QuickBooks Saves You Time And Money

When you are running a business, simpler is often better, provided it doesn’t come at the expense of accuracy and efficacy. By simplifying your record keeping, QuickBooks will save you both time and money.

IT’S ALL IN HERE

An all-in-one solution to your accounting needs, QuickBooks allows you to conveniently keep track of your sales and income while also managing bills and expenses, preparing profit and loss reports, monitoring cash flow, and more.

Keeping tabs on your expenses is vital to remaining profitable, but it can be difficult to effectively deal with piles of invoices while managing regular monthly payments. Knowing at any given time whether a payment has been made, is due, or is past due is important, and QuickBooks makes this easy for you. Rather than spending hours sorting, organizing, and adding up bills, QuickBooks will allow you to create a clear, concise Accounts Payable report in minutes, showing the status of all your bills, and when the time comes to make a payment, simply print a cheque and send it in the mail.

In fact, it is not just Accounts Payable reports that QuickBooks can generate for you, but other important documents as well, all of which come pre-built and do not require more than a few simple clicks, such as:

• Statement of Cash Flow allowing you to monitor all inflow and outflow
• Profit and Loss listing your income minus all expenses giving a net result
• Balance Sheet showing your assets and liabilities at any given point in time

With this information at your fingertips, the fiscal health of your business will always be made clear to you, any time you need.

FROM TIME-CONSUMING TO TIME-SAVING

Another time-consuming part of running your own business is managing payroll, and it can also lead to issues with your employees in the event of errors in calculation or delays in making payments. QuickBooks can take this worry off your hands with the purchase of a payroll subscription, giving you access to up-to-date payroll tables for the calculation of employer and employee taxes. QuickBooks will calculate federal and state taxes automatically, fill in the tax forms for you, and allow you to pay your employees with either a cheque or direct deposit. Payroll is integrated with QuickBooks, ensuring that your financial statements are always up to date with your most recent pay period.

Offering more than just accounting, QuickBooks also allows you to manage your business’s inventory. Keep track of purchases made from vendors and payments made. Quantities of goods received, as well as all items sold to your customers, provides you with a live inventory at all times, ensuring that optimal stock levels are maintained.
