QuickBooks

QuickBooks� Accounting Software

QuickBooks� accounting software is the most user friendly and economical accounting system on the market today. This software is ideal for small businesses with under 50 employees and annual revenues of less than five million dollars. You do the majority of your bookkeeping as you write checks and record receipts on a daily basis. With QuickBooks� you know if you�re making or losing money instantly. There�s no need to understand accounting jargon like debits, credits or postings.

As a small business person, we understand your internal and external reporting needs. Whether you�re seeking quarterly or annual tax reports, interim financial statements for the bank or a listing of bills to be paid, we can take your QuickBooks� data and make any necessary adjustments to prepare the reports you need. If you prefer to produce your reports in-house, we can make sure QuickBooks� is set up to produce the information you desire.

Frequently asked questions about QuickBooks�

Will QuickBooks� do payroll for me?
Yes. Once you set up your pay categories, deductions and employee W-4 information, payroll is as simple as entering the hours worked. QuickBooks� calculates the deductions, prints the paychecks and summarizes your payroll information automatically. There are various payroll reports which you can run to determine payroll tax liabilities and QuickBooks� will even print your quarterly Form 941 and annual Forms 940 and W-2s.

Will QuickBooks� pay my bills?
Yes. Entering your bills is so easy and it allows you to sort your bills by due date or vendor to help you decide who to pay first. Accounts payable reports, like all other QuickBooks� reports, are available with the click of your mouse and can be created for any date you choose. Once your vendor information is entered, vendor names and addresses will print on the checks, enabling you to use window envelopes rather than writing out or typing envelopes. QuickBooks� will also print 1099s at the end of year for those vendors you designate as required to receive 1099s.

Will QuickBooks� keep my checkbook up-to-date?
Yes. Provided you enter your transactions on a daily basis, your bank balances will automatically be updated after each transaction. QuickBooks� also has a reconciliation feature that saves time compared to reconciling your bank statement manually each month.
