QuickBooks File Doctor (QBFD) is a powerful tool developed by Intuit to troubleshoot company file and network issues in QuickBooks Desktop. Introduced in 2012 and integrated in QuickBooks 2016 and later, this tool combines the functions of a Network Diagnostic Tool and Company File Repair Tool. It automatically detects and fixes common errors, saving time and minimizing data issues.
