QuickBooks on Mac FAQ
Questions before you start.
Is this for QuickBooks Online?

Do I have to open the Windows desktop every time?
No. Launch QuickBooks from My apps, or open the full desktop when needed.
Can I use my existing company file?
Test a backup copy during the trial before relying on the workflow.
Are Windows and QuickBooks included?
No. Valid Microsoft and Intuit licences are your responsibility.
What happens if I cancel?
Access to Windows and its files is locked while the subscription is inactive, without automatic deletion.
