Who QuickBooks Premier is for
Premier is a good fit when your business has outgrown the basics but doesn't need everything in Enterprise. Typically that means four or five people working in the books, or a business with some industry-specific needs.
When you set up a company file in Premier, you choose an industry edition. That edition changes the chart of accounts, the menus and the reports to suit the way your kind of business works. You can switch editions later if you need to.
- Contractor: job costing, change orders and reports by job
- Manufacturing and Wholesale: assemblies, sales orders and backorder tracking
- Nonprofit: donor and grant tracking and statements by program
- Professional Services: billable time, project reports and retainers
- Retail: sales by item, inventory reorder reports and customer tracking
- General Business: a good starting point if none of the above fits
What Premier adds over Pro
The headline difference is users: Pro stops at three, Premier goes to five. Beyond that, the features that people actually pay for are sales orders, the ability to build products from parts (inventory assemblies), price levels for different customers, and the extra industry reports.
If none of that sounds familiar, you may honestly be fine with Pro, and it costs less. Call us and describe your business, and we'll tell you which one makes sense. We'd rather sell you the right version than the more expensive one.
Why people choose the 2021 version
Intuit now sells Premier-level features mainly as a yearly subscription. Plenty of business owners don't want another bill that never ends, and Premier 2021 lets you buy the software once and keep using it.
To be straight with you: Intuit has retired the connected add-on services for the 2021 versions, things like online banking downloads, payroll and payment processing inside QuickBooks. The accounting itself is unaffected. You can still import bank statements, reconcile, invoice, track inventory and run every report. If you need payroll built into QuickBooks, talk to us about the subscription options before you buy.
Limited stock
Intuit no longer sells QuickBooks Desktop Premier to new customers in the US, so what we have is remaining stock. When it's gone, we can't order more. If you see Premier 2021 marked as sold out, give us a call. Enterprise 2021 is often the closest alternative, and it's also a one-time purchase.

Questions we get a lot
Frequently asked questions
Is this a genuine QuickBooks Premier license?
Yes. Every license we sell is issued directly by Intuit and registers in your own Intuit account. We're an authorized reseller with Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors on the team.
What's the difference between QuickBooks Pro and Premier?
Premier allows up to five users instead of three, and adds industry editions, sales orders, inventory assemblies, price levels and more reports. If you don't need those, Pro does the core bookkeeping just as well and costs less.
Which industry edition should I pick?
Pick the one closest to how your business makes money: Contractor, Manufacturing and Wholesale, Nonprofit, Professional Services, Retail or General Business. It's chosen when you set up the company file, not when you buy, and you can change it later.
Do I need to pay every year?
No. Premier 2021 is a one-time purchase. You pay once and keep using it.
Can I upgrade from QuickBooks Pro to Premier?
Yes. Premier opens your existing Pro company file and updates it. Make a backup first; we're happy to help with the move.
Does Premier 2021 work on Windows 11?
Yes, it installs and runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. It doesn't run on a Mac.
How quickly will I receive it?
Usually the same day your invoice is paid. You'll get the license details and the Intuit download link by email.
