Migrating Desktop Payroll and Payments to QuickBooks Online Without Starting Over

Converting from QuickBooks Desktop to Online doesn't have to mean rebuilding your payroll from scratch or losing all your attachments.

He also uncovers the quietly released feature that now migrates attachments, along with the specific file prep steps needed to make it work.SponsorsDigits - https://uqb.promo/digitsAssembly - https://uqb.promo/assemblyAFWA - https://uqb.promo/afwa(00:00) - Welcome to The Unofficial QuickBooks Accountants Podcast (00:58) - Understanding Migration vs. Conversion (02:35) - Challenges in Migrating Payroll (05:50) - The Importance of Admin Roles (17:41) - Migrating Attachments (23:03) - Practical Tips for Migration (30:25) - Upcoming Events and Conferences LINKSAlicia’s book about Converting from QBDT to QBO: http://royl.ws/QBDT_to_QBO QBO Bootcamp: http://royl.ws/QBO-Fundamentals-Course?affiliate=5393907 New Bank Transactions Feed Class: http://royl.ws/QuickBooks-Online-Banking?affiliate=5393907Reconciling in QBO Class: http://royl.ws/Reconciling-In-QBO?affiliate=5393907Women Who Count Conference: https://www.afwa.org/women-who-count/Intuit Connect: https://www.intuit.com/intuitconnect/Hector and Carlos Garcia’s Reframe Conference: https://reframe.shoprocket.io/#!/reframe-2025-effective-pricing-for-accountantsRightTool.app - mention ROYALWISE for 20% off the Pro versionAttachment Conversion: https://snip.ly/UQAPAttach Payroll and Payments Conversion Blog: https://snip.ly/UBAPayrollDTM QB Power Hour Webinar on Payroll and Attachment Conversions w/ Demo: https://snip.ly/UQAQBPHConversionhttps://www.schoolofbookkeeping.com/ Schoolofbookkeeping YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@schoolofbookkeeping?sub_confirmation=1 We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at [email protected] our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQuickBooksPodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding
