The remote accounting firm has opened a location in Attleboro, Massachusetts and named Joseph Kisamore a partner. The growth comes as Intuit winds down QuickBooks Desktop ahead of a 2027 support deadline.

OGUNQUIT, ME, July 08, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Remote Quality Bookkeeping today announced the opening of a new office in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The firm has also named Joseph Kisamore a partner. The two moves extend the company's presence in the Northeast and add senior leadership to the practice.

The firm serves approximately 250 clients across the country. It works from its headquarters in Ogunquit, Maine, and its new Massachusetts office. Remote Quality Bookkeeping was founded in 2000. It provides remote bookkeeping, payroll, tax, and CFO services to small businesses, franchises, and nonprofits.

The expansion arrives at a turning point for the accounting software many of those clients rely on. Intuit stopped selling new subscriptions for several QuickBooks Desktop versions in the United States after September 30, 2024. The company is expected to end support for the product by May 2027 as it moves customers toward cloud-based tools.

Desktop Software Remains Widely Used

Desktop accounting software still has a large user base. Industry estimates put the share of QuickBooks users who prefer desktop versions at roughly 67%, or about 4.6 million businesses. Intuit holds more than 80% of the small-business accounting software market. 

For firms built around desktop workflows, the change is disruptive.

"It felt like a kick in the gut," said Mark Kilduff, founder and CEO of Remote Quality Bookkeeping, describing his reaction to the phaseout. "We've relied on the desktop product for decades, and now we're being pushed into a system that doesn't function the same way."

Kilduff said the move to QuickBooks Online slows down work that spans many clients and datasets.

"In desktop, I can isolate issues and analyze data in minutes," he said. "In the online version, it can be significantly more time-consuming to do the same work."

Added Capacity to Support the Transition

The firm manages hundreds of clients across multiple platforms. That work requires staff who can move between systems and keep each client's records accurate. As clients navigate the QuickBooks Desktop transition, the new Attleboro office and Kisamore's expanded role give the firm more capacity to support them. 

Kilduff said the firm will keep helping clients adapt to new systems. It will also keep looking for tools that fit the way accountants work.

"The challenge," he said, "is finding a solution that actually works for the people doing the work."
