QuickBooks is a comprehensive bookkeeping software package developed by Intuit for small business owners, like you, who tend to have a lot on their plate. QuickBooks tracks all of your business finances in one place, making it easily accessible to you and your accounting team.
With a wide assortment of online tutorials, you do not need to be a computer whiz to use the software, and QuickBooks offers a free 60-day trial period.
Time is the most valuable commodity for small business owners. QuickBooks does the “number crunching”, so you can devote more time to day-to-day operations. In fact, business owners can save an average of 42 hours per month using QuickBooks.
QuickBooks allows you to take advantage of real-time reporting and time management tools. You will be able to maintain up-to-date customer and employment information, generate accurate financial statements and reports, and avoid mistakes that could lead to income tax troubles. And you can easily integrate your bank and credit card accounts into QuickBooks so that transactions flow into your books without manual data entry.
QuickBooks only has access to the information you allow. QuickBooks’ industry-recognized security safeguards ensure that your data is always protected, while also providing you with the convenience of managing your bookkeeping services from any location, including your mobile device.
There are many areas of compliance that accountants pay attention to, such as tax filings, payroll filings, and rules for depreciation and amortization. QuickBooks has built-in features to perform these functions, but the software will not detect errors or confirm that filings are complete and accurate. You need an accountant to ensure compliance. Accountants also know the right questions to ask to help guide your business and assist with financial management. As a business owner, you can’t know and see everything. Your accountant is your extra set of eyes.
