The point of accounting software is to produce financial statements that allow owners and managers to make informed business decisions. The three most important statements are the Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Statement of Cash Flows. Quick Books Online produces all three in real time, and you can choose any date range depending on the knowledge you seek. You also get access to hundreds of other reports that drill down into the details of business operations.
As a quick reminder, the Balance Sheet lists assets, liabilities and equity. The Income Statement compares revenues and expenses. The Statement of Cash Flows tracks inflows and outflows of cash. The information contained in these three statements is crucial to owners and managers. If you are not reviewing them on a regular basis, you are shooting in the dark without a night vision scope attached to your firearm.
Financial statements and other reports must be accurate to be useful. Quick Books Online has numerous fail-safes to make sure this is the case. Checking and credit card accounts are linked in for seamless transfers of data between the bank and the books. Monthly reconciliations ensure all transactions have been entered. Statements and reports allow owners and managers to confirm transactions are assigned to proper accounts. Our clients provide us with administrative access which allows us to keep an eye on things as well. These systems work together to ensure statements and reports are accurate and useful.
Payroll service is a cool add-on that makes paying employees simple and easy. Employees enter hours worked and management approves everything before paychecks are created. Paycheck data automatically flows to the financial statements and other reports. FICA and withholding taxes are calculated and remitted automatically. Quick Books Payroll has various levels depending on how much you want to be involved in the process.
Got inventory? Quick Books Online does a great job tracking basic inventory. If your tracking needs are more robust, there are apps available to handle any level of complexity. The apps are certified and approved by Quick Books to ensure reliability and accuracy. There is a vast array of non-inventory apps available to suit your needs.
