As your business grows, or even better yet, when you are starting a new business, it is important that you can monitor your activity. You want to know, at any given point in time, who owes you money, what bills are outstanding, how much you've spent on equipment or supplies during the year, and how much money you've made. You want to know all the little details that it takes to make sure your business is on track, and you know exactly what is going on.
And remember, by tracking all of your expenses you ensure that you have all the possible deductions for tax time at your fingertips! For these reasons, we support and help businesses use QuickBooks to track all their important information. We feel that this is not only the best way to review your business, but also allows for banks, loan officers, your accountant, lawyers, business buyers, and anyone else who might be interested in your financial information too quickly and accurately determine information they (and you) may need.
1. We would meet to discuss the needs of your business with regards to electronic bookkeeping.
2. You would go away with a list of "todo" items such as:
- PURCHASE A COPY OF QUICKBOOKS FOR YOUR COMPUTER,
- QuickBooks is readily available at many fine office supply stores, OfficeMax and Staples, as well as in warehouse stores, such as Sam's Club and Costco (please make sure on your purchase that you are buying QuickBOOKS, not QuickEN).
- GATHER BEGINNING INFORMATION AS OF A CERTAIN DATE (i.e. as of 1/1/04),
- Beginning bank statements
- Copies of depreciation schedules from your accountant
- Your prior years balance sheet / and tax return information
3. Our specialists would create a beginning balance sheet for you,
4. We would meet again for a training session which shows you the basics of how to use the program.
For those people who want to focus on what they are good at (their own business, the reason they got into business!) we offer a bookkeeping service. This service is charged by flat fee per month dependent on how many checks and invoices you prepare each month. Please note that this service is extremely customized to each individual / company. You can use this service as frequently as you wish (once a week to run invoices, up to once a quarter for general checkups). Our service provides not only a full range QuickBooks setup and maintenance program for our clients, but also the knowledge of bookkeepers who have worked with QuickBooks for over 10 years and who can modify your QuickBooks files to work specifically for your individual or business needs.
Please call us today for information on pricing, setup times, and maintenance scheduling.
