Image
Are you new to QuickBooks? Don't make the same mistakes as others. Here are a list on the top common mistakes QuickBooks users make!: Never use a sample file as your actual company file! The sample file is just to help you learn how to use QuickBooks, the sample file contains a limited set of services.  Don't enter invoices and then make a deposit without going through the Receive Payments step: If you are entering invoices in QuickBooks to record your sales, be sure to use the Receive Payments screen to apply the payment against the invoice. Don’t accidentally record your customer payments twice! Seems like a silly mistake, but it happens!  Don’t choose your bank account in the Expense Account field when writing a check Checking the Expense Account field causes the money to go out and immediately back into your checking account instead of reducing the checking balance Don’t rename or delete the critical accounts that QuickBooks automatically creat...

“Quicklet” - A Podcast for QuickBooks Pro, Premier, Enterprise Solutions & Point of Sale users featuring helpful information, tips, tricks and suggestions for bookkeepers, business owners, and consultants. Got a QuickBooks Mess? Ask The QuickBooks Gal! Hi, I'm Jayne Miller, The QuickBooks Gal. Welcome to another in our series of “Quicklets” – informational podcasts about QuickBooks and related bookkeeping topics. I've received several calls in the last few days from folks who still haven’t done their 1099s. With that in mind, I am posting an instruction sheet that I email to many clients.

As a side note, I originally intended to name these little podcasts Podlets; however I recently learned that in Russian, PODLETS (Подлец) means SCOUNDREL . So, Quicklets it is! I know it’s been a while since I’ve recorded a new Quicklet. Our office has been very busy with End of Year, W-2, and 1099 processing tasks. I hope some of my previous tips have been useful. In the coming months, I will address the changes in QuickBooks 2006 and 2007 and we’re going to talk more about QuickBooks Point of Sale 2007 (v 6) . Just recently, The QuickBooks Gal was mentioned on www.thetechgap.com . I want to say thanks to those folks at that website, and to all of you who have visited my website & listened to my podcasts. I also teleconferenced with the folks at Intuit and am pleased to let you know that they ...
