QuickBooks is a user-friendly and easy to use system, provided the initial set-up is implemented properly.  In fact, the majority of QuickBooks problems discovered after implementation stem from improper initial set-up.  Get started on the right track, by working with us, and avoid costly problems in the future. You will receive a QuickBooks file customized for your business based upon the information that you provide.

Here’s a list of the services that we can provide during your QuickBooks setup:

• Evaluate your software requirements and overall accounting needs
• Determine your accounting and QuickBooks software needs
• Recommend the appropriate QuickBooks software and establish hardware requirements
• Software installation and set-up
• Design and set-up the chart of accounts and the entire accounting system– including payroll, accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable
• Determine your QuickBooks start date
• Customize the chart of accounts for your business and load balances as of your start date
• Customer and vendor set-up
• Item set-up including services, inventory parts, non-inventory parts, other charges and sales-tax items
• Set-up your outstanding accounts receivable and accounts payable details as of your start date

While a one-on-one instructor-led QuickBooks training class is more expensive than attending a group class, it is a good investment when you have specific QuickBooks issues to solve or you need to get QuickBooks started in the right direction with your QuickBooks accounting and bookkeeping needs. I can help you figure out the best solutions for your particular QuickBooks accounting issues, and give you a strategy for how best to pursue your short-term and long-term goals for your business. Getting off on an ill-directed path in QuickBooks accounting can be very costly in the long run; getting the right professional advice from the start will certainly be well worth the investment.

We can train on Pro, Premier, Online, industry-specific versions and Enterprise versions of QuickBooks.  Our one-on-one training is customized for your business. Email us or call us – to  schedule your implementation / training / support services to learn more,  and to discuss your requirements.  Free initial telephone consultation. Evening, weekend, and daytime telephone consultation appointment times are available. We would welcome the opportunity to work with you.
