QuickBooks Saves the Day!

We use QB in all of our businesses. We have used QB for a long time, both the Desktop and Online versions. It interfaces well with our other programs, exports well to Excel, and has been very easy to export for taxes and other purposes. We pull reports every couple of months to redirect our marketing budget.

QuickBooks saves time, labor hours, delay in processing, quick reports to keep things on track, and allows us to budget the company. We have 5 S-corps, so keeping everything straight is essential to functioning on a daily basis. Because of the reports, we are able to project future outcomes and have a good idea where we should spend more or less time and money resources.

I had to do a lot of tutorials at the beginning and learning it was not seamless. It is a complex program with many bells and whistles. I didn't know what I needed at that time, so I was trying to use everything. Once I realized that the basic program capabilities was all I needed, I felt better and my learning curve tightened.

Budgeting is the only real benefit that we appreciate the most...just being able to track our expenses and know what is bringing the income, what expenses have a return that is worth it, has been a game-changer. As they say, what gets tracked will get maximized...and this allows us to track everything, where it is coming from, where it is going, what the ROI of a certain business campaign is producing.
