You can use the ODBC features in Enterprise. Not perfect by a long shot but it is a connection to give you some raw data if you want to fight thru getting the views connected (not obvious how to do it but possible). I have found the QODBC connector fails so if you want to get into reporting between PowerBi and QuickBook enterprise your best option is a 3rd party product called QQube  which extracts the QB data into a local sybase Database. The database model is optomized for reporting so really is PERFECT for using with PowerBi.  It  comes with PowerBi Templates (Desktop files) that cover nearly every area you would want to report on.

 

I am certified on the product so do let me know if you need help getting QQube or getting it working.
