QuickBooks Price Increase

March 4, 2021

From 1 April 2021 

From 1 April 2021, QuickBooks is increasing the cost of data files by $2 per month. They will also be charging $5 per month per employee for payroll.

Traditionally, accounting software providers increase their prices on 1 April each year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, QuickBooks did not increase their prices in April 2020, giving users an extra 12 months at historical pricing.

Discounts For Haslam Clients

As we have done in previous years, where we hold a QuickBooks subscrition on your behalf and you are on an Agreed Price Service Plan, we will not pass on any price increase until your renewal on 1 July 2021. That's an extra three month discount!


We are also helping out our clients by only charging $4 per month per employee for payroll, rather than the full $5 per month per employee retail cost. That's a saving of 20%!


If you're currently paying your own QuickBooks subscription but would like to take advange of these savings, talk to us about transferring your subscription to us.
