QWhat is QuickBooks Enterprise?
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is the most powerful product in Intuit’s QuickBooks Desktop family. It offers the same core accounting as Pro and Premier but supports up to 40 users, holds far more data, and adds advanced capabilities — Advanced Inventory, Advanced Pricing, deep job costing, 200+ reports, and industry-specific editions — for mid-sized and growing businesses.
QIs QuickBooks Enterprise desktop or cloud-based?
Enterprise is desktop software at its core, installed on your computer or server. You can also add cloud hosting through Intuit’s approved providers to access it from any browser, so it can run in the cloud when you want anywhere access while keeping its desktop power.
QWho is QuickBooks Enterprise for?
It is built for mid-sized and growing businesses that have outgrown QuickBooks Pro, Premier, or Online — companies needing more users, larger data capacity, multi-location inventory, advanced pricing, deep job costing, or industry-specific tools for construction, manufacturing and wholesale, nonprofits, retail, or professional services.
QHow much does QuickBooks Enterprise cost?
Through CPAWarehouse, Enterprise starts at $1,498/yr for Silver, $1,768/yr for Gold, and $2,174/yr for Platinum (single user, billed annually), up to 20% below Intuit MSRP. Diamond is priced on request. Final cost depends on edition, number of users, and optional add-ons like cloud hosting.
QHow many users does QuickBooks Enterprise support?
Up to 40 simultaneous users, compared with up to 3 for Pro and up to 5 for Premier. Permissions are fully customizable with 14+ predefined roles, so each user gets only the access their job requires.
QWhat editions and industry versions are available?
Enterprise comes in four editions — Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond — that build on each other with payroll, Advanced Inventory, Advanced Pricing, and the Diamond extras. It also offers industry-specific versions for Contractors, Manufacturing & Wholesale, Nonprofits, Retail, and Professional Services.
QHow is QuickBooks Enterprise different from Pro, Premier, and Online?
Enterprise supports far more users (40 vs 3–5 for Pro/Premier, up to 25 for Online Advanced), holds much more data, and adds Advanced Inventory, Advanced Pricing, deeper job costing, and 200+ reports that the others lack. Online’s advantage is native cloud access; Enterprise can match that with optional hosting while offering greater depth.
QIs QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise being discontinued?
No. While Intuit stopped selling new QuickBooks Pro and Premier subscriptions to new customers in 2024, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise remains available to new customers and is the desktop product Intuit continues to support and update. Choosing Enterprise means choosing the desktop platform with a clear path forward.
