What does the end of BusPro support mean in practice?
The end of BusPro support means that from 1 January 2027, no technical assistance, bug fixes or updates of any kind will be provided. The software can keep running, but its stability, security and compatibility are no longer guaranteed.
In concrete terms:
- End of support: 31 December 2026
- From 1 January 2027: no technical assistance or information
- No further development: no adjustments to new requirements
- Growing risk: dependence on an outdated system environment
In accounting in particular, where data integrity and reliability are essential, running software without support becomes a problem in the long run.
Risks of accounting software without support
Continuing to run a solution that is no longer supported is not just inconvenient – it carries real business risks.
Security and stability
Without support, known or newly discovered security vulnerabilities will no longer be patched. At the same time, operating system or Windows updates can impair the software or stop it from working altogether.
Compatibility with operating systems
After 2027, there is no guarantee that BusPro will run reliably with future Windows versions or system changes. Errors can occur without any official fix.
Compliance and traceability
Legal requirements keep evolving. Without updates, the risk grows that processes or reports no longer meet the current standard – a critical point during audits or reviews. New VAT rates, changes to the requirements for QR invoices and the like can quickly turn into a problem that cannot be solved.
Missing integrations
Modern financial processes are connected: banks, CRM, payment providers, payroll systems and reporting tools. Legacy software that is no longer being developed cannot keep up.
Why now is the right time to switch
Many companies tend to put off a system change for as long as “it still works”. With BusPro support coming to an end, however, this hesitation is highly risky.
Switching early allows for:
- a clean migration of historical data
- running both systems in parallel and getting used to the new one
- enough time to adapt processes
- avoiding an emergency switch under time pressure
It makes more sense to switch now, before a technical problem occurs in 2027 that can no longer be fixed. A planned switch today is far less risky than a forced switch under time pressure.
What modern accounting software for SMEs needs to offer
A modern BusPro alternative should do more than simply replace existing features. Today, modern accounting software for SMEs meets clear requirements:
Cloud-based
Access from any device, automatic updates and high availability.
AI-first mindset
Accounting is becoming increasingly automated. Modern accounting software must therefore rely consistently on AI to reduce manual work.
Integrations
Seamless connections to banks, payment flows, payroll systems and other business tools.
Live accounting
Up-to-date figures instead of a monthly or quarterly lag. Accounting should be continuously up to date rather than caught up periodically. Financial data is processed on an ongoing basis, so companies always work with the real picture – as a basis for operational decisions, not as a look in the rear-view mirror.
Ease of use
Modern accounting software is designed to be self-explanatory and should be usable without a degree in accounting.
The role of AI in modern accounting software
AI is no longer a promise for the future but a functional part of modern business software.
In accounting, this means in concrete terms:
- Automatic receipt recognition
- Smart booking suggestions
- Writing quotes and invoices with the help of AI
- AI bank reconciliation
AI reduces manual work, lowers error rates and costs, and frees up time for business decisions.
Infinity as the BusPro successor for SMEs
Infinity was built as modern, AI-powered accounting software for SMEs precisely for this shift.
Instead of local installations, Infinity relies on:
- A cloud-native architecture
- The most user-friendly accounting software
- Automated accounting processes
- Integrated bank and payment flows
- AI accounting
For companies still working with BusPro today, Infinity is the ideal future-proof alternative.
Conclusion: waiting is the real risk
The end of BusPro support is not a theoretical scenario but a fixed date. From 2027, the technical foundation for secure, stable operation will be missing.
Companies that act now:
- minimise operational risks
- modernise their financial processes for the long term
- create a solid foundation for growth
Next step
If you use BusPro today, now is the time to evaluate a BusPro alternative and plan the switch of accounting software in a structured way.
Infinity gives you the AI accounting of the future, built around the needs of SMEs and continuously developed.
