Outpost Cloud is the shared QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise environment behind Geiger Tax & Accounting and its network of affiliated bookkeepers. Clients work on it. Affiliated bookkeepers build their practices on it. It isn’t something you subscribe to directly — access comes through a client engagement or the affiliate network.
Outpost Cloud isn’t a hosting service you buy off the shelf. Access comes through one of two relationships.
If you run one or more businesses and want your books maintained inside a professional-grade QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise environment — with tax handled too — you work with the practice directly. Access to Outpost Cloud is part of how the engagement runs.
If you run your own bookkeeping practice and want to work inside a shared QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise environment — with tax back-office support behind you — you can apply to become an Affiliated Bookkeeper or a Referral Partner.
Every user in the Outpost Cloud environment gets the full QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise experience, delivered as a native application through Intuit Authorized Commercial Hosting.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise runs on a single license that supports unlimited company files. Every entity, every client — one consolidated environment.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise runs as a true Windows application through your remote session. Full keyboard navigation, full reporting engine, full speed.
Contractor, Nonprofit, Manufacturing & Wholesale, Retail, and Professional Services editions are all built into QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. Switch between them per company file.
Log in from Windows, Mac, or iPad. Company files live on managed, backed-up cloud infrastructure. 45-day restore history. No server to run.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is Intuit’s most capable accounting product. It handles unlimited company files on one license, supports up to 40 simultaneous users on the highest tier, includes every industry edition, and runs 200+ built-in reports. For a practice with many clients or an owner with many entities, the per-license economics are fundamentally different from per-subscription products.
The historical gap was access. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a native Windows application — fast and capable, but tied to the machine it’s installed on. Bookkeepers with multiple clients, or owners with multiple entities, needed a way to get to the same environment from anywhere, with files backed up and infrastructure handled.
Outpost Cloud closes that gap — as the shared practice infrastructure behind the bookkeepers and clients who work alongside us.
