Is QuickBooks Online becoming obsolete? I am currently working for a large corporation using NetSuite, but it is not a career building role and I am stifled. I am looking at an opportunity that pays a bit less with what seems to be more responsibility using QuickBooks. I am in my mid 50s and cannot retire, so I am trying to build experience that can be transferred easily to contracting side work as well.

I would say QBO is a major player in the SME arena. It’s pretty easy to use and has some automation/AI built in. Accountants feel Intuit is trying to take a lot of their work with some of the behind the scenes things they do but I would think learning QBO is worthwhile and pretty easy which could be leveraged to have your own bookkeeping clients on the side.

There’s a pretty good community of accountants on LinkedIn that have started their own firms doing book keeping and they make a good living being QBO experts. Getting trained on QBO through a W2 and then starting your own firm is a realistic long term path.

That is great to know. I will check into this. Thank you!

QBO no but desktop yes

Not even close to obsolete. What do you WANT to do?
