            What Does Setting Up QuickBooks Entail?

            August 29, 2023

            Quickbooks set up

            Although QuickBooks is designed for the layman to understand, the initial setup and installation must be done correctly for future information to be accurate.

            All information necessary to set up manual accounting records is also necessary to set up QuickBooks. Additional steps are required if you switch from manual accounting operations to QuickBooks in the middle of the year.

            Once you decide to use QuickBooks, there are several decisions you will need to make, including:

            • Which accounting method will you use?
            • What chart of accounts do you need for your business?
            • How do you handle beginning balances?
            • How do you get prior data into your file?

            Our experts can quickly answer all these questions and promptly complete the initial setup and installation. In addition, your accounting employees can receive training on the accounting software to enhance their performance.

            How Much Does it Cost?

            Before quoting an exact price, we need to learn more about your business and accounting records. We work with many small business owners, and our rates are designed to fit our clients' budgets.

            As with any accounting software program, installation and training take time away from managing your business. Here's a short list of the services we provide during your QuickBooks setup:

            • Study and evaluate your subscription or software and accounting needs.
            • Recommend software and hardware requirements.
            • Install software, design and set up chart of accounts and entire accounting package including payroll, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, etc.
            • Determination of your QuickBooks starting date.
            • Loading your chart of accounts and balances as of that starting date.
            • Prepare a list of the items that you sell to your customers. This list includes services, inventory, non-inventory parts, other charges, and sales taxes.
            • Entering your outstanding accounts receivable and accounts payable details as of your starting date.
            • Entering your ending statement bank balances and outstanding checks and deposits in transit as of your starting date.
            • Comparing data from QuickBooks to your prior software.
            • Entering your transactions since your starting dates into QuickBooks.
            • Train client or client's staff in using software to meet their accounting, management, and tax needs.

            We Also Provide Ongoing Services Including:

            • Follow up training to ensure the client is on the right track
            • Monthly, quarterly, or annual review of client QuickBooks data to assist in tax preparation and management reports
