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 information necessary to setup manual
accounting records is also necessary to setup and install QuickBooks on your desktop. 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 Setup and Installation
in a timely manner. In addition, your accounting employees 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:
