I am a recently retired CPA.  I still use Quickbooks to manage my household finances because I know the product and I have 30 years of history in my file.  Quickbooks Desktop just raised their annual subscription price to $999.  Fuck that.  I'm not spending $1K per year for something I've already paid for many times over.  I really just need a reasonably priced desktop general ledger program. no billing or A/R or A/P, but it seems like no one is doing these anymore.  If I do get something cloud-based I need it to be able to import my Quickbooks data, and not be an Intuit product.  I may be asking the impossible, but if I'm not, I figure one of you assholes will know. Help out an old over here.

Yeah it does, thanks for the tip. I'm a little concerned with one of the reviews that says you effectively have to learn how to code to alter reports but maybe that's not really the case.  I'm also looking at Xero and Freshbooks.  

Can you piggyback on another CPA’s quickbooks account but keep your data private? Throw them $50 per year or pick up the lunch tab?

Ah I'd seen those as well but assumed perhaps wrongly they were cloud-based

Well all the other CPAs I know are retiring too, and all the ones that aren't use Qukckbooks online, which from my experience is a steaming pile of horseshit.
