Tips For Using Quickbooks Timesheet And Other Related Applications

By Molly Morse


Most small businesses need a wide array of business solutions to help their company remain profitable and free from the hassles of red tape. Entrepreneurs use this account software more than any other programs on the market, whether it is for a new business or to help streamline one that is already up and running. From QuickBooks timesheet to inventory control and invoice generating this software has many options for the casual user all the way to the hardcore business power user. While there is a small learning curve when first using it, most mistakes are easily avoidable.

There are several features anybody may use with this program that will make it more valuable an investment and easier to use. Accounts receivable will provide an overall picture of any companies or people that owe you currency and how much it is. The accounts payable will provide an overall picture of any currency you owe companies or people and for services or items they provided you.

Using budgets is for working out target projections the company is hoping to meet. Comparing projected numbers to real numbers are a good way for management to see how different areas are performing. These software tools are generally used to compare past years performance to find trends that will affect the company. Most of this can be exportable to excel to make graphs or other visual aids.

Always update any business related information on a regular basis. One of the most common problems this involves is the dreaded payroll function and tax tables. It is critical to review them at least once in the beginning of the year to make sure there are no errors. If there are problems, it can cause a lot of confusion with the software and more money down the road.

Try to get into the habit of backing up your data on a regular basis. This should be done regardless of what software you plan to use. There are many cloud services that let you back up into a virtual world should anything catastrophic happen to your hardware.

Always remember that the people that input data are human. They make mistakes. Whether a number is in the wrong place, or just skipped, or sever numbers being transposed. Taking the extra time to go over any work to make sure it is correct in the first place is the best step for preventing mistakes.

The best advice anyone could give a business owner is to keep things as simple as possible. In today's complex world people often equate complexity with something being better. This is not always true.

These are just a easy things someone may do that can help things go smoothly and also ensure you get the most out of your money when you are using QuickBooks timesheet with other related applications. Never feel silly if you have missed any of these common mistakes as often long time users will also miss them too. It is more critical to always learn from the mistakes you do make so they do not repeated in the future.
