Compare: keeping the cheapest QuickBooks Online plan alive for the 7-year audit window costs about $2,940 at current prices. And prices go up every year.
Common questions
Can't I just export everything myself?
QuickBooks leaves you two do-it-yourself ways to keep long-term access, and both cost more than this service:
1. Keep paying for QuickBooks Online. The cheapest plan is $35 a month at current prices. Over the 7-year window the IRS can look back, that's about $2,940 per company, for books you never touch. And QuickBooks has raised prices every year for the last several.
2. Move the books into QuickBooks Desktop. Intuit lets you export to a Desktop copy during your one-year window. But Intuit no longer sells Desktop to new customers except Enterprise, which starts around $2,210 per year. It's Windows-only software you have to keep somewhere, and the transfer has documented gaps: your attachments don't come along, so every receipt gets separated from its transaction anyway.
Both paths cost several times our flat fee, and neither one gives you what an auditor actually asks for: the document, attached to the transaction, outside of software that can expire.
My QuickBooks subscription is already cancelled. Is it too late?
Probably not. Your data stays in read-only mode for 12 months after cancellation. If you're inside that window, we can still build your archive. After 12 months, Intuit deletes the data permanently, so don't wait.
What do you need from me?
About two minutes: you add us as an accountant user in QuickBooks and answer a few questions about your company. We do the rest and send you the finished archive.
Do you handle payroll records?
If your company ran QuickBooks Payroll, we export the payroll reports and tax forms that QuickBooks makes available. Tell us during onboarding and we'll include them.
Is my data safe with you?
We access your books read-only, deliver the archive to you, and remove our copy after you confirm receipt. See the privacy policy for details.
