QuickBooks Setup
Although QuickBooks is designed for the layman to understand, the initial setup and installation must be done correctly in order for future information to be accurate.
All the information necessary to setup manual accounting records is also necessary to install and setup QuickBooks. This task is even more complicated if you switch from manual accounting operations to QuickBooks in the middle of the year.
Which accounting method will you use? What chart of accounts do you need for your business? How do you handle beginning balances?
An expert can easily answer all of these questions and complete the initial installation and setup in a timely manner. In addition, your accounting employees will receive training on the accounting software to enhance their performance.
As with any accounting software program, installation and training take time – time taken away from managing your business. Here’s a short list of the services we provide during your QuickBooks setup:
- Study and evaluate your software and accounting needs.
- Recommend software and hardware requirements.
- Install software and design and set up the chart of accounts and entire accounting package including payroll, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, etc.
