Quickbooks DD access?

by a searcher from University of Maryland at College Park

We are mid-DD and finding it challenging to get access to Quickbooks data (Seller is super cooperative) because their accountant upgraded the company to Quickbooks Enterprise, which we don't have and is expensive to get. 

Has anyone found a good workaround or solution? Our Q of E provider has full access and has done a great job so far but we're finding it difficult to sign off on DD without having full access to books. 

Thanks!

I agree with Jason above. I've done multiple post acquisition integrations involving QB. I have always been able to have the seller simply add users to their QB account to provide access. Even if they have to purchase more licenses, that is almost always a negligible cost.

If you want to do it right, hire a professional (Like us =D). If a professional doesn't have QBE for DD, run. If you want to do it yourself, QB Enterprise has a 30 trial (depending on how many computers you own).
