The challenge

Accounting Software Tied to Office PC

QuickBooks Desktop, Sage, SAP, and similar apps live on your office PC. Without remote access, you can only use them at the office.

Tax Season Requires Off-Hours Access

Tax deadlines and month-end closes mean evenings and weekends at the keyboard, but your software is stuck at the office.

Data Security & Compliance Concerns

Financial data is sensitive. Emailing spreadsheets or carrying USB drives creates compliance risks and opens the door to data breaches.

Multi-Location Teams Need Access

Your team works from the office, from home, and from client sites. Everyone needs the same apps and data without installing software everywhere.

How GoDesk helps

Full access to desktop accounting apps — QuickBooks, Xero, SAP, Sage, and more — from any device

Secure TLS 1.3 encrypted connections keep financial data protected in transit

File transfer for sending invoices, receipts, and reports between your local device and office PC

Cross-platform access from Windows, macOS, Linux, tablets, and phones

Clipboard sync for fast data entry — copy account numbers, amounts, and text between machines

Works from home, a client site, or on the road. No software reinstallation needed

Key features for this use case

Remote Desktop

See and control your office PC with full graphical fidelity. Your accounting software runs natively, so there are no cloud migration or compatibility headaches.

Cross-Platform

Access your accounting workstation from a Mac at home, a Windows laptop at a client site, or a tablet on the go.

Collaborate with a colleague during a shared session. Discuss entries, reconcile numbers, and confirm transactions without switching apps.

Frequently asked questions

Will GoDesk work with QuickBooks Desktop?

Yes. GoDesk gives you full control of your office PC, so any locally installed software (QuickBooks Desktop, Sage, SAP, Xero) works exactly as it does when you are sitting at the machine.

Is it safe to access financial data over a remote connection?

GoDesk uses TLS 1.3 encryption for all sessions. Your screen data, keystrokes, and file transfers are encrypted end-to-end. No financial data is stored on GoDesk servers.

Can multiple accountants access the same office computer?

One user can connect to a machine at a time. For teams, each accountant should have their own office workstation with GoDesk installed, and all machines can be organized in a shared address book.

Is GoDesk free for individual accountants?

GoDesk is free for personal, non-commercial use. Solo accountants and freelance bookkeepers can use it at no cost. Commercial plans are available for firms and teams.
