 QUICKBOOKS INFORMATION

We at McLain, Calhoun, McCullough, Clark & Co. P.C. want to ensure that you continue receiving full access to business services offered by QuickBooks. Each year we let you know what versions of QuickBooks will no longer have access to live technical support or payroll services. We recommend that you upgrade to QuickBooks 2012.  By upgrading you will receive all the latest product benefits and access to technical support and business services.

Each year, we strive to deliver the best products to our customers by investing in technology that makes QuickBooks better and easier to use. One of the ways we are able to do that is to manage the costs associated with supporting older releases. We believe this enables us to provide you with the right level of service, while still providing leading-edge business solutions to our customers at the lowest cost.

Our practice is to support the latest QuickBooks product (QuickBooks 2012) and the two previous versions (QuickBooks 2011 and QuickBooks 2010). If you are currently using an older version of QuickBooks and do not need live support or do not use certain business services (such as payroll), you can continue to use the software as you have been. However, if you would like to continue receiving live technical support or use other services, including payroll you will need to install and register a supported version of QuickBooks software.

As services to older versions are scheduled to be discontinued, McLain, Calhoun, McCullough, Clark & Co. P.C. provides affected customers with advance notice in a variety of ways, including phone calls, email notifications, in-product notifications, and through our website at http://www.mclaincalhoun.com
