Bookkeeping - Ugh - is a NECESSARY Task

Either learn to do it or pay to have it done. It has to be done. If you put record keeping off, it becomes a giant mess and will cost you more time and money.

Most everyone should consult with a CPA as soon as they have any buying customers, if they haven't before then. Expect to have quarterly and yearly forms to file at first. If you have employees or collect sales taxes, you may have weekly tasks. You need to know.

Collect and review the information sent to you when you filed the official forms to begin doing business. Bring this information and all expense receipts, credit card statements of on-line purchases, etc. I bring every business file I have that could be related to money.

Accounting Software

My CPA provides any level of support that I need to file my forms and stay out of legal trouble. He gave me his Chart of Accounts so that he could import my file to do my taxes with only a minimum of chargable time. He works with a variety of accounting software packages, including Quickbooks by Intuit and Peachtree.

You should meet with a CPA or Accounting service early on. The most popular is by Intuit. ALL CPA's and bookkeeper services will know and work with Quickbooks.

I have used Quicken for my checkbook since my first PC and upgraded it many times. The last upgrade totally floored me. They made major improvements. Now they are very sophisticated, with online bill payment services and feeds to and from many banks, so you don't have to manually enter records from debit cards and automatic or online payments you have set up. It will save you lots of work!

IT Certification Info Credits like 70-270 and 646-204 are important for advanced exams like 642-642 series, particularly qualification tests like 642-845 and 350-018.

I selected QuickBooks from Intuit when I began my first business in 1997 and use it now. Over the years they have added many more options including a safe and secure online accounting system Quickbooks Online. I love it!
