QuickBooks DIY Best Practices for Business Owners - 2018 Seminar Series
Date and time
Location
The Business Guides
1005 Lawrence Street Port Townsend, WA 98368Description
Better books lead to better business decisions. We'll share tips on how to utilize your bookkeeping system to run your business based on good financials. We'll show specific examples of what to do -- and what not to do. Geared for do-it-yourself QuickBooks users.
As tax preparers, we've seen it all: not booking separate principal and interest payments; not matching payments to receivables; not reconciling bank statements. Bad data can negatively affect your tax return and give you an inaccurate picture of your business's operation.
We'll show specific examples of what to do -- and what not to do -- on the QuickBooks platform. There will be time for your questions.
(We will not be guiding you through QuickBooks exercises on your own computer; leave it at home.)
This seminar topic scored highly on our annual client survey, and we are pleased to present it for the first time in 2018.
WHO WILL BENEFIT?
QuickBooks users who are doing their own bookkeeping, not paying a professional bookkeeper. This is not a how-to-set-up-QuickBooks class, nor will it dive deeply into tricky issues like inventory or billing. We'll touch on payroll, but it's not necessary to have employees to benefit from this class. It doesn't matter if you're using cash or accrual basis, or a desktop or online version of QuickBooks.
