QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP DISCONTINUED IN THE UK

QUICKBOOKS PRODUCTS COMPLETELY PULLED OUT OF INDIA
Following the UK announcement, Intuit decided to pull their entire QuickBooks lineup out of India.
This is effective as of April 2023.

You will find a single reference and link to the desktop version.
Now that you’ve found it, here is the surprise that awaits you…
