QuickBooks offers remote access solutions that allow you to access your QuickBooks software and company files from a remote location. This can be useful for businesses that have employees or accountants who need to work on QuickBooks data from different locations or while traveling. There are a few different ways to set up remote access in QuickBooks:
QuickBooks Online: QuickBooks Online is a cloud-based accounting software that can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection.

QuickBooks Desktop with Hosting: If you're using QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier, or Enterprise), you can subscribe to QuickBooks Desktop Hosting through Intuit or a third-party hosting service. This service allows you to store your QuickBooks Desktop data in the cloud and access it remotely. You'll need to install the QuickBooks Desktop application on your local computer, and then you can connect to it remotely via a secure connection.
Remote Desktop or Virtual Private Network (VPN): Another option is to set up a remote desktop or VPN connection to a computer where QuickBooks Desktop is installed. This allows you to access QuickBooks as if you were sitting in front of that computer. You'll need to ensure that the computer hosting QuickBooks is always powered on and connected to the internet.
QuickBooks Remote Access Tool: QuickBooks offers a service called QuickBooks Remote Access, which allows you to access your QuickBooks Desktop data remotely. This service has its own subscription fee and involves installing a remote access client on your computer. It's important to note that this service is being phased out, and QuickBooks is encouraging users to migrate to other remote access options.
