What Questions To Ask When You Are Looking For A QuickBooks Proadvisor

So you need to hire a QuickBooks Proadvisor. This task can be tricky, you want someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. Here a few tips and questions to ask in order to find the perfect Proadvisor for you! 

Read Reviews:
Find a QuickBooks Proadvisor website allows you to enter in your zip code and a list of local Proadvisors will show up, you can easily click on their profile and read reviews customers have left them. Here you can determine how friendly that individual is and how helpful they really are. 

Check Social Media:
Before calling that Proadvisor check out their website and social media platforms. It is bit harder to delete a bad review off a Facebook, Twitter or Yelp page. Here you will be able to find bad reviews, if they have one, and see their latest posts and determine what kind of person you will be hiring and see if they are a good match for you.

When you finally decide to call a Proadvisor make sure you know exactly what you are trying to do with your QuickBooks and ask them if they are able to help you. If they say "I'm not sure" or "I don't know how to go about that" thank them for their time and choose the next Proadvisor on your list.

Here are a list of questions to ask a Proadvisor when you have determined who you want to hire to make sure you have the best fit for you and your business

Are you a certified QuickBooks Proadvisor? How long have you been certified?

What makes you different from other Proadivsors in the area?

How do you identify what is wrong with my books and are you able to walk me through the process?

How are you able to demonstrate to a non QuickBooks Proadvisor, like myself, that the work you have done is correct?

Do you have other employees working for you that also work on QuickBooks? Will they be working on my books as well?

 Do you have an office or do you work from home? If home, how secure are my records?

 If you are not a good fit for me, can you refer me to anyone else in the area to better suit my needs?

How to "Un" Apply Credits In QuickBooks

Image
Got a QuickBooks Mess? Call The QuickBooks Gal! Welcome to the QuickBooks Minute. I’m Jayne Miller, the QuickBooks Gal Recently, one of our Reno QuickBooks customers asked about "unapplying" credits in QuickBooks. While there are nicely labeled apply credits buttons, there are none marked unapply. This is the case for both customers (invoicing) and vendors (paying bills). So here is how it is done: For customers, it is a fairly easy process. Go to the invoice to which the credit was applied. Then click on the "Apply Credits" button. In the lower half of the new window that pops up is a list of Previously Applied Credits. Simply find the one, or ones you wish to unapply and click on the check mark next to it to make the check mark disappear. The credit will no longer be applied or tied to that invoice. For Vendors, i.e. bill payments, it is not as clean and simple. The only way to unapply a credit in such a case is to Delete the credit. You can then

QuickBooks Password Protection

QuickBooks now requires your employees to enter a password to view their pay stubs when you e-mail them. QuickBooks generates the passwords automatically; each password consists of the first four letters of the employee's last name followed by the last four digits of their Social Security number. Examples Name:                            SSN:                         Pay Stub Password: Ben Narramore              855-56-4545             narr4545 Deb D'Spain                  782-34-3419             dspa3419 Jimmy Wu                     903-88-7465             wu7465 Note that all characters must be entered in lowercase and punctuation characters are not included in the password. When a last name has fewer than four characters, the whole last name is used (like in wu above) but no additional characters are added. You will need to inform each employee of this new password requirement
