You have started your own business and wanted to save some money and are doing your own bookkeeping, or a family member is doing your bookkeeping for you.  You have purchased QuickBooks because it is the top accounting software on the market.  I can agree with that.

You got the software downloaded; you went through the interview process on QuickBooks.  QuickBooks gives you a Chart of Account based on how you answered the interview.  Now the question is: does this Chart of Account really describe my business?   We want to make sure that the detail of your Chart of Accounts will benefit your tax return. 

Did you know that you can set up a budget in QuickBooks?  Not only can you set up a budget, but you can also, run reports to see your Actual numbers verses what you budgeted.    Setting that budget and knowing the actual number throughout the year will help you make more of a profit. 

Do you know how to read the Financial Sheets?  We will look over them and see how they tie into your tax return.  The biggest mistake I see people make is the coding.  If you do not code your entries correct it will not show up correct on your Financial Reports, sometimes they will not show up on the report at all.
