and slow processing.
To be straight with you: budgets and memorised entries get rebuilt wherever you go, including here. What changes is the framing. Support for Desktop 2023 ended on May 31, 2026 and Desktop 2024 follows on September 30, 2027, so every remaining option is a migration — which makes the destination the only thing left to choose.

Intuit put QuickBooks Online up twice inside 2026 — once on 1 May, again on 1 August. Plus finished the run 55% dearer than it started. Your Kantivo rate does not move for 12 years.
Advanced took it harder still across the same months: $200 → $250 → $340/mo, a 70% jump. The Desktop line was not spared either — roughly 10% on 1 February 2026, with a single-user Desktop Pro Plus renewal moving from $999 to $1,149 a year, for software Intuit closed to new customers back in September 2024.
Kantivo: $299/year today = $299/year in 2037. Guaranteed.
