Quickbooks Setup and Training

QuickBooks Integration

Once your QuickBooks accounting system is successfully installed, we will also work with you to integrate QuickBooks throughout your business operations to achieve long-term success.

We will:

Review your entire process flow from customer order to final billing and identify opportunities to leverage the power of QuickBooks
Map QuickBooks tasks and user roles to staff you have on hand
Look for opportunities to automate tasks and processes such as with batch imports or integrating QuickBooks with third-party tools
Eliminate data silos and redundant processes such as are often seen in the use of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
Review your IT infrastructure as it relates to QuickBooks to ensure data security and consistent uptime
Train your personnel to ensure that QuickBooks data is entered accurately and as it occurs
Set up management controls such as with automated dashboards and key performance indicators
Support your business with planning tools such as budgets, forecasts, Board reports, or financial models.

Whereas other QuickBooks firms limit their practice to bookkeeping, accounting, or tax, Bright Hill Advisors will work as your partner in many aspects of your business to support business growth and profitability.

Whether you need help with QuickBooks Online or Enterprise, we help with installation and integration. For example, those in retail may need to integrate QuickBooks with Point of Sales systems (POS) and inventory systems.

QuickBooks Multi User Setup

We can help you establish a QuickBooks multi-user network to share company-wide files. The setup requires adjusting settings in several places including your computer server. You can adjust administration rights appropriately so internal files are kept safe while shared by a company network.

QuickBooks Email Setup

Tons of other products can be integrated with QuickBooks, and your team will want help with setting-up email to integrate with QB. Many major business email systems, such as Outlook, easily integrates with Desktop and other versions. Different versions allow for alternative options. We’re here to provide advice and help with the integration.

QuickBooks Training

QuickBooks is a business investment yet it takes time to learn how to use the accounting software more efficiently. We train your staff to use QuickBooks more effectively and in a way that makes the most sense given your specific business needs.

However, you don’t want to train your employees to be novices. We can show your employees how to use the accounting software like specialized experts! For example, job costing in QuickBooks enables a business to see money generated by each project (not just per client). Improve upon estimating expenses by measuring labor, cost of materials, mileage, etc. Ideally, you’ll learn to analyze the books to illuminate what areas of the business are the most profitable!

Job Costing Support

QuickBooks can be a great tool for general bookkeeping and accounting, but advanced users are able to learn important secrets about their business by using the job costing features in QuickBooks.

Job Costing in QuickBooks enables you to:

Track the revenue generated by each project for a client – not just revenue by client
Apply expenses directly to a project such as your team’s labor, milage, and other costs
Learn which projects are the most profitable so you can focus on those!

In short, using Job Costing in QuickBooks will enable you to have a deep understanding of each project so that you can increase profitability over time. With the highest Intuit ProAdvisor Certifications, Bright Hill Advisors will guide you through the setup process, or do it for you so that you can magically reveal the secrets to greater profitability in your company.

Get the Most from QuickBooks Using Little Time

Exceed the system requirements. You’re going to be waiting for windows to open and screens to switch if you don’t have enough computing power behind QuickBooks.
Keep your computer free of viruses and spyware. Not only do these put your data at risk, they slow down performance.
Close other windows when possible. This, too, will speed up the system performance when you’re using QuickBooks.
Learn frequently used shortcuts. There are a variety of hotkeys and menu shortcuts available. Which ones you use depend, to a large degree, on exactly what you do with QuickBooks.
Be thoroughly familiar with the software. The more confident and comfortable you are using it, the faster you’ll be.
Turn off automatic updates for QuickBooks. Automatic updates are useful, but you don’t need to have it running constantly. Consider turning it on only at the beginning of the month.
Make a few changes to preferences. You can turn off the audit trail, the Navigator, and a number of warnings and reminders. These should all speed things up, and result in fewer overall clicks.
Make use of customer profiles. Many of your customers will have similar characteristics. Use profiles to save time when entering customer data.
Consider desktop QuickBooks over QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Online may be more convenient, but accessing it is usually slower than the desktop version.
Minimize Add-Ons. There are many useful add-ons for QuickBooks. They don’t all need to run every time you start it up.
