QuickBooks Set-Up:

QuickBooks is designed for use by the layman, but the initial set-up and installation must be done correctly to ensure that future information is accurate.

The information you utilize to set-up manual accounting records is also needed to set-up and install QuickBooks on your desktop. This task becomes more complicated if you switch from manual accounting operations to QuickBooks in the middle of the year.

There are a couple of questions you need to answer before setting up QuickBooks. Which accounting method should you use? What type of account charts do you need for your business? How do you handle starting balances?

An expert can easily answer all of these questions and complete the initial set-up and installation for you in a timely manner. In addition, your accounting employees will receive training on the accounting software to enhance their performance.

One of the biggest differences between us and our competition is that instead of attending a QuickBooks class at a neutral site, we come to your business location!

How much does it cost? Compu-Tax & Accounting charges a flat rate of $350.00 for QuickBooks set-up and training. We will spend two hours with you on the initial day of installation, training the user on basic QuickBooks usage.

As with any accounting software program, installation and training takes time, which is time taken away from managing your business. Here's a short list of the services we provide during your QuickBooks set-up:
