Small business owners wear many hats. In addition to the focus of the business, a business owner needs to be savvy about accounting to protect the future of the business. There are many accounting software programs available to help you manage this important piece, the most popular of which is QuickBooks.
If you are interested in applying QuickBooks to your business, or are a current user who wants to learn more, let us know. We are QB Certified ProAdvisors. This means we have passed the QB certification exams for QB in the years listed on the Intuit website. We work with clients using the desktop and online versions, and we are able to make adjustments or fix problems our clients may experience.
The key to using QuickBooks to help prepare your taxes is to keep your postings current! Keeping current allows a business owner to know if they are making money, and to estimate the tax that will be due. This way there are no surprises come tax time and you can make adjustments, as needed, throughout the year to stay on target to meet your goals. You’ll also find keeping current in postings makes the tax preparation faster and cheaper.
While QuickBooks has about 90% of the small business accounting on the market, we do assist clients with other software, like Peachtree, Great Plains, Wave, FreshBooks and others. We will work with the software our clients want to use. The most important thing is to have a system and accounting structure in place to protect your business. Call us at (913) 888-9100 to let us know how we can help you!
