Quick Books | Business Accounting




Starting with the 2009 version, Quickbooks includes a Company Snapshot feature that pulls together various reports and charts in a single screen. Users can add up to twelve widgets (versus five in the 2009 version). Widgets include an income and expenses graph, previous year comparisons, accounts receivable balances, top customers by sales, reminders of things you need to do in Quickbooks, current account balances, customers with outstanding balances, and bills that need to be paid.
The Company Snapshots are user customizable by time period. You can view income and expenses by year, month, or daily, for example. Intuit provides links to the logical next step in the program. Under the accounts receivable widget, for example, there's a link to receive payments where you can enter a payment from a customer. Similarly, clicking on a graph or chart will open a report showing (for example) income for a month or a customer's payment history.
My biggest complaint is the Company Snapshot includes a widget called "Recommended for You" which contains links to additional Intuit services. These are essentially advertisements. This widget cannot be removed from the Company Snapshot. So these marketing messages are always-on, even if they aren't particularly relevant. I'm not a big fan of in-software advertisements in general, especially in a product that's as expensive (and frequently used) as Quickbooks.

Why Use a Book Keeping Service?

In the dog-eat-dog world of business that's evolved out of the recent economic crisis, more and more businesses are turning to a book keeping service as a way to more smoothly and accurately handle their financial legwork and free up key employees for other tasks.

Blogging for Business

There are numerous strategies for growing a business online today but few as effective as a business blog . Simply put a blog can significantly increase the traffic or amount of people who decide to visit your business website. That's a significant fact for business owners since an increase in website traffic will in most cases have a direct and corresponding positive effect on sales. Before you can understand how a blog does this, it's helpful to get a clear understanding of what a blog is. A blog is a journal, organized on a website by date and category and focused on a particular topic or issue. Since we're talking about business blogs, your blog would be about your company/industry. Today businesses are blogging because audiences want that authentic, personal voice not the corporate message machine. For example, weekend gardeners might want to know what an owner of a garden shop personally thinks about the newest product on the market to combat plant fungus when he ...
