SETUP/INSTALLATION
We have worked with many companies across industry with their QuickBooks software. Whether you are new to QuickBooks or upgrading your file, we can customize an implementation plan specifically for your business.
Software Selection
First, we will help to determine which version of QuickBooks (Desktop or Online) will best suit the needs of your business, the number of licenses required to support your staff needs, any 3rd party applications needed, and if any custom integration is needed. If you already have purchased the software from other source, we could still help you.
System Design
In order to get the most out of QuickBooks, it is crucial that your system is designed and set up properly from the beginning. By conducting a thorough needs analysis, we can generate a detailed system design that meets both your immediate and long-term goals. Our goal is to optimize your system to generate the KPIs, financial reports and management reports you need to make strategic business decisions.
File Setup and Internal Controls
During the file setup stage, we will configure QuickBooks either on your local network or in a secure cloud environment and set up user access. If you take our on-demand training, we could guide you from scratch to set up your file based on the implementation plan we developed for you, such as setting up a customized Chart of Accounts, Lists, Preferences / Settings, Forms, Taxes, Templates, Inventory, Memorize Reports, Fixed Assets, and more. If we are importing data from your previous accounting software, we could recommend you with a 3rd party software.
Third Party and Custom Applications
If during the planning stage we determine that you will need a 3rd party app, we will implement those after we get your base QuickBooks file setup. If you’re using QuickBooks Enterprise, this could be as straightforward as turning on and setting up Intuit’s Advanced Inventory or Reporting Add-On. We can also handle more complex situations that require a custom developed application or integration with external systems. These custom applications are owned by you and build off of Intuit’s API.
Reporting and Automation
Once we have got your QuickBooks file and any supporting apps & integrations set-up, we take it further by automating various data-entry tasks and generating reports. You should take our training class to let us show you how to generate reports, set-up automation, or build any custom report your need so that you get the most out of your QuickBooks data.
