Why Desktop owners choose DYOB

Stay on your computer

DYOB Desktop keeps your books in a file on your machine and works without internet. Prefer the cloud later? Switch to online with the same subscription.

It works the way you do

Enter sales and purchases, receive money, pay bills, reconcile the bank, print your reports. The everyday flow you know, without the clutter.

One fair price

$29 per month with everything, or own DYOB Desktop for $499 once, less than a year of QuickBooks Desktop. Founding Members pay $19 per month or $449 once.

How switching works

You don't have to move years of history in a weekend. Most owners start fresh on a clean date and keep their old file for reference.

  1. 1Pick a start dateUsually the first of a month or quarter. Enter your opening balances from your last QuickBooks balance sheet.
  2. 2Bring your listsImport customers and suppliers from a CSV export, then enter your open invoices and bills.
  3. 3Import your bankLoad statements since your start date (CSV, OFX or QFX) and let rules sort them.
  4. 4Keep QuickBooks for historyYour old file still opens for past years. Going forward, everything lives in DYOB.
