QuickBooks Setup

Although QuickBooks is designed for the novice to understand and use, the initial setup and installation can be tricky and confusing.  It's important that the set up is done properly in order for future information to be accurate.

Consideration must be given to...

What information is important for the set up process? 

• Whether  your need single user or multi-user access to your software?
• Hardware to accommodate your software needs.
• A chart of accounts designed to provide the information in a format to meet your needs.
• Determination of your software starting date.
• Account, customer, and vendor balances as of your starting date.
• List of the items that you sell to your customers, such as services, inventory parts, non-inventory parts, other charges and sales taxes.
• Details of your outstanding accounts receivable and accounts payable balances as of your starting date.
• Ending bank statement  balances and outstanding checks & deposits in transit as of your starting date.
• Checking to ensure that all balances entered into your system are accurate.
• Entering your transactions since your starting dates into your new program.
• Ensure your users become trained in the software.
