QuickBooks Setup for Small Businesses

QuickBooks setup for small businesses helps owners track income, expenses, invoices, bills, payroll, taxes, and financial reports. Proper setup prevents bookkeeping problems later.

Details

A small business QuickBooks setup should include:

  • Company profile
  • Chart of accounts
  • Bank feeds
  • Credit cards
  • Products and services
  • Customers
  • Vendors
  • Invoice templates
  • Payroll settings
  • Sales tax settings
  • User permissions
  • Reports

Details

The chart of accounts should match your business type. A contractor, restaurant, consultant, and real estate investor may all need different categories.
