QuickBooks Setup

Although QuickBooks is designed 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.
