hi @carlsie-steyn ,

Consider to purchase Premier Accountant edition. You may open 2 company files in the same time and screen.

I'm not sure what your IT resources are but we have Quickbooks Pro with 3 licenses at our office, so it's located on 3 separate computers. You could remote desktop into another computer that has Quickbooks installed and work from your PC with 1 company file & have another company file open in remote desktop.
